Digging a ditch

It must be winter. I zipped the lining back into my jacket today. There were some feeble snow flurries yesterday which dumped a whole cup of snow over St Louis. There was ice on my car roof this morning. Bring back the 40C/104F heat! Bring back the sunshine! I&

Leftovers

Picked up one ball of yarn from Myers House at the weekend while Hubby was working on his Thanksgiving sermon for the old folks home. It was Classic Elite Bazic Wool in an orange sherbet colour for the leftovers blanket. The blanket is going to be made from six strips,

More yarn

This is my first ever skein of Koigu PPPM, colour 622, ordered from the Patternworks catalogue. I was expecting it to be more red and less pink, but I think this will work. I really like the dark purple/blue strands. It's going to be another neck scarf,

Wednesday round up

This site was down for part of today, and my email with it. If you sent me an email today, please resend it. My iPod has days where it chooses the perfect songs on shuffle. I like almost all of the songs on there, but with 859 to choose from,

Tidying up

Went through the stash box yesterday and picked out the stuff I'm never going to use. Some is earmarked for friends, the rest, I don't know. Anyone interested in a random grab bag of yarn for a few bucks? Got a ball of brown Sockotta, two

Confessions of a sockly nature

I lied about abandoning the Tiger sock. I took it out of its bag last night and started the heel while watching Highlander. I needed something to do while waiting for the accountant tonight so it got worked on at lunchtime, then again after work. I have an insulated lunch
