FIreman thinks Santa brought him a new tool carrier

(we all know it will have yarn in it soon...shhhhhhhhh)

So the year is ending and I've had some blog thoughts as we turn the proverbial page together:

I'm going to reach 1000 posts this year. Do you smell a contest? Oh I do!

I'm predicting a Gansey sweater success. Santa brought me the Gansey book. Can you guess why I think I can make one? Those of you who read often and know of my woes, will figure it out!

I'm pondering starting a monday morning knit group near my LYS. Im thinking : Knitting at Knine. We could meet at 9a.m......But I don't want to be responsible for the group. Hmmmmmm.

I'm going to need a ton of support when Zach leaves for college in the fall/summer. The whole blog thing could become a blubbering idiot's diary. (WHO SAID THAT? WHo said it already is!)

I'm predicting a complete tendonitis recovery with the possiblity of a steroid scandal .........PRESCRIBED of course.

I am making it a point to take better pictures for the posts in 2009. No more nice knits with a bunch of other stuff on the table around it. (French fries don't count, neither do cokes.......)

2009 is the year of what animal?? I haven't heard yet.

My picket fence is coming down in 2009. My family must accept this. Minnesota sister isnt' sure she can. Neither is mom! If they decide to scrape and paint it in its 25th year, I may reconsider.

I think i"ll be able to stick to black coffee. I cheated on Christmas. I had creamer. Guess what.... who needs it?

THe Cubs, oh the Cubs. If ony Rothschild would resign in 2009. That is my New Years WISH.

:)



I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Our knitting group has a spot on Ravelry and we just link up there when we want to get together, no strain no stress, if I have 2 hours free I say I will be at such and such a place at 2, who can join me, and it goes from there. Very low maintenance unlike picket fences The Koigu is purple shades

Somehow I always think that knitting groups should be self-sustaining, but it seems that one person always ends up doing the planning. Why is that?

Picket fences should also be self-sustaining. LOL

You can cry on our collective shoulders when leaving-for-college time comes! It is a time of great change for you too! We are here for you!

Well Rachel is graduating this year and who knows where she'll be next year. She wants to get a job working in a (cognitive science) research lab for a year or two before starting graduate school. With the economy so bad and research funding terrible because the current administration hasn't understood the need for research and that innovation spurs the economy, she'll be lucky to find a decent position even with amazing credentials (for a kid), so I can empathize. Does he know where he's going yet? How far away will it be?

I just clicked on Grace and took a look at her blog. Grace - I work in Florham Park - sounds like you're right nearby (I live about an hour away though).

Happy new year everyone.

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's their boy.  Insufficient inf

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
