Astringent Truth Not that I’m in any great danger of developing a super-inflated ego (or perhaps the fact that I feel this way is proof that I do have one!) but reading my reviews at Amazon.com has taken me down a peg today. Here’s my page – reviews at the bottom… Nothing the writers say…

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!
Sloppy I don’t drink much (Susan, stop laughing) but when I move to the hard liquor I get sloppy FAST. I just had a G&T, my own pet favorite next to bourbon & water, and I find myself so far gone compared to what I would have been in College! I’m now officially a cheap…
The Computer Ate My Post I had this lovely posting all written this morning – links to KnitDad (who kindly wrote to see if we’re getting hit by the NJ Flooding- we’re not, thankfully) and to weather stories, other stuff, and of course our DSL went down in the midsts of it and while trying…
Fried Knitting Today were my last two classes – a continuation of Combination Knitting and Interesting Intarsias. Let’s just say that the intarsias were less than fascinating by the time 2:00 rolled around! I was so tired, so fried, so at my wits’ end – and my students were pretty stuperous, too! I felt terrible…
Both Ends It’s a shame when my idea of a really hot night is going out for a beer, then returning home to do my laundry and knitting with some of my students in the dorm lounge downstairs! Well, not a shame at all, and probably not so different from what I would have done…
Gasping for Air I just got back from having a beer with one of my students – what a fun night! I haven’t laughed so hard in years, and as we got out of my car to walk back to the dorm I was literally gasping for air as we regaled each other with tales…
Teaching in Humidity Ah, it’s humid here in Lewisburg, PA – the way it can only be in the land-locked mountains – this is Ohio Valley humidity, Parkersburg, WV humidity, with none of the breezes from an ocean or large body of water to cut through the thick air! The rooms are air conditioned, though…
Sad Lesson Today Max had a sad lesson – and I guess I did, too. Gerry had taken Hannah to the pool for swim team practice, and Max was at loose ends around the house. He asked me to go on a bike ride with him but I told him I was busy getting ready…
Queen of the Road Tomorrow I pack up the car again and head out – this time for Creative Strands and the many classes I’ll be teaching. Since I’m teaching on Wednesday, and since it’s quite a drive, I’m going out on Tuesday so I can settle in and get my energy back up before…
Dog Days Actually, it’s not that hot today – we’ve had a run of very nice weather- lovely and not too steamy for early July. I was thinking of that yesterday as I was helping a neighbor dig up some Iris rhyzomes – she gave me a bundle – and we both realized that for…
