Quickie Update
Posted by Jo | Filed under Knitting, Miscellaneous
The last couple of weeks have been especially hectic at work. I’m working on a major project that’s scheduled to go into production this week, so it’s a mad house. You’ll likely see shorter posts for the next few days, until things calm down a bit.
When I have a little time (very little!) I’m working [...]

I’ve been super-busy the last few days, so here are some updates.
We have fleas. Well, by “we” I mean the pets, not my husband and me (yet). This year appears to be particularly bad for them, and the usual flea treatments aren’t working very well. Tonight, my husband bathed two dogs, one rabbit and two [...]
Knitting: Secret Pal Goodies
Posted by Jo | Filed under Knitting
I got my final package from my secret pal, and it’s another goody!
I think I’m camera challenged. I know these pics aren’t great, but you should have seen the first ones I took.
It’s a little blurry, but the colors came out well. She sent four skeins of this, and it’s a beautiful mix of autumn [...]
Knit in Public Day
Posted by Jo | Filed under Knitting
I completely forgot about it until I started reading some blogs this evening; however, I think I redeemed myself by knitting in public yesterday.
I occasionally knit at appointments, and since my mom had a doctor’s visit yesterday, a scarf I’ve been working on went along with us. The man in the waiting room with us [...]
For a Good Cause

Here’s a note about crocheting blankets and afghans for children in need. I’m sure that knitting would be just as welcome.
If you’d prefer, many local organizations collect knitted/crocheted items for those in need.

No pics tonight, sorry, but I promise I’ll do some soon.
I finished my husband’s socks and put another set on the needles the same night. I really enjoy knitting socks, and I have plans for the pair I’m working on now. I wasn’t sure about the colors in the skein, but they’ve knitted up really [...]
Secret Pal Goodies
Posted by Jo | Filed under Knitting
I got my basket of goodies from my secret pal spoiler, Chris. I have to say, she really outdid herself.
The goodies were packed in a cute knit basket.
Unfortunately, the digital camera needs batteries, and I don’t have any at home, so I’m stuck using the camera phone tonight. The basket is tan, although it looks [...]

I had a lot of fun shopping for my secret pal. I won’t go into details here, just in case she reads this blog. I do SO enjoy shopping for knitting supplies.
I have no finished object to report, but I am about half-finished with my husband’s second sock. That’s an accomplishment in itself.
Sorry for the [...]

Wow, it’s amazing how optimistic I can be.
I thought that I’d be able to get right back on schedule. Yeah, right. I’m winning the lottery and getting elected President too.
My mom is still not quite well, but certainly better than she was. I’ve missed more work in the last month or so than I care [...]
Knitting Secret Pal
Posted by Jo | Filed under Knitting, Uncategorized
As I’ve mentioned before, I enjoy knitting. This year, I decided to sign up for the Secret Pal exchange here. I’m excited to pick out some interesting things for my pal, as well as receive some things I might not necessarily choose for myself.
As a part of the exchange, everyone posts answers to these questions, [...]
