Final FOs for 2007

I spent the weekend trying to finish up some final FOs for the year. I managed to finish a hat that has been on the needles for over a month. I also finished one pair of mittens that are a gift. I had already finished the other pair of mittens that are also a gift [...]

Friday Sky & Friday Kitty

Holiday Knitting

I managed to finish all four hats just in the nick of time. The two hats that went to my fire chief’s little girls were given to their grandmother Christmas Eve. They were still damp but she said that she had a place to put them and would make sure they were dry by Christmas [...]

Busy Helping Elves Finish

Trying to finish one more project before tomorrow morning. But so far I have delivered two hats and still have one more to go. The two hats that were delivered are for two little girls. The one that is left to finish up is for my niece. What is funny about her hat is that [...]

Tagged

Rant Update

My parents got their power back about 3 am this morning. My brother got his back around 11 pm last night. But there are still people without power out there. And what is funny is that the electric company on Friday announced major upgrades which are really a way to do the maintenance that they [...]

Little Rant

Okay, the storm that was promised never materialized. It wasn’t even that much rain. But I still have a little rant aimed at the electric company. I got a phone call from my parents this morning wanting to know if I had power. I live in the old part of town and we have [...]
