I have to say, learning to KIP (knit in public) was fairly hard for me. I wasn’t ashamed- I’m a very proud knitter. I just don’t like being looked at. Stared at. Oogled. Whichever.
Having once been an advocate of breastfeeding (I still am an avocate, I just don’t have a baby to feed anymore), it may be hard [...]

I spend way too much time on the web, and I frequently come across blogs that are a ghosttown. Wind whistling and tumbleweeds tumbling and all. So why I am I so ashamed that I am the owner of such a blog?
I could argue that I have neglected it because I have self-esteem issues: “Why [...]

Let’s just say I’m giving it another go.
Frankly, Life got so crazy that I never had any time to knit. I go through phases like that. But then I realized I was depressed and that maybe part of that was because I had given up everything (read: knitting) to take care of my 3 kids (2 [...]
Stupid lys people…

Okay, so I went into our lys yesterday, which isn’t really a yarn store at all, but rather a quilting store that ‘tolerates’ knitters by offering them a cramped, disorganized, ugly stash of yarn at the back of the store. I hate this store. Perhaps hate is too strong a word- I’m not one prone [...]

Here it is, the finished touch of whimsy scarf:
I’m very pleased with it. Not only was it my first time knitting lace, it was also my first time using wool… I will never go back! I love wool- I love the way it feels to knit, I love the way it looks, and I even [...]
the good, the bad, and the tired…

the tired: Another sleepless night. I’ve been up since 2ish, and while the offspring is finally back to sleep, there isn’t much point in going to bed myself since I have to get my other daughter up for school in 1/2 and hour. I’m terribly worried that this is just becoming a habit for Kes….

My sick, sick family!

I don’t mean like perverted sick (well, maybe my hubby, but that’s not really appropriate here). I mean coughing, sneezing, sniffing sick. My poor, poor little girl has it the worst (although i think I’m running a close 2nd, since I’m sick and I have to take care of her at 4 in the AM). [...]

This is my latest project.
I got the pattern here: http://www.craftychickonline.com/Knit%20Star%20Scarf.htm
Its my first time double knitting, and I love it! I’m planning alot of xmas gifts using this- although its a bit slow going, and my fingers get a bit sore. I just love the way it looks, except for the edges. I went to another [...]

I guess it takes a bit of work to get used to blogging. I really want to do it, but life keeps interupting.. damn life! The journal I work for is about to go to press so I’ve been super busy on that, and the baby and I have been so sick…
But I was jolted [...]

I know that no one is listening yet, but I’m used to talking to myself.
I am paid by a US company, and when i started my job back in 2003, that worked to my advantage. I made about $1275 US, and took home sometimes as much as $1800. That, plus the fact that I was [...]
