Trying to Prepare for Winter
Winter came knocking the other night with howling cold winds. And even though I was snuggled up under a quilt on the couch, I realized that I needed to prepare knit wise for what looks like it may be a cold winter. It is embarrassing to admit as a knitter but I honestly have one [...]

Bad Internet
My internet connection has been giving me fits the past few days so I haven’t been able to really get online. I can get online since it is DSL but let’s just say that 98% of the time, the connection speed is so slow that everything times out. And according to my internet provider the [...]

Helpful Hints
Not much to report today since I am going to visit a place I hate. I have to go to the dentist’s office here very shortly. If anyone thought I had a phobia about zippers, it has nothing to my extreme fear of dentists. I actually have to take a tranquilizer before going there. And [...]

Busy Knitting
I am busy knitting. Well knitting and editing photos. Even without walking too much on Saturday, I still managed to shot almost 500 images. I am busy going through the images and editing the keepers. If my ankle had been healed enough to allow me to climb some of the paths I like, I would [...]

Fear of Zippers
Strange title but I am honestly afraid of trying to sew a zipper into a project. I have long admired the box bags that I have seen on Etsy. I have even found tutorials on how to make them. But I have this fear of putting in zippers on sewn items. It probably has something [...]
