Three FOs! (Two for Dulaan, one for me)

Posted Saturday, June 24, 2006 12:29 PM by margot
I had a root canal yesterday. Since it was an emergency appointment, I thought there'd be lots of waiting and that I'd get lots of knitting done. Thankfully (or unthankfully, depending on how invested you are in my WIPs being completed) my dentist got Read More...

News!

First off, Happy Solstice! I love the long days of summer. I live far enough north that I really notice a difference in the amount of light we get each season. Oh, news? You want news? I was offered more hours at work today. I've been working 30 hrs/week Read More...

Squares!

Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 5:17 PM by margot
This isn't all of them, its just as many that would fit on my dining room table: I've fnished 70 out of 80. I've stalled because I need another light color. Several of the light colors that I've ordered have been too medium in hue. To fully make use of Read More...

To rip or not to rip...

Posted Saturday, June 10, 2006 8:56 PM by margot

Stoopid Foldershare

Posted Saturday, June 03, 2006 11:50 PM by margot
I took some pictures of the finished napkins last night and made a post to showcase them. Unfortunately, Foldershare has some glitch and isn't loading my photos to the blog server, so I'm holding back that post. Just got back from a contra dance. I haven't Read More...

Watermelon napkins, check!

Posted Thursday, June 01, 2006 11:30 PM by margot
