Afghan update
So, the last time I mentioned my Forever and Ever Afghan, it was October, and I’d finished 3 squares. I have been chugging along mightily since then, mostly since after Christmas. I won’t give a blow by blow of when … Continue reading
For a Skitl
The things I will do for a sktil. Not a skittle (yummy sugary candy), but a skitl – the name my brother and sister-in-law are using for their baby. I bought some yarn for it (we know the baby is … Continue reading
Another Pretty Shawl
My huge knitting projects for the year are complete. I finished the second wedding shawl on Wednesday night (at 11:58pm or something). It’s beautiful. It’s HUGE. It is DONE. Here it is sitting on our standard 3 person couch: You … Continue reading
It’s been too long
So, yes, I’ve been quite remiss in writing here, but life happens. I’ve been half decent at getting in my runs, with 77km since the last time I wrote about running. That includes 2 races: Harry’s Spring Run Off (8km) … Continue reading
Book 4, knitting and more!
So, this post is a huge mash up of the last few days. I’ve done a little bit of everything, and so it’s going to be all over the place. On Friday, I ended up walking around on campus a … Continue reading

General update 1
All has been quiet here in the past week. Although it could mean that I haven’t done anything toward my reading/running/knitting goals, that is not the case. Well, it is the case for running, but more on that shortly. It … Continue reading
Blocking Gabes’ Shawl
So although I haven’t said anything about it, I have been knitting. Mostly on a pair of socks, that I have had to re-start twice. I ended up having to go down to a 2.75mm needle, which fixed the problem … Continue reading
Let’s try this again…
For Christmas, my wonderful husband got me Toe-up 2-at-a-time Socks. I cast on my practice pair that day. Since my almost 3-year-old nephew was visiting (with his parents, of course), I figured that they would be perfect for him, especially … Continue reading
A solution for a cold throat
So I cast on a little Calorimetry after my run on Sunday. I made it a little smaller than recommended, but it feels perfect on me. I also didn’t really want to find a button, so I did a bobble … Continue reading
