http://caroleknits.net Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:00:31 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm still coughing and we're ALL tired of it! The other day Dale brought me these flowers and said he wished I'd "get better . . . or something." Hahaha. Good thing I know he loves me. I know you all love the weekend! Have a good one! http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/12/eye-candy-friday-180/ I finished my first handspun Baktus Scarf.  I can already tell that it won't be my last. These things are like potato chips - you can't have just one. The wood pile is an excellent model in the absence of the human variety. The yarn and the wood act like velcro ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/11/baktus-scarf/ Spring! http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/10/one-word-wednesday-2/ Today's topic, 10 Movie Stars You Would Like to Meet, is inspired by this week's Academy Awards Ceremony. No big surprises on my list, I bet. Meryl Streep. I'm putting her right at the top because I honestly think she's the finest actor of our generation. She nails every part that ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/09/ten-on-tuesday-53/ In no particular order, my random thoughts on the 82nd Academy Awards. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin weren't nearly as funny as I thought they would be. Bring back Billy Crystal. Sandra Bullock looked lovely. I thought her dress was elegant and her hair was simply beautiful. I'm happy that she won ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/08/oscar-thoughts/ Still winter here in New England. BUT the Oscars are this weekend and that makes me so happy! Have a good one, friends! http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/05/eye-candy-friday-179/ I finished the Mondo Cable Pulli just in time to wear it at SPA. And, luckily for me, my favorite photographer in the whole world agreed to do a photo shoot of me and my sweater.  Cheryl, baby Eloise and I headed outside right after lunch on Saturday. The lighting ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/04/mondo-cable-pulli/ As always, SPA was fantastic. How could a weekend away, full of knitting, spinning, eating and drinking with my best fiber buds not be? Sharon and I headed up on Thursday and had lunch at the Harraseeket Inn. We wanted to check out the new spinning space and we had heard ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/03/spa-2010/ Spring really is coming! This week we are doing 10 Things You Want to Knit RIGHT NOW. Another easy topic, I think I'm sensing a theme. Hamamelis. I think I might even start this one this week. Brainwash Bag. I promised myself I would try intarsia. Spartan Pullover. Dale needs a new sweater. Multidirectional Diagonal ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/02/ten-on-tuesday-52/ I forgot to post on Friday! I guess I was so busy packing and getting ready for SPA that it completely slipped my mind. It works out to my advantage, though, because I can use the picture I planned to use today and I get another day or two to ... http://caroleknits.net/2010/03/01/eye-candy-monday-2/
