Back to the yarn shop today!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 24, 2007
Got ready to knit last night and lo and behold! – I couldn’t find my knitting bag. Oh, darn! Left it at the yarn shop yesterday after class. So, after taking Oliver and Sofi to be groomed this morning, I’ll be heading back to the yarn shop. Hmmm…..wonder if that was done intentionally so I [...]
Gotta Love Friday!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 23, 2007
Ahhhh…..Friday, knitting class from 10 – 12! Probably the best day of the week. Our ladies in this group are so much fun that 2 people from the Wednesday class just stop in to knit a little! Glenna brought in a strawberry coffeecake fresh from the bakery….yummy! I took frozen chocolate eclairs, no comparison, but [...]

Yesterday, Sunday, I finished my first sock! Quite an accomplishment since it was started in August of 2005, yep, 2005. I immediately sent my knitting friends an email telling of my accomplishment and asking if I should cut off my other foot or attempt the second one to complete a pair. One friend emailed me [...]
UFO’s
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 17, 2007
This is the year that my UFO’s become FO’s!!! I’m keeping a little piece of everything that gets completed, that’s right, completed, in a clear Christmas ornament. Then when Christmas comes around I can hang it on my tree and remember the fun or frustration of my knitting projects throughout the year.
Of course, I could [...]
Where can I get this?
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 17, 2007
By the way, I’m looking for one of those tin contraptions that holds your needles for making socks. I know they are handmade. I think they’ve been in a knitting magazine but I wasn’t too interested because I thought I’d never tackle socks. But here I am loving to knit on double pointed needles and [...]
Yarn travels with friends
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 17, 2007
Last spring 3 other knitters and I took a yarn trip to the Atlanta area. What fun!!! Of all the yarn shops we visited our favorite was The Purly Gates in Marietta, GA. Ginger and Dana (owners) were so accommodating to us and so friendly. We must have spent 3 hours in there oooing and [...]
Infant hoodie
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 17, 2007
I have just finished the cutest hooded sweater for my cousin’s little boy, Jack. It’s on the blocking board now and when it’s “cooked”, I’ll post a picture of it. Of course when I showed it to my husband, his comment was “you made that for a baby living in Phoenix, AZ”. My immediate comeback was [...]
Get Stitches by RSS Reader
- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
