Friday, January 9, 2015. Still Knitting France Socks 2014. Yes, I'm still knitting them. I left off when it was time to weave the toe (Kitchener Stitch) on the first sock. I found the darning needles, but by that time I wanted to bake a cake and some cookies. Now I'm back to knitting. I finished the first sock and am at the heel of the second. Yes, it's an anklet. The pattern I'm using is the first sock pattern I ever used. It's from Learn to Knit Socks. I know I don't like to knit socks toe up! So many ...

Bona Fide Knitter: February 2013
http://bonafideknitter.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. After a month of microwaving and trying to remember to use the deep, not the wide, cereal bowl for my one-portion size to prevent an oatmealy mess in the microwave when the timer sounded, I thought there must be such a thing as an electric oatmeal cooker. Voila! The rice cooker, my new love. When I Googled "oatmeal cooker" and was led to rice cookers I went to Amazon.com where I also found this book:. I bought it as a Valentine's Day gift to myself, My Funny Valentine. A...

Wednesday, December 25, 2013. I hope your day was wonderful, full of the spirit, family, friends and whatever you love. My day was nice and perfectly suited to me. I cooked a full turkey dinner with all the usual accrutremonts, served two plates with dessert and champagne on the side and it was lovely. The high point of my Christmas gifts was my Christmas Eve Box. Remember, I mentioned it before? I also made a box for the spouse. Here they are:. Then a one year subscription to Esquire magazine. There are...

Monday, September 2, 2013. Yes, I'm still alive and kicking, even if not very high. The last time I posted was Valentine's Day. Note to self: This is not a holiday blog! It's supposed to be a knitting and other things blog- other things because so many things interest me. However, evidently blog writing has not been one of them recently. April 14, 1996 - March 29, 2013. Knitting, my go to for de-stressing, stopped working. I haven't been doing much of that. Even sock knitting has fallen by the wa...I thi...

Thursday, October 31, 2013. Not tricks, not treats, this holiday it's all about knitting, MY knitting! Expert online shopper that I am, I purchased the Berroco Link yarn from Noble Knits. And size 35 knitting needles from Amazon. And orchestrated them to arrive today- both on the same day. Actually, their arriving on the same day was just a lucky coincidence. Amazon was a day late. Noble Knits came sooner than expected. Is about to knit! Labels: Berrocos Link yarn. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Something ...

Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Welcome on in 2014. I'm glad to see you. Last year was so full of trials and tribulations, sickness and sadness for my little family that I was glad to see it end.
