2012 - Week One - Let's Do This I'm starting off 2012 with a positive surge of energy and eagerness because I know this is going to be a great year! This year, although I don't set new year's goals or resolutions, I am looking forward...
Week Fifty - Gifts This week's post is all about gifts. First I'll start with the gift of an amazing husband who cares for me way more than I could ever deserve. This past week, my laptop that I use for doing my job...
Week Fourty Nine - Lessons Learned One of the things I have learned about blogging over the past years, is that the very thing that you most want to write about generally keeps you from writing. That thing is called life. When I get busy,...
Week Thirty - Rabbits Reborn and Sharing the Game of... This week has been a long one. Scott has been in Africa all week and does not get back until Wednesday. Although I have missed him greatly, I have been able to accomplish much with the quiet house...

Here are the first 29 rows of my Civil War Shawl KAL and behind me you can see where I work on it the most. College basketball provides a great block of 3+ hours of knitting time for me. The shawl is growing slowly, stay tuned…
Quit tempting me, woman! I love that shawl- I was actually drooling over it on Ravelry yesterday. I can see that on my needles by the year’s end. Is the pattern insanly hard?
Three days until Friday… yes, I have been counting since SOTSii was announced!
It’s very beautiful in it’s beginning stage. Without you I’d know nothing about lace. I might have to try it after I start my second SOTS, (and maybe finish the first!).
I was just at a college basketball game last week (Duke vs. Temple). There wasn’t enough room to sit comfortably, let alone knit. Now, sitting at home watching the game is another story!
One, that’s going to be lovely…! Don’t sporting events make wonderful places to knit? Especially if the announcers are very good… then you don’t have to look up, even, if you’re at a tricky place.
Two… I was out sick yesterday and missed the first day of SotSII! Yikes! Behind already!! (Of course, I’m *still* not done with SotSI, but someday, I will be!)
Hee-hee, I can only work on lace in a very quiet room. The fact that you are knitting lace in a stadium and in black, no less, gives me hope.
Like I said before — I can’t wait to start on my first clue of the SOTSii. I do think I will tackle the swatch just in case; thanks for your tip. Thanks so much for this KAL — Now I can learn to do some, what I call, REAL lace. I applaud you just like shansays for being able to do lace in such a distractful place. Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog. Have a great weekend.
