I love the way Flickr greets its users in different languages. (I think this hello! is Korean) Many of you have already seen the Curlicue Coverlet. If you fall into this category, move along…… I promise some progress pics from a new knit project on Monday. This is the blanket I knit for the baby [...]

I have spent the entire morning in a tizzy. A complete and total tizzy. Having questioned the usual suspects , I suspect this may be the real deal. What does it mean? What am I talking about?? Scroll down and see the post titled “Surprise!”? It is the one with the picture of Cara and [...]
a shower: the long version

WordPress seemed to be acting up this morning and I couldn’t get this entry fully posted. Let’s try this again! Here is a look at the cable needles that my darling Boar got me for my birthday. They are hand forged, sterling silver from Celtic Swan. Aren’t they gorgeous? Am I worthy? (don’t answer that!) [...]
