Pullover Progress

Posted Friday, June 29, 2007 7:41 PM by margot
I just bound off the hem. Seemed like a good time for an update. I look less-than-thrilled, no? This was our third photo shoot. It was a tough shot to get in the late-day light. That's not a pond behind me, that's a sunbeam! Oh, and I 'm glad Read More...

A sweater with a little frog and a sweater to be frogged a little

Posted Thursday, June 28, 2007 1:27 PM by margot
Why do I procrastinate on finishing? This lovely little kimono was knit + seamed at least two months before the baby for whom it was knit made her arrival. So why did I wait until after she was born to sew on the frog? That's all it needed - a 10 Read More...

Buried Treasure

Posted Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:18 AM by margot
I finally organized my yarn. I found a few treasures that I forgot I had and a few that I had forgotten where I'd placed them. Best of all I got inspired to knit with what I have. I also found some pre-blog FOs. Since I've been organizing rather Read More...

Earflap hat for Mom

Posted Thursday, June 21, 2007 10:29 PM by margot
Let me tell you a little bit about my mom. My mom does not leave the house in blue jeans. Or without lipstick. She is not vain or trendy but is meticulously groomed at all times. She sets her hair on Saturday night for church on Sunday. And is very particular Read More...

Third time's the charm

Posted Tuesday, June 19, 2007 6:43 PM by margot
Process knitting is all well and good, in theory. But by the time I cast on for the third time on the same project I start to get a bit weary of the whole thing. The sock below was cast on three times. It's a smidge to wide, but I can't bear to Read More...

Knitting, you say?

Posted Monday, June 18, 2007 6:18 PM by margot
What's that? You say I don't knit anymore? Admittedly, it's been pretty slow going. I had that finishing frenzy in March, then I started Lizard Ridge, then I was swamped with end-of-semester work, then I was training for the Vermontreal (my Read More...

Vermontreal, continued

Posted Saturday, June 16, 2007 8:44 PM by margot
As I mentioned in the last post, we didn't bring a camera on the Vermontreal , our weekend bicycling vacation. The battery for our camera was so old, it could only keep a charge long enough to take ~20 photos (we've since replaced it). So I had Read More...

But... the balloon festival was last weekend

Posted Saturday, June 09, 2007 11:10 PM by margot
So this evening Rob is out on the deck grilling up some chicken and asparagus for our dinner and calls in to me in the house, 'Come outside, there's a balloon!' So I did. I said to Rob, 'It's going to fly right over our house!' Read More...
