Apparently I misunderstood. The X-ray wasn’t negative as much as inconclusive, so I’ll be going for a CAT scan. Why this scares me, I have no clue. Generally I enjoy being the center of medical attention (take this self-serving blog post, for instance…) but I think I’d rather skip this. My doc called with my…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Permanent Residence
The whole lung thing is getting ridiculous. It affects so much of my life – amazing how exhausted one gets when the air passages aren’t clear! I’ve been down with this off and on for a few weeks now, and feel so whiney to talk about it all the time. This weekend it got totally…
TWTYTW* in NO order!
– I’m here! – I saw the cutest models EVER in IK – No major losses this year in the immediate family, and a recovery from the ravages of breast cancer by my cousin, Jan. – I signed my first contract with two different publishers for two books (MWK & WWJ. – I published my…
Twisted Float Detail
Shown in Artyarns SupermerinoSomeone wrote asking me about the twisted float detail. I realized that I had never posted an image, so it was time I did! Also, answers to the Drivers License: I’m 2″ shorter than I was, thanks to the ol’ hormone induced bone density shrinkage thing, and didn’t want to explain to…
Driving SUCCESS!!
With a few days to spare! Right after I took this photo (I was freezing, and feverish) I came home and collapsed onto the sofa and slept for 6 hours. Then I woke up, chilled and feverish again, and Gerry gave me a mug of the CVS Severe Cold & Flu stuff I bought a…
Movie Knitting
There’s a $2 movie theatre not too far from us that shows 2nd run films. I took the kids there to see Wallace & Grommit earlier this week, and had a FABULOUS movie knitting experience. Perhaps it was because it was a knit-friendly W&G experience, but as I was furiously trying to work past the…
Miter Me, Baby!
I spent the day reworking an edging on a mitered coat that was knit up for me by Donna W (thanks, Donna!!) for Artyarns in their Ultramerino 4 – a sweet little fingering weight yarn that knits like buttah (just ask Donna…) I wanted to get it finished so the Artyarns folks could take it…
The Madness
Christmas was pretty great – as low key as we could make it and still have a noisy, toy filled day for the kids! Lots of clothes (Max totally NOT excited, Hannah more so, but both really wanted TOYS!) and a few good choices with the toys. The day ended with friends coming over for…
The First Edit is IN!! Huzzah, huzzah!
The first complete edit of Wonderful Wire Jewelry is in – and I am sore happy! … and did you notice that I snagged the domain name? I feel so happy I could burst! I do understand that it’s just one step, bit it was a big one. Reading the entire book, looking at all…
No License for YOU!
I must say that I looked adorable. I found a wonderful woman at the Clinique counter who did a lovely, natural job on me (and yes, of course I bought something – what do you take me for!?? I got TWO different moisturizers for $58 and left with a list of stuff to leave out…
