Back again…
I didn’t mean to be gone so long again. Neither Archie, my laptop, nor I is having the easiest of summers. We decided to send him to Applecare right after the July 4th holiday weekend. On the second of July, M took me to after-hours …
Knitting! Plus some gardening, cocktails, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
FOs
Lightweight Knitting
Well, I have not been keeping up with my plan to post 4 times a month, but there are extenuating circumstances. I can’t reveal details at this time, but I can say two things. First, there is a very good probability that several months before …
Four Final FOs of 2008
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season filled with peace and good cheer! M and I spent two weeks in Illinois and Wisconsin visiting family and friends. All our flights went smoothly with no delays, and we had a good time. We even got …
Good News-Bad News
Bad News: I turned 45 on Monday the 10th. It’s hard to call that early 40s anymore. Good News: I had a birthday! M took me out for a great dinner at a local Greek restaurant, and I got some great stuff too, like a …
Christmas Socks and Dragonflies

FO: Nelosys
First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who left a comment about Rippy. My family was very touched; many comments brought tears to their eyes. My brother was glad to see that so many other people had had cats live so long and that became …
Sucked into LibraryThing, but still a FO
Last weekend my barcode scanner for entering books into LibraryThing arrived, and I got sucked in. The scary part is that I spent most of Saturday and a good part of Sunday putting our books into my account, and at 822 books, I’m maybe 2/3 …
Twisted Flower Socks–at long last
I keep meaning and wanting to post regularly, and then things get in the way. The past couple of weeks has been a Festival of Migraines! here. Calling it a festival does give it a more upbeat connotation than I actually experienced, but when one …
Overdue FO, a prize, and some good reads
OK, so I suppose getting around to blogging for the FIRST time about a FO I gave to my mother for Mother’s Day (she received it early too) during the first week of August is a bit tardy. But here at Molecular Knitting, I am …
Minimalist Cardigan-Maximal Time
Originally, I planned to have the Minimalist Cardigan done in mid-October after starting in early August. But a lot of things got in the way, so it took me until last Wednesday to finally finish the finishing. I was home alone while M and his …
