32 is more than 23

By about two hours.  var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxx-x”);pageTracker._trackPageview(); Remember back when CMelvin intrigued me with the Mmario Mystery Shawl?  I dyed some lovely green merino lace and stash dived for some nice green beads that would go with the suggested…

Interrupted knitting

I’m trying to catch up on some lace knitting this morning because…well life got wonky for a few days (that story later).  var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxx-x”);pageTracker._trackPageview(); Chris just interrupted my deep concentration on the Mmario Mystery Shawl (photos to come…

Quality Control

German Chocolate Cupcakes should be taste tested warm from the oven. By me. var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”)); var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxx-x”);pageTracker._trackPageview(); Because it’s wicked cold outside Christopher has declared today a good day for baking.  No complaints from me.  First up are the cupcakes.…

Buuuuddddyyyy! A hound dog…

Announcing a Winner!

I’ve spent the past little while on Ravelry going back over the patterns submitted by qualified entries (those that shared a link about the contest elsewhere) in the 10shawls2010 contest.  It was tough.  There are some stunning designs out there. If you’re wondering what lace to knit next, any of the projects suggested would make for…

What a Wonderful World

As I begin uploading the photos below into Flickr the Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante classic, What a Wonderful World, was playing.  I truly feel that I live in a wonderful world.  Other people pass along those Fwd: emails that tell you about why we’re supposed to be happy and thankful for your family.  They…
