Another Gold for Team Wales

Posted Sunday, February 26, 2006 2:07 PM by margot
The pix of me modelling the Clap are subpar, so I'm letting Rob model my gold medal-winning scarf: I know, I know, the ends are still hanging. They're woven in now, promise. I don't think I would have faced the ripping and reknitting of this if it weren't Read More...

Upgrading the blog?

Posted Thursday, February 23, 2006 10:56 PM by margot
If things look a bit wonky, it's because Sweetie upgraded our blog software. I've been having fun playing around with some of the new features. Maybe I'll have some surprises for you one of these days. Or maybe not. I'm going to be so busy with classes Read More...

The blown head gasket blues

Posted Wednesday, February 22, 2006 9:44 PM by margot
I came home to this phone message this afternoon: 'Hi, It's Sweetie - just checking to see how your workshop went today. Oh, and I'm having car problems. I'll call back later." beeeeeep. Car problems? Turns out my poor little Honda was blowing white smoke Read More...

Clapotis, Take 2

Posted Tuesday, February 21, 2006 11:24 PM by margot
Oh yes, much better this time around. The backstory: I started my first Clapotis last October using Silk Garden 201. By the time I got to the penultimate ball of yarn, I realized that the shawl, while beautiful, was too wide and too short to suit me. Read More...

They came, they swapped, and all I got was a pile of yarn

Posted Sunday, February 19, 2006 9:31 PM by margot
Which is exactly what I wanted. The Stash Swap was a huge success. The camaraderie, the food, and the knitting were all first rate. The live-blogging - well, we were having too much fun to stop and blog. Hope you didn't mind the wait. None of the pix Read More...

Zillah

Lots of studying today, so it's a fiber-free post. I don't often post quizzes or memes, but I adore Edward Gorey's work and I couldn't resist this one. Besides, I like gin. You will drink too much gin. Not the worst way to die, but you won't remember Read More...

Queen of Procrastination

Posted Sunday, February 12, 2006 10:41 PM by margot
All over blogland, I see pix and descriptions of Olympic Knitting . Because I have to be true to myself, I have not yet begun my Olympic (re)Knit, Clapotis . Why? Because I was doing homework that I should have done last week! Perhaps I'll do the ripping Read More...

Let's catch up

Posted Thursday, February 09, 2006 11:02 PM by margot
I know, I know, it's been over a week. Let's skip the excuses and catch up, shall we? 1. The Knitting Olympics begin tomorrow. I've decided to join Team Wales . Why Team Wales when I'm not [to the best of my knowledge] Welsh? For one thing, I like the Read More...

Lost and found

Posted Wednesday, February 01, 2006 7:05 PM by margot
I found $15.00 in the parking lot in front of my condo over the weekend. The fact that the two soaking wet bills conformed to the pavement from being repeatedly driven over indicated to me that they had been there awhile. I picked them up, brought them Read More...
