First Sox Okay, not actually my FIRST sox, but my second pair! Woohoo! Here are the little sockies I’ve made for my litle girlie. We are planning a LONG car trip to Dallas in Dec for Christmas, and my plan is to knit sox for the family on the drive down (sil, brother, dh, son,…

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!
Your input is invited… Hey fellow (and sister) knitters – I’m sending in a bunch of submissions on Monday – as always, acceptance of my designs is a crap shoot based in equal parts on 1)What I’m able to come up with, 2) What the mags are looking for, 3)The phases of the moon and…
This Just In… I PASSED MY REAL ESTATE CLASS FINAL EXAM!!! Now all I have to do is pass the state licensing exam – wish me luck! I’ll try to take it as early as I can next week so I forget as little as possible!!! I was so excited on my way home that…
I should be studying… But I’m taking a break to post this: The swatch shows the “wrapping” effect from diagonally placed YO’s & corresponding decreases.Originally I envisioned the collar portion in bright jewel tones (lots of red) and gold. It’s the original concept for the Egyptian Collar that’s in the current Winter 2002 Knitters. My…
Lurking in my own Life… I feel like I’m sleepwalking these days – getting over the exhaustion of my trip, dealing with the projects that all seem to have deadlines the same week (two sweaters, a necklace and a bunch of art stuff for the South Orange Craft Fair due the first week of Dec)…

Good to be back home! I had a whirlwind trip through Virginia & West Virginia then back home to New Jersey – all in 5 days. Friday I passed through Harrisburg, PA and stopped at The Mannings for some chenille, needles and a book or two. I’d never been there, and if I felt I…
Go to the Movies! It’s out – Far From Heaven is in theatres tonight! It looks like a good one – go see it – if only for the MAGNIFICENT sweater in the Christmas scene! Knitting is FUN! Best part – working with Sandy Powell – a personal heroine of mine… – also, the fitting…
Hey! I won 4th place! and I didn’t even know it! We went to the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Fest – we even saw my hat in the 4H booth but the folks there told us that it hadn’t won anything, they just put it up for display. Today I got my hat back in…
I am sick at heart Is it that the Democrats don’t know what they’re doing, or do we just not care? Hendrik Hertzberg said it best in the Nov 4, 2002 New Yorker: …And Democrats can be forgiven for feeling a little bitter that the political legitimacy he [Bush] failed to earn at the polls…
