Monday morning MDSW recap
After doing a last load of laundry, double checking that my boys had food to eat for the weekend, frosting some cupcakes and packing my bag, I was off to the train station to pick up Rosi. We set off for the drive down, getting lost along the way, but ultimately arriving at Pam’s. [...]

Pork is a fruit*
So. Rhinebeck was this past weekend. I left the house with a bag of clothes and some cupcakes. I came back with a bag of clothes and lots of goodies.
The Minimalist Cardi did not make it to Rhinebeck. I had it all blocked by Wed. last week, but sleep [...]

Bandwagon mailcall
I admit it, I’m a follower. I’m a bandwagon jumper. A bunch of bloggers got these cool toys, and I had to have too. So I got my very own custom Knitter’s Rule. I love them to pieces.
A bunch of plurkers were buying yarn….they said the magic words. Malabrigo. [...]

I have no clever title
When I left you last post, I was frustrated by a day of driving all over NJ, a sick kid, etc., etc. I took a little trip on Thursday at lunchtime to a yarn store in Hoboken. Yarn shopping makes everything better, right? I went back to the office with 5 balls [...]

4th of July recap
The Fourth of July is my least favorite holiday, for reasons I won’t go into on the blog, but at least one of you knows my reasons why. But this year, I must say, was the best 4th in 13 years. Started off with getting to leave work early on Thursday, attempting to [...]

A sock!
What’s that? A sock? That *I* knit? No way.
My favorite part? The gusset decreases….
While running errands yesterday (Home Depot and Lowes, AGAIN), we took a few minutes to wander around Red Bank, where lo and behold there is a yarn store. Ok, so it was [...]

Suuuuuppppperbowl Sunday
Ok, I will admit I’m not a football fan. Or a baseball fan. Really, I’m not a sports fan. But I do like to go to parties. And we’re off to a superbowl party today. I’m still deciding what to bring with me other than the big crock pot full [...]

On cardigans and yarn shops
The cardi is coming along nicely. I’ve finished all the pieces and sewn them all together. I’ve got one more sleeve hem to sew up and then it’s on to knitting the border/button band. I even have pretty buttons to go with it. We leave tomorrow night to come back home [...]

Rhinebeck recap
What can I say about this trip? I had great company, finally met some people that I’ve only known online and had a complete blast. There was a lot of laughter, a lot of cheese (and meat) and a lot of yarny goodness. The only difference I would make for next year [...]

Mail call!
My friend Sarah was closing out her etsy store. I told her that if no one purchased particular items, I would take them. And I did. They are colorways I had before, but I loved them.
Also in the mail the other day, was my new Knit Picks needles. I already [...]
