Starting things

While I was down in CT for Liz’s graduation, I brought yarn- lovely beautiful yarn that I bought at the Sheep Shearing Festival, and I was planning on making Ishbel.  Unfortunately, I forgot the pattern!  So, instead of trying to figure it out (which I totally could have- after I looked at the pattern when [...]

Mother’s Day was a blast.  I was down in NJ visiting my parents.  We had a really great day on Saturday- went for a long walk, and out to a pub.  Totally fun! 
Unfortunately, I had to catch an early train to NYC to catch my bus on Sunday, so my mom and I went to [...]

31,872 Stitches to go

I’m trucking along! I got so much done this weekend!!!  I don’t know what my issue about counting the stitches is… once I started I couldn’t stop.  This picture looks so sneaky- like I was sneaking knitting time in during class.  I assure you, that is not the case.  I was just thinking about it…
