See what I think about things I’ve worked with.
I have only begun to think about fall, and you’re telling me September is over?! Good grief! The whole month was a bit of a blur in this house, between having weekend guests, weekend events, and swinging full-speed the school year. between full-time classes for me and part-time work for Jared, we are becoming master … More And there went September
Four whole days left in August, and two pairs of leg-foot-type-adornments are done. Huzzah! One of the many things I love about heavy-gauge socks. Cozy, warm, and FAST. Even though I did them on needles that were too small and they’re practically compression socks. (I’ve knit enough pairs of socks that I’ve screwed them … More Ready for Fall…
A few years ago, I bought a lovely skein of yarn at a yarn store northwest of Baltimore (sorry; don’t remember which one). When I go into yarn stores these days, I usually ask if there’s anything local, since there’s not much point in yarn tourism if I can’t get something that I could get … More Dubious
Here I thought I was so ahead of myself for finishing my first August sock two whole days before August is half-over, and I forgot that I hadn’t even blogged about July’s socks! Oh well. Naomi still loves me. Yes, the idea of knitting matching socks for baby every month has completely devolved, mostly because after … More July and Lace
Hey look, June happened! Did it ever. The beginning was a whirlwind of class and more class, and the rest of it has been a slow and steady recovery, wherein we find that even with almost nothing to do, we still don’t have enough time. At least the things that we now don’t have enough … More Loons in June
Some time last year I started to knit a summer sweater. It was out of yarn that I won as a special prize at the Maryland State Fair years ago, but it wasn’t really something that I would ever have picked for myself (I don’t really think of myself as a periwinkle person, and I … More Summer Sweater Narrative
The most complicated two weeks of my summer are over. I have completed Greek Exegesis – two weeks of intense, in-depth Greek grammar and interpretation for several hours a day. Plus homework almost every night, and starting an online class right in the middle of it. Mom came up to help us out again, setting … More Finishing Things
February’s socks were knit in the first week of February. Then there was a baby. March’s socks were started, back when Naomi slept most of the time, was highly portable, and I was under the delusion that parenthood was a manageable add-on to normal life. Then March happened. Then April happened. Then May. When … More March-April-May Socks, with a Bonus!
Due date plus six here, and all is well on the home front. Every night we go to bed wondering, is this the night? Every day I check the weather, hoping it’ll safe to drive into the city to the midwife center. With all this baby talk, you might have forgotten that there’s still a … More February Sockies
It’s just past midnight as I write this, so we’re at due date + 5. Definitely well within the realm of normalcy, but I’m starting to get ancy (antsy? ants in pants?). This was also my first Tuesday not at work, so I technically had the whole day free to get ahead on homework. But … More In Progress for Baby In Progress
