I don’t believe I’ve mentioned it before, but Joe and I are big readers. While I’m knitting my little brains out, Joe is tearing through magazines, books, cereal boxes, etc. He is a devoted and determined reader, impossible to distract for more than 2.12 seconds. On Saturday night I finished my book and started finishing [...]

I may have mentioned that I bought a second skein of Jitterbug for the Love Socks just in case but I seem to be playing a little game with myself which involves refusing to believe I won’t have enough left in the first. Here is the sock and it’s tiny ball of remaining yarn on my [...]

The Alan Parsons Project is complete! I cannot wait to get it where it’s going… you guys are gonna dig it!
Still a toe and change short of a Love Sock but I’m making progress…actually, I’m not. I’m knitting into the black hole again. I’d rather not ignore the sock for a couple days but a [...]

Yes, I’ve been remiss. The bad day at Black Rock was worse than expected…including a break-up, some quick thinking and talking someone out of said break-up and about 48 hours of excruciating anxiety. You’ll be happy to know that fortunately order has been restored to the universe, I still have a boyfriend, a pair of [...]
Bad Day at Black Rock

This will be a short because I’m in quite a mood…a kind of curl up in a ball with the covers over my head mood. I’ve been working on the Love Socks exclusively since Friday which would make you think I’d made a great deal of progress, but, well, see for yourself.
Friday @ New Milford [...]

I have to wonder what I’m trying to do to myself. I know most knitters have multiple projects on needles, but they usually are different projects with varying degrees of difficulty… not me.
I went to see Joe this weekend with his socks and the Top Secret Knitting Project (which I may start calling the Alan Parsons [...]

I have the most wonderful relationship with my ad rep at a certain publishing company so whenever we’re conducting business we have a friendly little email chat along with it. She’s expecting a child in the fall so I ask about her girth and how she’s feeling, what she’s going to name the baby (I’m [...]
That, My Friends, Is How I Roll…

Today I’d like to share a few observations. The first is that people are generally rude and inconsiderate. It starts with my downstairs neighbor who will leave junk mail on the floor in the middle of the vestibule…the vestibule she will not vacuum despite the fact that she lives on the 1st floor. I clean [...]

And lo! I have finished one love sock! I took a pic of it that I’ll post once I fetch my phone from home, but here’s one that you might find more surprising:
Yes, it’s the SECOND love sock in progress! I’m so very proud that Second Sock Syndrome didn’t claim another victim on my account. [...]

I’m answering the sales line right now because the sales team is in a meeting…problem is, the sales line is getting customers complaining about not being able to get through on the tech support line. I know nothing. Really. I’m not lying or obfuscating. I’m just a warm body answering the phone. Unfortunately, nobody wants [...]
