Today’s contribution is from Linda (a.k.a. Mom)! ~Rebecca This sweater for my mom was the biggest project I started and actually finished this year. I began in May, and finished in early December. This was made with 2 strands of Rebecca’s blue Second Chance lace yarn, and 1 strand of Rebecca’s blue and brown sock … More Three Yarns A-Slip-Stitching
These two baby sweaters more or less explain themselves – Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jackets, knitted in my very own Second Chance Worsted. (If you’re curious, it took about 300 yards of each color to do both jackets.) They are the medium size, in worsted weight, so they’re rather big for newborn twins. But they … More Two Baby Surprises
Merry Christmas to all! Huzzah and hooray! Today is Christmas which means that by the time you get around to reading this, all the bazillion knitted things I’ve been knitting and not showing you have gone out to their respective recipients, and you get visual proof that I haven’t secretly developed a wool allergy. I … More And a Fuzzy Pair of Fingerless Mitts
This has been one heck of a year. Whenever I stop to think about it, I just have to shake my head. Now that it’s almost over, and I have a fine collection of minutes put together in which to breathe and think, I’m almost afraid to reflect on everything that’s happened. I’ve knitted something … More The Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever
And I’m done. Final paper, ready for editing, seen here with the obligatory glass of editing liquid. 18-page paper for Anglican way merited the dry sherry. (I don’t think the alcohol affects the quality of the paper, but it helps with the second-guessing… so when I turn it in I am happy instead of trapped … More I’m Alive
For everyone who did the math, whether algebraically or geometrically or logically or intuitively, you were right. I did not have enough white. It would have been obvious if I’d admitted it to myself, but deep down I sort of wanted my socks to look the same. I didn’t think of myself as an advocate … More Finnished
Remember word problems? I remember hating them. I think it was because I was good at math, but word problems really required not math, but reading comprehension and analytical abstraction, which I was not taught (at least not in math class). But now I love them, because I enjoy logic puzzles, and because I don’t … More Word Problems
I’m still here, churning out the Christmas presents, burning the midnight oil, writing here while waiting for attachments for my Biblical Theology project to upload. But enough about that. I have been working at a new yarn shop – Yarns Unlimited – for over two months now, and I’ve been saving some pictures of it … More New Second Home
It finally happened – the interwebs ate a post. Here I was, almost finished, moving some text around, I press Ctrl+Z one too many times, and it all disappears. Usually I am pretty clever with these things. But why am i surprised? I’ve written eleven pages of papers in the past two days; my brain … More US4
I’ve been asked to make it clear who is posting, Rebecca or Mom, so I’ll start by saying: this is Mom (Linda.) It’s well worth the investment to get a second swift if you dye your own yarn…..and it’s quite exciting too! (Or borrow a second one from a close friend….or ask for it as … More Reskeining Surprise
