Questions of the Week #3 (SP12)

What would you consider the perfect amount of stash?
No such thing… you can never have enough… NEVER!  I thought at first that the perfect amount would be when you can just go to your “knitting room” (that’s what it would take) and just pull something from the beautiful yarn bins, and begin knitting.  But, even [...]

Finishing 102…

Patty and I made the trip to Kent on Saturday morning for our Finishing Class. Our instructor, Liz, is wonderful. This class was just as great as the first. We made a little vest this time.

This is my completed little vest… we learned how to pick up stitches for a button band, make button holes [...]

It’s Here!

Summer!!! 
OK, I know many of you on the Eastern side of the US have been enjoying summer for a long time now, but we have to see it on the calendar to really believe that it might happen!
Today, the calendar matches the weather we are having!  SUNNY with a few clouds and I think we [...]

Question #2 for SP12…

Week Two’s question:
As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday?
Over the years it changed from this and that…. riding my bike, running wild, playing with friends, staying up late, going to see cousins, swimming and laying in the sun, even picking berries.   BUT… the one thing that sticks out most [...]

Success! (part 1 of 2)

Yes, that’s right!  I think our WWKIP day was a Success!!

For some reason, when I asked for sunshine, I forgot to say in Aberdeen, and they had sunshine in Ocean Shores, where I live.  Oh silly me… or lucky me for when I got home!  It didn’t rain so I can’t complain.

First thngs first, bring [...]

Iced Coffee anyone?

SP 12 first question!!
What is your favorite summertime drink? Don’t be silly… it’s an iced coffee drink.  Favorite is White Chocolate Blackberry Iced Coffee.  Made with Batdorf Bronson coffee (Dancing Goats blend), Ghirardelli White Chocolate powder, Blackberry Da Vinci gourmet syrup, and unsweetened almond milk (or rice milk).    And to accompany it… what else… BATDORF & BRONSON [...]

That’s not fair…

It is so not fair to come out with all these wonderful things that I want to knit when I can’t even finish what I have on all my needles now! 
Yes, I have been visiting the Knitty.com website, they have the Summer issue up.  I want to make the “helena” and the “spring forward” (I [...]

2 Y E A R S!!

Wow does time fly!  It’s my 2 year Blogoversary!  I have learned so much over the past 2 years, and still so much more to see and learn!

Vanpool… yes today was day one in the vanpool.  I flunked out already.  I was late, imagine that!  It is 24 miles from my house to where I am to meet the vanpool.  I left 30 minutes before I was to be there.  I was 3 minutes late, and super stressed because I knew I [...]
