Hello. My name is Carole and I am a bad blogger. I went to the Boston Knit Out and didn’t take any pictures. Nope, not one. So sorry! I did have a great time, however. I went in with my friend Sharon and we met up with Kathy and her friend Shane. We visited the…

The following is the text of an actual conversation between Dale and I last night when he called me from his band job, a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina victims: Dale: work blah de blah de blah blah blah music blah blah blah cold blah blah blah tent blah blah lots of tickets sold doo doo…

Yesterday I finished the “watermelon” striped socks. Aren’t they pretty? Isn’t it nice that I have zinnias to match the socks? Can I just tell you that Vesper sock yarn is addicting? You think Kidsilk Haze is crack? Wait until you try this stuff! If you can ever get it because it sells out incredibly…

Meeting knitbloggers, both online and in person, is wicked fun! Last week I not only had the opportunity to shop and hang out with Norma but I also got to go to a book signing for Stephanie’s latest book, The Yarn Harlot. Being the over-achiever that I am, I arrived at The Sheep Shack at…

Listen up, gang, because I have some fun stuff to share! I know you’re all dying to hear about Thursday night at The Sheep Shack with Stephanie (and other and bloggers!) but that’s just going to have to wait because today was such a great day and I’m bursting to tell you guys about it.…

I had a great 40th birthday! Thank you all very, very much for your comments (27 comments for one entry! a new record!), birthday wishes, and advice on aging gracefully!

She tells me that other bloggers have had guest bloggers filling in on their special day, so here I am. If you read “Carole Knits”…

There was a song in the 80s called Kyrie by Mr. Mister that was quite popular. My friend Chrissie and I used to sing it all the time while wandering the campus of Wheaton College. Do you guys remember this song? Well, I gotta tell ya, I grew up attending church, but the phrase “kyrie…

Secret Pal 6 buddies are being paired as we speak. I haven’t heard from mine yet but should you stop by, check out my Secret Pal Answers. It’s everything you need to know about me. The rest of you can just ignore this post. We’ll return to our regular knit blog next time. In the…

Thank you everyone for voting and leaving comments on my Birch/Kiri dilemma. The exit polls have been most informative. Howevah, did you check the most recent results? We have a tie. A freakin’ tie. Nevertheless, I have made a decision. I am casting on for Kiri based on the sage advice of the talented lace…

Okay, so, at Norma’s insistence suggestion, I headed over to LBDtogo.com and bought myself The Classic. I’ve got this wedding to go to on October 15th and I need something to wear and this should be perfect. Well, it will be perfect if it fits. But I’ll worry about that later. So this wedding? It’s…

1. Driving to work with no top and no doors on the Jeep doesn’t do great things for my hair. But it sure is fun. 2. My friend Brian makes awesome chocolate martinis. I shouldn’t have more than 2, though. I especially shouldn’t have more than 2 when my friend Amy, who happens to be…
