Hats!

Posted Sunday, September 30, 2007 12:43 PM by margot
The best part about making gifts for people who don't read my blog... Is that I can show my projects to you right away! That's Djevellue for Addie, daughter of my friends R & D. I picked up a skein of Socks That Rock from Juno when she last Read More...

Happy Birthday Rob

Posted Sunday, September 23, 2007 9:49 PM by margot
You may know him better as my knit model. He's such a good sport. He's modeled knits made for people larger than I, or things made for me when I'm having a bad hair day and don't want to pose. He's my gaming partner, cycling buddy, Read More...

Cinderella Socks, done!

Posted Saturday, September 15, 2007 6:41 PM by margot
The Cinderella socks are finished. I *think* they'll fit the person I had in mind but I won't know for about a month when I see her next. The yarn is leftover from a pair of socks that I made for me. I'm not thrilled with the short rows, the Read More...

Sheep! Wool!

Posted Sunday, September 09, 2007 8:22 PM by margot
Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival was this weekend. Yesterday me and the boy went to pet sheepies and bunnies, fondle and procure fiber-y goodness and create general mayhem with friends. I forgot to bring the camera for the 4th consecutive festival, but Read More...

And none shall outpaddle our paddlin' today*

Posted Sunday, August 12, 2007 10:01 PM by margot
My team placed 25th in the Dragonboat Festival last weekend. We were 24th going into the finals, the top 25 teams (out of 77) got to compete in the final round. Our poor showing in the last heat was for the most part due to timing. It occurred less than Read More...

socks!

Posted Wednesday, August 01, 2007 10:10 PM by margot
Last weekend I went to Falcon Ridge Folk Festival . I've been going there on and off (but mostly on) for almost 15 years. It's a weekend filled with music and dancing and camping and mud and sun and friends. I was delighted to see some old favorites 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...

Happy Spring

Posted Sunday, March 25, 2007 10:26 PM by margot
Lovin' this warm weather. Though I feel rather sluggish because I didn't take the walk I'd planned for the weekend. Instead, I've been on a finishing frenzy all weekend. I actually only finished 2 items, though 2 others are *this* close. I seamed the Read More...

Rhapsody inTweed, updated pix

Posted Sunday, February 25, 2007 4:40 PM by margot
Joy of joys, I am blogging from my own computer. I finally received my replacement power supply from Gateway; a full week later than they promised it. No surprise there as they had let me down at every step of the process. As promised, here's pix Read More...

Rhapsody in Tweed

Posted Sunday, February 11, 2007 8:23 PM by robrohr
Look! A finished object! Yes, the picture is crap. For the few hours of daylight that remained after finishing this puppy, my photographer was sick and flat on his back. Although he gamely took a few shots, his vantage point on the couch led to unflattering Read More...

Eighty

Posted Sunday, January 28, 2007 4:36 PM by margot
The first week of school was fun. I love the first week: seeing old friends and classmates, new books, no homework. I feel like this semester will be more manageable than the last one. I plan to post once a week through this semester. Any more than that Read More...

First FO of 2007

Posted Thursday, January 18, 2007 9:04 PM by margot
Two posts in one week! What will the neighbors think? School starts next week. I'm not looking forward to the new semester as I have for the past few years that I've been in school. On the one hand, I'm glad for a fresh start, on the other Read More...
