I thought I’d model my snood. I love the way the lace turned out. It’s not real easy to get on my head and get all my hair tucked in, though. I only used a ribbon to hold it on my head. Maybe I’ll add some elastic to it to make it grip my head […]
I’ve been working on a number of things “knitty” lately, like my spring green skirt, some Soldier Socks, and even more recently, a snood. What is a snood? Well, it’s a lacy hair net type thing. Ladies wore them as long ago as the Renaissance and they are still worn today . My Mom and […]
This is nasty, nasty, nasty! I need to do some deep cleaning up here on the top of my cabinets! (Yes, that’s a REAL dust bunny, and it’s about four inches long! YUCK!)
This whole thing started because of the “Let’s Get Real Monday” Randi has at her blog
I’m ashamed that I […]
Frederick E. Pokorney Jr. Today is the anniversary of his sacrifice to this country. Anyone who knew Fred couldn’t foget him. I went to THS with Fred and always thought he was such a gentleman. He was the best of us all. He will be missed but never forgotten or the sacrifice he made.
“Greater […]
Ta-da! It’s finished! I had to steam block it to get it to quit rolling at the bottom. Next time, I’ll just do a few rows of ribbing instead of the garter stitch the pattern calls for. Now my DD wants me to make one for her. I’ll make it out […]
This is my Fresco so far. This is the blocking stage. I have really enjoyed working with this kind of “ribbon” yarn, it’s so soft and you never ever have to worry about splitting with this because it’s made like shoe laces.
This is what I put together while waiting for my Fresco to […]
I’m talking about the state testing for homeschoolers in my county. We tested for three days and are so glad it’s over!
I am happy to report we had twice the number of children testing this year from last year! I like to see that homeschooling is getting more popular. I love homeschooling, and the […]
Here’s my socks, finally finished! I actually got them done the night of the 13th and will wear ‘em for St. Patrick’s Day. The Wildefoote yarn is very soft, I think I’ll order some more!
PROVERB FOR THE DAY: When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Prov. 11:4
You can make yarn out of any fur and now there’s a place that will take the fur you brush from your housepet, i.e. cat or dog, and spin yarn from it. Some folks have expressed revulsion at this, but I wonder why is it any different to have a cat hair sweater vs. say, […]
Here’s my two hard working students learning the art of cable knitting. I had so much fun with these two ladies! They were a joy to teach, and they’ve asked me to teach them to make a hat and later this summer, a tank top. The tank top I will be making soon to see […]
