I have moved!

To http://socks1956.wordpress.com. Come see me there!

Charley Horse

I woke up in the middle of the night with the most wicked charley horse! I had to get out of bed and walk around the house to get it to uncramp. Unfortunately, it is still very tight this morning. Ever had one of those? They are awful. I looked it up on Webmd.com and found that I have three things that could be contributing to the cramps but I can't change any of them.

Just heard from my daughter, Hannah. She has just found out she has a herniated disc in her back. She is only 26 years old!

We are all falling apart!

Finished

I finished my "Leftover Socks" last night. They look a little wierd, but I think socks can be a little wierd.

I then cast on some socks for Jake. I still have my black sweater and a lace scarf in the works as well. This is the year to knit down the stash! Sweaters up next, Flyingdales by Lisa Lloyd and a zip cardigan for my son Robert.

Summer is coming and I can't wait.

On the needles...

I have three projects going right now. That is pretty normal. I have a black top down cardigan that I am chugging away at. It is on size 2 needles and so is taking a really long time and since it is plain stocking stitch, is really boring. But I need a little black sweater, so maybe it will be done by fall. I am also doing a lace weight scarf and a pair of plain socks out of leftover sock yarn. I have finished one and will post a picture later this weekend.

I find I don't seem to have as much knitting time as I used to. Maybe it's because I want to be outside? Spring makes me want to spend all my time outdoors. I'm sure that's because I've been cooped up inside all winter.

Happy knitting!

March!!!!

It seems that quarterly posting is about all I'm going to do here. I try to be better, but I guess I get so busy with life that I don't have much to say. The world keeps turning and we keep going. All in the family who should be employed, are employed. In this economy, that's great!

We are all semi-well. Just getting over a round of cold and flu and the little guy, Jake, got a MRSA virus. He is on the mend and we are all grateful.

Quarterly report signing off....

Happy New Year!

So much has happened this year! Got my first MAC! My son introduced me to Facebook and Twitter. My whole family was here for Christmas! My husband and I both still have our jobs! We got a kitten...see above. His name is Indy. No we don't like auto racing, we like Indiana Jones!

I have knit alot this past year as well. I didn't even realize how much I knit till I started to look back. Bonus, both my daughters asked to learn how to knit this year as well...

We moved to a new house in November. Check out this picture of our home in the last major snowstorm we had...

It looks like the deeps woods in Maine, but it's just Braintree, MA.

I have high hopes for the new year, despite the dire predictions for the economy and the dismal political decisions that we have made...

Happy New Year to all who read this and to all who don't. May the new year be full of love, light and happiness, peace and joy.

I noticed...

that when I ride the subway to work in the mornings and I take out my knitting people avoid sitting or standing near me until there is just no more room...I don't think it's me because that doesn't happen when I don't knit...

Any ideas?
