She's here!

Denise is home! Yay!!! The pictures are crappy because I took them with the VGA cam on my phone. :-) I thought I'd add something more to this post. I can't believe it took more than a month for the package to get here. I saw on the box that it shipped out of Virginia on March 25. Wow. I almost doubted whether I would actually get it. I'm kind of having trouble getting the connecting cord an...

another rabbit?? and planning ahead

I knit another one of those adorable bunnies. This one is going off to my cousin's wife (along with the gift I knit for their baby that I have been meaning to send for months! shame on me) for her niece who was in an accident. I wanted to knit her something soft and cuddly for her recuperation. I read on my cousin's wife blog today, though, that she's diving off the couch to scare her parents a...

Knitting up next

I'll have Drake take some photos this weekend of me and the sweater I finally, finally finished. Darn that looped crochet trim almost had me beat. But I would not surrender. Not to the looped crochet trim! Up next is a shorter, summery project: The yarn is beautiful mix of silk, linen, rayon and nylon (I'll be making it in a denim blue color):

your neutralness, it's a beige alert.

First and foremost, Charlie has taken over my chair. It's now called "Charlie's Chair." Whenever I'm not sitting in it, he is. And when I am, he sits on my lap. I'm not complaining, that's for sure. I missed the whole "What's on your needles Wednesday" thing. Well, I didn't know it existed until ... today. Soooooo here is a belated WOYNW post. Right now I'm working on a hat. It's a generic...

A long time coming

I lost my knitting groove for a while there. Knitting, and writing, and lots of other things fell by the wayside while I settled into a new routine, a new job, etc. Well, we're at the end of the school year, I'm off from June 15 to August 15, and in even bigger news, I'm getting married on Saturday! So that's the Real Life news. As for knitting, I've been doing a lot but not finishing much. Si...

I Love Harry!

The Harry Bear, that is. A co-worker had given me two skeins of Berroco Chinchilla, about 2 or 3 years ago. It's a lovely yarn, but somewhat novelty-ish and I had no idea (other than yet another scarf that I don't need) what to use it for. Then I hit on the Harry Bear and that's all I needed to spur me onto another project and something new. I just love him! I got hooked on the pattern and...

Unreachable

I realized this week that I unconsciously like to ruin relationships (my own, possible or ongoing). I like to royally screw things up. Like if something good can happen in my life, I then decide that that's not good and I need to mess it up somehow. I don't even realize I'm doing it until it's to late. So either I think I don't deserve such goodness or I think I'm to damn scared to be that clos...
