I'm going to focus on the positive. Maybe tomorrow I'll talk to you about the water heater fiasco. Yesterday I went to Corvallis and had lunch with Sarah (so fun thanks again Sarah) and picked up the rest of our newborn diapers. Here is what I wrote about when we first chose to cloth diaper. …

Knitting it up
First of all a winner: Jen Gough I drew your name so email me your address (link in the upper right) and I'll get this book off to you! Second, I couldn't figure out how to choose between all my new yarn. So I dug out one of my older skeins of Sundara, I am …
Even more yarn… and a give away
Sciarrino and I had so much fun yesterday going to the Blue Moon sale. The only bummer was my neighbor being too sick to come, though I appreciate her not wanting to get me sick! The Socks that Rock part of my haul: There is so much yumminess in that basket! I think I got …
Sundara – yarn from heaven
Oh man am I smitten. Way back in October I signed up for a couple of Sundara clubs. Yesterday my yarn came. After asking the guys if my mailman had come yet about 16 times Harvey walked into my room and handed me four boxes. I ripped into those suckers like a crazed kid at …
Dailies
I know I'm not the only one doing the December Daily thing with Ali. But I thought I would share my (really simple) take. Each day is like the one on the right, with a simple band of Ki Memories attached by staples, and a number stamped on Bazzill (orange peel texture, my favorite). I …
The easiest baby hat ever!
It worked! This is seriously from a rectangle of knitting, NO DECREASES, NO DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES. I may know people afraid of these things (and they shouldn't be), this resolves all their hat fears. You do have to seam up the back: But I doubt many would notice it much. Especially because the sides are …
Hospital Knitting
Thank you so much for all your kind words. Grandpa is doing okay. He doesn’t have a feeding tube, but something called TPN. The nurses described it to me as proteins, fats and vitamins in their most basic form. It goes right into a main vein and enters his blood stream. It skips his digestive …
The OFFF re-cap
This was the third year I attended the awesome Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. I went with my awesome neighbor Tracy and her friend Kathy the day after we got back from our trip. It’s my big stock up day for the year basically (although I did sign up for the Hello Yarn Fiber Club… …
Master Disaster
Oh blog, I’ve been avoiding you. I love cheery little posts and things of that nature. It seems that things have been getting a wee bit out of control over here. Grandpa, remodel, even knitting = problems. First up grandpa. He was recovering from his hip replacement fine for a few days, we knew he …
It’s been so interesting, oh wait, no it hasn’t.
I know being gone from the blog this long should mean that I was doing something so fantastic, like picking up and heading to Paris or something (passport not up to date, sorry). Instead I was busy being sick, yuck! And not fair because Saturday was my birthday and I was a sniffling sometimes crying …
