Finished Book

by 123pizza on January 30, 2009

So I’m part of this competition and am working on finishing books I have started reading but not finished. (What a concept.) This is the second book I’ve finished for the competition, The Reader. I started this book sometime last year with the intent of reading it with Best Friend. Somehow life got in the [...]

Ding! Socks Are Done!

by 123pizza on January 29, 2009

As the recipient of this wonderful pair of handmade, wool socks I just want to say how grateful I am for all the effort that was put into them. I couldn’t do it all on my own, so I would like to thank my Lovely Wife for picking out the pattern and doing something or [...]

Sledding

by 123pizza on January 28, 2009

This is our first snow of the season so the kids were glad to be able to use their sleds. Technically, it’s not snow. It’s sleet and has been falling pretty much all the time since Monday afternoon. Therefore, there was no school today and no school tomorrow. As much as I love my children, [...]

WIP – Hubby’s Socks

by 123pizza on January 23, 2009

I am still working on hubby’s socks. They are taking longer than I thought they would but I’ve never worked with sock yarn before so I didn’t realize how thin it was. I am happy with how they are turning out. I’m knitting them toe-up and like the fact he can try them on as [...]

Scarf Girl

by 123pizza on January 22, 2009

I posted this picture on twitter yesterday showing my attempt at wearing a scarf all day. You know, wearing the scarf as an accessory and not as a piece to keep warm. I made this scarf in hopes that I would actually wear it and so far it has been hanging in the coat closet. [...]

Stashing The Stash

by 123pizza on January 21, 2009

The other day my friend, JS, asked me how I stashed my yarn. Before I could answer her she told me how our friend, CH, keeps her yarn in a tote. (Well, of course, what else are you supposed to do with it?) She, JS, then proceeded to say how she couldn’t do that, have [...]

Yellow Socks and Clapotis

by 123pizza on January 19, 2009

Hubby found this yarn and asked me to knit him a pair of socks out of it. I don’t know if you can see the picture well or not but the color of the yarn is yellow. Most of you don’t know my husband but yellow socks is not something I would have ever thought [...]
