big changes

Posted Saturday, October 18, 2008 9:34 PM by margot
So I run into my neighbor * at school the other day. Since she spends a good part of every workday (and some nights) on campus, I was surprised I hadn't run into her sooner and said so. Her confusion at that remark led me to realize that I haven't Read More...

Ribbons

Posted Monday, October 06, 2008 10:00 PM by margot
Ribbons... of the county fair kind. Look! These are a month or so old now, the fair was at the end of August. Rob and I went on opening day to check out the cows, ducks and sheepies, to watch chickens hatch and to count my ribbons. I had a heck of a time Read More...

Sock Progress

Just started turning the heel. Not that you can tell from this pic. Rob suggested the name Nightfire. I think it might stick. Read More...

Socks, yet again

Posted Saturday, September 22, 2007 7:06 PM by margot
Don't know why, but I've been knitting nuthin' but socks for a couple two-three weeks now. Basic toe-up socks. Made with the Gurdy Run alpaca/wool 3 ply that I fell in love with at Vermont S&W two weekends ago. I'm using the misocrafty 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...

Cinderella sock

Posted Wednesday, September 12, 2007 5:44 PM by margot
You may recall the Rainbow socks that I completed about a month ago. I had a good-sized pile of yarn leftover, possibly even enough for another pair for me. Weighing the remains determined that I only had ~80% as much yarn as I used for the first pair. 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...

Moms know best

Posted Friday, August 03, 2007 11:56 PM by margot
We have a new camera at work. I had to get familiar with it because I need to support the staff who will be using it. So I took a few pix at lunchtime. I call this one Still Life with Lunch on Messy Desk. That empty travel mug had been full of iced chai 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...

More red Project Spectrum-y goodness

Posted Thursday, July 26, 2007 8:51 PM by margot
More red for Project Spectrum 2.0 ! I wish the photo showed the color gradations better. They're not as abrupt as they're showing up in the photo. I promise to get a better shot when the pair is complete. If I finish them this weekend, and I expect 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...

Holiday Knits

Posted Sunday, January 14, 2007 11:33 PM by margot
In all probability I am the last blogger to post my holiday FOs. I think it's worth the wait. I don't usually give anything to the resident cats, but they were so clearly in need of another kitty pi. How did I know that one wasn't enough? Read More...

Still June

Posted Monday, July 10, 2006 9:00 PM by margot
So July is supposed to be purple , eh? Well it's still June around here because I'm still hung up on blue. Which looks like purple in bad light. Think Lolly , mistress of Project Spectrum, will go for it? Observe: My first toe-up sock! I just finished Read More...

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...
