Just enough time to surface above all the sorting and packing that’s been going on which has brought my knitting to a standstill. I keep thinking that I will make up for it on the long haul flights which we are going to be taking shortly. Dream on sistah! I’ve heard that Transatlantic Flights + Feisty Toddler = Severe Migraine. Eeeeeek!!! I might just step off the plane with crazy hair and that twitching eye which has a crazed look. But,… Read more »

What to knit next
My space here has been severely neglected…um, relocation and all that! But I just wanted to pop by and say ‘hi’:) I’ve been knitting consistently on my February Lady Sweater and I am so glad to say that I will be binding off the cuff on the second sleeve today and then I will be done with this Lady! Which always brings every knitter to the exciting part… What to knit next???? In a frenzy of knit-by-the-book-ness that I rarely… Read more »
Monkey on my mind
Since I’ve discovered that I love sock knitting, I am pretty convinced that there will always be a pair (or two) on the needles. Socks (and hats and toys and baby knitting) are the perfect projects to break things up when other larger, endless projects are on the go (…my February Lady Sweater!) It’s taken me almost two months to complete my latest FO which is insane because it’s actually quite a quick pattern once you work out the flow on… Read more »
What’s my number?
This title will definitely get the google-ers to perk up. I’m not sharing anything crazy like my phone number or dress size on the internets! I’ve been tagged by Anjali to fill out this list So, my numbers… 1: The number of movies I’ve watched this month 2: The number of glasses of wine it takes for me to begin slurring – so I sip…slooooooowly 3: The number of countries I’ve lived in 4: The number of vehicles I’ve owned –… Read more »
Green on my mind
Been thinking about going green for a while now. No, not the noble way of going green to make this world a better place but knitting from my green stash type of going green. I think that I’m too boring to be a tree-hugger. Although, I try to do my bit by recycling and being mindful of not being wasteful – now that’s a mouthful! Speaking of tree hugging, I once saw this group of tree huggers in Tofino getting… Read more »
Quiet
Too quiet…that’s what this blog has been. It seems like I’m in sort of rut life-wise, daily-wise, health-wise. Nothing crazy, I’ve just been feeling a little out of sorts lately and I think a trip to the doctor’s office is warranted. Seeing that I’m not too crazy about seeing the doctor, let’s talk about knitting. My first ever sock is done and I’m so pleased!! This is for the UAE Knitters Sock KAL that has been ongoing. The pattern I’m using is Dublin Bay… Read more »
Sick leave
It’s been flu season around these parts lately and we have been surrounded by Tylenol, tissues, VicksVapoRub (mmmmm), Sudafed (being drunk like it’s coffee sometimes!!!) and more tissues, tissues, tissues. Really, really bummed that I couldn’t make it to a knitting afternoon with all the lovely ladies from the UAE Ravelry Group. Will be back when this bug has been exterminated. A sick, sneezy, wheezy household – not a pretty sight. Knitting progress – absolutely ZERO!!!!
Hookin’
No. Not the thigh high boots, trashy make-up, mini skirt wearing profession. But this…. I was clearing out some stuff and came across this crocheted doily, table topper, runner (???) that I had finished a few years ago. I do not remember where I found the pattern for this but I do remember exactly when I began working on this and it brings back sweet memories. Picture this – freezing temperatures, crackling fire, Austrian alps, delicious warm Schoki… we were at a… Read more »
New beginnings
I blinked and the whole festive season passed by!! Wonderful, special times with family and dear friends made this Christmas such a memorable one. I smile when I think about the year gone by because of all the memories created. On to new beginnings and new adventures. Enter 2009!
Holiday joy
Every December, we seem to have a ton of goverment-issued holidays and this year has been no exception. Thank you Government, I’m not complaining! Many day trips and fun activities were planned and enjoyed and much laughter warmed our hearts. All this frenzy of fun has resulted in not many knits and purls and so I have nothing to show in terms of new knitting. A few projects are in various stages of progress (I’m still in small project mode) but… Read more »
