She Knits Too

For iPhone Users - Check This Out

Since I don't have any knitting to share right now I thought I'd share this with you compliments of my offspring. It looks like a neat little stitch minder but since I don't have an iPhone and am not getting one anytime soon I'll just stick to my old method, ticking them off on a sticky note.

But hey, if I had one for sure I'd try this freebie out.

The Socks Are In The Mail

Rowan Falar, I'm putting you on notice... by Thursday I hope to hear of your demise, he he he... Now I just have to hope that my Assassin is a slow knitter and I can knock your Assassin off too.

Doesn't look good for me though really, my target and I have been exchanging friendly emails and my Assassin has been dead silent. That can only mean two things; either she's dropped out of the game or she's keeping real quiet about how fast she can knit and her bomb is on the way.

Either way, it was an interesting experience and kept my mind thoroughly occupied during this past very difficult weekend and for that I'm grateful. There is a post coming about what went right and what went horribly wrong with this contest but my friend The Knitting Nurse wrote about it here and here. Actually I think she says it better than I ever could...happy knitting

You Won't See Me - Until...

I finish a pair of socks or I'm knocked off...What say you, what is going on over there in T-Dot. It's this stupid thing I signed up for called Sock Wars III, grrr.

Now what's at stake besides my reputation as a sock knitter? Well, just $500.00 worth of yarn, that's what. Some how though, I don't think I will make it past round one for two reasons, 1. I just cut my finger and it will slow me down, and 2. It's a busy weekend and this thing starts at noon tomorrow.

But I won't go down without a fight, so cheer me on...

I Made Some Yarn

Last week I got this new toy; my husband just shakes his head and asks me if I'm nuts. It tell him it will relax me and keep my blood pressure down, although at the moment, not...

I took these photos with the tripod and self timer and of course 10 seconds doesn't really allow me the time to get a spin on, but you get the point. Maybe someday I will get the technique right but for the moment it's kind of uneven.
