Super busy crazy weekend. Good though, wedding + visits always equal good. On Friday night Sciarrino took me for an early birthday present to Eugene. We went to see this. So wonderful! Beautiful stories of birth, and strong woman we are not afraid to enjoy it! We also went to a fabulous yarn shop (check …

Still counting jars
I still have a box of jars to wash, yuck. Then the lids, ah the lids, how I hate to wash thee. So instead I spun a little, you know mixing things up from the knitting groove: Is that not fantastically yummy? I’m spinning it pretty thin so I can ply it together and still …
Frogged
Okay I frogged it (knit speak for ripping it back, in this case all the way). Sciarrino came over last night and when I told her that I was bravely going to knit on she mentioned knitting the net row on a long cord just to check things out. I did and then put it …
It was awesome, and pregnancy is crazy
Sciarrino-nator and I went to the X-Files movie. Sigh I love Mulder and Scully. No spoilers, no worries, but I loved it. I love going to opening night things with other people really excited because when something happens everyone gets it and the reaction is great. We made these shirts for ever ago. When I …
Casting off, casting on
Projects finished: Cutie baby pants (Ravelry Link), that make up the rest of the cute little outfit: Oh my goodness I can’t wait to see my baby! I don’t know what I’m more excited for, dressing the baby, nursing the baby, holding the baby and never putting it down?!?! So much to do when the …
Camping… with bathroom nearby
This weekend Bj and I headed up to Zig Zag (on the way up to Government Camp/Mt. Hood). Can you even believe I’ve never been up there before? Maybe my parent’s took me when I was small, but I don’t remember. We always had a cabin at Black Butte, so we went that direction (east) …
Baby project updates
I finished the lovely little sweater just now. Knit most of it up over the weekend. I love it! I have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve now for attaching those sleeves (read all about it on Ravelry). I have to make the little shorts that go with it now. I just finished putting …
Baby Knits!
Okay so the baby doesn’t knit, but I am knitting for the baby. And have just a few frustrations. I got one of those worked out last night (not being able to find the right yarn), and finished this: It’s a little papoose. That is 48 inches of stockinette people – mo-not-on-ous! But easy, and …
Grumpy Old Man, Grumpier than ever!
You know what, I’m going to say it, not all old people are nice and sweet. In fact some are the opposite, like this guy: Ya, ya, he looks all cute and harmless, and like he’s taken a few falls this week (he has, two in fact). But man can this guy get on my …
Old School
Am I the only one who still uses this stuff instead of deodorant? I can’t find it anywhere and this little travel size that I thought was going to last forever is getting suspiciously light. I did find it online, but it’s so cheap I thought I’d ask if anyone has noticed it in any …
