Vegetable knitting
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 30, 2007
Vegetable knitting is just doing the same thing over and over; I started an afghan for daughter and son-in-law right after my second bunion surgery. It’s the Blockbuster Afghan using Vanna’s Choice yarn. It really is pretty nice to work with. Am just about ready to begin the very last block. This is definitely a [...]
New Year’s Resolutions – this ought to be good, really good!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 29, 2007
1. When I buy something new (ie: top), two old ones get put in a pile for Goodwill.
2. Do not start another knitted project until those started are completed.
3. Try to keep up with the ironing – yeah, I know, I’m probably the only person that still irons!
4. Eat healthier – but I’m not giving [...]

Just received an email this morning from a friend that has set up her blog, www.dealscorner.wordpress.com Please check it out.
She said she’s going to use Ravelry to do the inventory of her yarn. I should do this too, but wanting to do it and actually doing it are two different things. Cat came over months [...]
Knitting for Dummies
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 26, 2007
I happened to be in Target over the week-end and in their $1 section, they had a very condensed version of Knitting for Dummies. I have the original one also.
However, sitting in the Drs. office this morning, I pulled it out of my purse and read through it – yep, waited a long time, a [...]

Woke up Christmas morning with a fever and coughing; felt like crap.
But I had thawed a 21 lb. turkey for the two of us. Finally got it in the oven about 11:30 a.m. If you haven’t used those cooking bags to cook a turkey, do it! It’s so slick and cooks fairly quickly too.
It was yummy [...]

Went to the NEW, just opened Rite Aid store. Drug stores have become shopping meccas with a little bit of everything.
Christmas stuff was only 33% off, but by golly the Valentine stuff was prominently displayed!
I don’t like it, even tho’ I’m one of those that “holidays ahead” sometimes. Come on, it’s not even Christmas Day, [...]

- 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.
