We had a wonderful Christmas in our new house. Christmas Eve we dressed up and headed to Mass and then over to an annual Christmas Eve party that we attend. Even though we don't have family in town, it's nice to have friends that treat you like family. This particular family has known the man ...
...that you have to comment on the Berlioz blog post if you want a chance to win the gorgeous Swoolk yarn from Fiddleknits. I will be closing comments and drawing a winner first thing tomorrow morning! The stockings are actually coming along - believe it or not. The first one is done - here's ...
Working on secret projects is boring. Well at least for the blogging world. I've been meaning to blog more often, to come here and share more about life and knitting and designing, but I'm knee deep in a secret project and I can't share. Thankfully it's almost done despite a very tight deadline. I do have ...
So I'm getting there. I'm nearly half done with the wedding shawlette. I was hoping to have it finished in the next few days, but I've been called for jury duty. Guess what you can't have at jury duty? That's right - knitting. But apparently I can bring my cell phone and my netbook. So ...
It's amazing the things I see when I look at knitting. Today's special is the shawl detail pictured in the header of the blog. The edging looks like little feathers to me. Pettine is one of my favorite designs, worked side to side with a feathered lace edging and lovely scallops along the top. ...

Today was the annual Thanksgiving Feast up at the school. We serve up a proper Thanksgiving dinner - complete with homemade stuffing - to about 750 people. It's very fun, but very tiring. I served a lot of corn today and plated up a lot of pie. And all I want now is a hot ...
We had a canceled camping trip this weekend. So since a boy was bummed out, we decided to head down to Universal. I thought to myself, "Self, it's the perfect weekend. It will be cool and comfortable. And it's far away enough from Thanksgiving that surely there won't be that many people there." I was wrong. ...
I'm behind. I haven't had nearly as much knitting time as I had hoped for. I'm hoping that tomorrow I can play catch-up while I do laundry. I've decided to let it be a surprise - I will show you how fabulous it is when it's done! So what have I been doing with my ...
Some days are better than others and some days are worse. It's been one of those days where I am really not sure. I got up at the buttcrack of dawn to walk 8 miles this morning. Surprisingly enough it was easy. The further I walk the easier the "shorter" walks get. And yes I ...
