Um. Oops. I guess I haven’t blogged in over a week. Not entirely sure how that happened. I could blame the holidays, but I have blogged during more stressful times than this year’s Christmas. (It was a surprisingly relaxing one for me. I got most of my shopping and knitting done well in advance this [...]

For the second year running, Jen & John of Cake Wrecks are doing a Christmas Charity Countdown – for the days from now until Christmas, they’re sponsoring a charity a day and asking their readers to donate $1 each. One dollar. Twelve days. Good causes. It all adds up. I’m joining them this year, even [...]

And more updates on my goals: I WILL WRITE DAILY. ~ I didn’t write anything yesterday, but have written every other day. Saturdays seem to be my hard day.

So, one of the Secret Christmas Knits was actually a crochet project, and has been given away already. And that means I can post pictures now! These are the snowflakes I crocheted for my knitting friends. I found out that one of them wasn’t going to be in town for the rest of our knit [...]

I’ve also been playing with knitting toys. But I can’t show that off either, because the toys are for someone who reads [...]

I think I have started a new holiday trend. Or tradition. Whichever. Last year, we went to Disneyland during the holiday season for the first time. This year, we went back. (“We” is a different family grouping in each case, but both include me. And the “we” that go next year will include me as [...]

Well, I have now finished both of the remaining pairs of Christmas gift socks. (Except for grafting the last toe. Hush. We won’t count that just now. But as a result of not having grafted those socks, I don’t have a picture of them. They are pretty boring looking – blue kid-sized socks with no [...]
