Last week: Take fancy final project photos of Inamara, which involves getting Mr. Q & his photog skills. Use his camera this time, not my phone. I talked to him about it but we never got around to it. Continue working on the new blanket. Finished. I started and restarted (twice) a shawl, and finally … Continue reading The Week September 25 – October 1

The Week September 18-24
Last week: Weave in the ends of Aranami/Imanara (there are lots even though I've been weaving in as I go), and wash & block, then sniff & squish. All done! Choose and start a new knitting project. Will it be a blanket to give away or will it be a shawl to keep? I have … Continue reading The Week September 18-24

Last week: Order from Campus Cookies for Ethan for his birthday Thursday. Eat more of Ky's cake to celebrate in Ethan's absence. Our first birthday apart and his 18th.

All stripes would … Continue reading The Week September 4-10

Last week: Start chewing soft food. I ate Triscuits, my current food obsession, so I'm pretty much back to all-normal food. Hurray! Get Ethan, middle son, ready to go to his first year of college 8/23. He's not ready, physically packing-wise or mentally. We should have let him take a gap year - he's not … Continue reading The Week August 21-27

Last week: Saturday morning I have an appointment to have a cracked tooth pulled and an implant started. This is my first extraction since having my wisdom teeth out years ago and I'm a little nervous, but I'm looking forward to not having a tooth that complains about cool breezes, much less hot or cold … Continue reading The Week August 14-20

Spinning: carry on. I finished spinning and finishing (washing & whacking) all the in-progress stuff, counted yardage and weighed … Continue reading The Week August 7-13
