So, this Dulaan Project thing? Ryan has started a new one. And I sort of missed the boat on the last one because I wasn’t blogging yet and then when I started blogging and read about it I got all shy and was too intimidated to join up. But, now that it’s new? And I…

Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!

There was knitting over the weekend, I swear. See? The picture is boring and the knitting is boring, too. It doesn’t matter, though, because the end result is for this cutie pie! Yes, indeedy, there was an Ambrynn visit last week. I only took a couple of pictures but I did manage to catch this…

If I write a post about the knitblogging community will it distract you from the lack of knitting content? I hope so. I need to tell you that I am awestruck at how connected this community of knitbloggers is and I’ve only been part of it since January. I have met great people and been…

We’re in the midst of hurricane season around here, which really just means that every brewing storm gets mentionned on the news as a potential catastrophy. Now, hurricanes are not rare in New England and most of them, while damaging and potentially frightening, are not something to get all worked up about. However, every once…

We started out the week with a trip to North Conway, New Hampshire. We drove up on Monday and stayed overnight. We chose the motel room, not for the great amenities (there was no shampoo! have you ever heard of such a thing?!?) but rather for the view from our back balcony. Here’s the sock,…

On Monday we went to Newport, RI and toured a couple of the mansions. We went here and I once attended a formal ball here but this is my hands-down favorite. I could have taken some great photos of the sock “living large” if only I had remembered the camera. We had a great dinner…

The weekend in Manchester, Vermont at Hildene was great fun. The weather was ideal, despite a brief period of showers on Sunday morning. The company was fantastic; we caught up with old friends and made some new ones, too. The knitting was plentiful and the sock I started in the car on the way up…

Knitting lace is great. It’s challenging, it’s fun and the end result is a beautiful . . . something. I know this because I have finished the Leaf Lace Shawl. (waah hoo – throw me a party) It took nearly two months and it was my first lace project and I’m pretty happy about the…

I Am a Plain Ole Cup of Joe But don’t think plain – instead think, uncomplicated I am a low maintenance kind of girl… who can hang with the guys Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that’s me: the friend everyone invites. And I’m dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic…

The sock and I spent the day yesterday at what we fondly call the “family beach.” It’s actually on the opposite side of the pond from where Dale’s Boy Scout troop goes to summer camp and I have spent many, many happy hours there over the years. In the summer of 1999 it’s where I…

So, do you think I blew it? Or do you think I kept the faith of the “Wednesdays are for Quilting” rule? Here’s a hint. That’s 36, count ’em 36, Log Cabin blocks with the first light and first dark sides completed. So, I must have stuck to the rules, right? Well, ummmm, not exactly.…
