Update on Baby Surprise Jacket
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: June 28, 2008
Came home from the last KAL for the Baby Surprise Jacket on Thursday and felt I was on the right track. Even knitted to row 19 Thursday evening. Counted the stitches and lo and behold, yep, one stitch too many.
So, I put it away and decided Jan could help me at Panera’s on Friday morning.

Listen up readers! I’m going to give you the recipe for the best ever summertime sandwich in the world.

Update on Baby Surprise Jacket…..
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: June 23, 2008
Ah…..I think it helps if you cast on the correct number of stitches! Yep, another frogging this afternoon.
I will conquer this project, if it kills me, or maybe I should say even if I go to the looney bin over it!
Yummy dinner, well almost!

Bought some yummy looking tomatoes at Farmer’s Market and decided tonight’s main dish would be B (bacon), L (lettuce), T’s (tomatoes).
However, when I got ready to fix the “L”, I had bought a head of cabbage instead of lettuce. Yes, I do know the difference! And when I felt the cabbage, I thought to myself, [...]
I’m destined to live among the birds and their poop
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: June 22, 2008
Yes, I feed the birds so I’m probably asking for a lot of this. The baby birds have fled the nest that was on the front porch. Yippee!
However, sitting outside this afternoon in the gazebo and watching these little tiny birds fly away and come back and realizing they are not going in either of [...]
Another start over on the BSJ – sheesh!

Picked up the Baby Surprise Jacket to start knitting this morning, since I stupidly forgot to take it to the KAL yesterday, and decided I didn’t like the M1 stitch I used. So, I frogged and frogged and will now cast on and pay attention to what I’m doing.
I don’t know why I can’t do [...]

This is probably only one of the few days that I wish I was still working! LOL Yes, I would take my little Sofi to work and she would charm everyone! I noticed that Meredith on The Today Show took her dog; oh, and I think Kelly Ripa is taking her dog to work today [...]
Dogs + an envelope of dry turkey gravy = VOMIT

Haven’t written about the dogs in awhile so will bring you up to date with 4 dogs in one house.
In the kitchen I have a corner cupboard with a turntable. I don’t always get the cupboard door closed. Derby, our wonderful adopted dog from Freedom Farms in Nashville, that was found wandering the streets of [...]
Update: Baby Surprise Jacket

Thanks for all the encouragement on my previous post of the trials and tribulations of the Baby Surprise Jacket.
You will never believe what was messing me up!!! I was trying to be clever in using a stitch marker to mark the sl1, K2 tog, PSSO – well, once I finally realized these markers were doing [...]

I know you’d love it….but better yet, you will fit right in! It’s a bunch of zany gals that don’t have to have a reason to laugh and carry on….the [...]keepingyouinstitches
- 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
