And now for something completely different… Modeknit Knitting Book Picks Burn, baby, burn!

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!
Hey – get me! I’m Bill Clinton! And you might be, too! Take the “Wait, wait, don’t tell me!” Newsquiz and find out which newsmaker you are! This is hands down my favorite show on the radio (well, okay, this AND “On the Media” – oh, and “This American Life” – oh – and Car…
Silver Lining I am very sad not to be able to be in WV right now, but the silver lining is that I’ll be able to attend a friend’s birthday party that I had already RSVP’s “maybe” on – wahoo! Love parties! If it were a costume party I’d go as Brenda Vacarro or Susan…
Sore Throat But, sadly, it’s never stopped me from talking! I just had two of my intermediate students over for a class on finishing – what fun! Really! All of you who think you don’t like finishing – well, it’s better than sex. Seriously. I guess that’s a sad commentary on my Methodist childhood, and…
Back to my recurring Real Estate Nightmare Tonight is Monday. All day I dread that class. Ick. I spent a few hours studying the textbook (reading the phone book is more interesting) and almost missed picking up my daughter at the bus stop. We’re having a test tonight.

Whatever doesn’t kill us… This has been a year and three quarters. Sometimes I wonder if my overwhelming, constant exhaustion isn’t partly a physical reaction to the mental and emotional stress this year’s wrought. As some of you know, we’ve been battling cancer in our family – several of us in various ways – and…
Baaaaa! So, while the kids fell in love with the Llamas, sheep, cows and goats (Hannah’s favorites) I ran amok at the Sheep & Wool Fest. Let me just say, I have the NICEST husband – not only will he chase our kids for an extended period (something not even I am eager to volunteer…
Winner! Any day I wake up and see my husband, my dog and several kids in bed with me, I’m a winner! Staceyjoy’s Hat Contest is UP AND RUNNING – Woo Hoo!!! Great job, Stacey – the hats look so exceptional, and all judges decisions are (as always) absolutely right on the money! I just…
