Interests: "Reading" books on my iPod, while spinning or knitting. I am particularly interested in challenging myself to learn historically correct knitting techniques/styles, and in spinning all sorts of fibers, in different techniques. I've a nice stash of rare and endangered sheep breed wool.

The bamboo version I saw had such fabulous stitch definition, sheen, drape and stayed on my shoulders well. It SO outshone my cobweb version I trust it will reinstill joy in knitting this instead of being the slog trying to compensate for stitches defying gravity and hopping up above the stitches I am interested in knitting.... I should be well acquainted with the center, first two charts and the first portion of the third chart by the time this project it done! LOL

The Wedding Shawl Saga
After a long hiatus from blogging, I have come to the realization that I miss the connection, details and inspiration I got from my fellow bloggers. While FB and Ravelry fill a social need, the details and excitement/inspiration I got from bloggers about yarn, patterns, projects and fiber tool...
Agreed! I haven't really used it for about a year, and it seems so much easier to me now than it did at that time. I like that it doesn't get crumped, chewed by puppy's who steal, damaged by my tea dribbles, etc. And I have multiple row counters, can highlight where I am, etc. This app is one which will keep me using my iPad over all other tablets!

Knitters' Companion - an iPad Knitter's Best Friend
So, having tech savvy kids, and a computer science major son, I am pretty well set for tech knowledge. My computer science son is my personal IT guy - whatever issue I have (Mac or PC, personal computer or work), he is my go-to-guy. I am a MAC fan. I am on at least my third generation of iPho...
It feels good to be back and to be thinking more consciously about a post than just a line or two in social media. Good to hear from you!

Samson Is (Still) Growing
OK. I've been remiss in my dog owner duties of posting puppy pics here. But, then I've generally been remiss about my blog this year. (I've had a lot on my plate, and don't want to bore you about them, or whine about these things). Samson is growing. I mean REALLY REALLY growing. We caref...
I am wondering if the closeness of color value is part of what is making the stripes disappear.... I kind of like how subtle they are, and I suspect that from a distance they are more obvious.

You Can Learn A Lot From A Swatch
Not all of which what you expected. So, what happened with the Koigu swatch? I cast on with excitement, intending to knit a square with one color of the Koigu and get all the stitch and row information I would need to cast on and make a Tempest for myself. In my anticipation to see the colorw...
I like No. 7, and personally think No. 9 is unreasonable for you to add to this list. When I want to know all the sorts of blues shades out there in the world, I always check your blog!
happy New Year's, Terry. See you at SPA?

Ten On Tuesday
Ten Things You Want To Do in 2009. Is that like a resolution list? Or just stuff I'd like to do. Sort of a bucket list. Or a dream list, things that it would be interesting or fun or great to do, but will probably never happen. Things are flying around in my head and the two things that are...
Have you ever read any of Jasper Fforde's books? I like the mystery/thriller genre, so if that's your bag, let me know & I sort out my favorites I've gotten on Audible.com

Santa left an iPod Nano under the tree for me last year (or this Christmas, however you want to look at it). A BLUE one! I just love Santa. It took me ten days to find the the "just right" protection and belt-clip combintation before I would take it out of the box. No scratches on that bab...
It's rather awesome that the first night of Chanukkah coincided with the winter solstice this year!
