Hello Bobo! Below, Frances the Purple, complete back.  Started the front!

So much has happened in the past 2 months! Several trips for me, some sad, some necessary, some scary, and some just for fun. The most accurate measure of the time that has passed though, is what changes have happened in my house and yard. That, and as always, my knitting! Since we were a little late to the game, we decided to plant vegetables and herbs in pots instead of in the ground. We

There has been quite a bit of knitting going on here, despite the many Knit and Chats where I sat with untouched knitting in my lap! I have finished my February Lady (the green) and have one sleeve left on Lily (the beige) I began Frances (the purple) when Lily's sleeves were giving me a touch of a gauge problem, which I have since solved. I am sure there is something in the air here that

Just a few pictures of what has come to life in the yard since we have moved in. These were taken in mid June, so even more has started blooming since then. Apparently the yard was planned to constantly be in bloom somewhere, so when some die off, others begin. We are so fortunate to have inherited such a well maintained garden. Since it was covered in snow when we purchased the house, we

This is the townhouse that we are living in temporarily. The weather was beautiful that day, high in the 50's. James was in shorts, and he took the dogs out for a long walk.Happy dogs going out for a walk.Less than 24 hours later, this is what it looked like outside.Crazy weather!Since this is supposed to be a knitting blog, I thought it might be nice to show you all a bit of knitting that I

That sounds weird to me...but that's what we did. It was our first trip into Toronto, and we went to visit the One of a Kind Show It was amazing, and put just about any craft/art show I have ever been to to shame!Toronto is a big bustling city, more so than Dallas, probably more along the lines of NYC! We were surprised. The traffic was crazy, and the drivers were aggressive. But Lake

Bobo enjoying the road trip to Canada. Came across this picture in my iPhone. The blue painting tape is to keep the dogs from scratching up the vinyl. Bobo did manage to open the window once by standing on the button.

I was hoping for sunshine today, and it did eventually happen in the afternoon. One last chance to get a picture of our award. Open house today, and we straightened up and cleared out. Gotta clean that front sidewalk.....The dogs are all excited to go for a ride in the car. The first time they were a bit too excited, but after 2 or three times, they have gotten used to the idea.The open house

I know I said I would try to blog more regularly. The trip to Canada was hectic. We went non-stop for 4 days, driving around either looking at houses or touring areas to help us decide where we would like to live. We saw bankers and insurance brokers, drank lots of Tim Horton's coffee or tea, and looked over house listings at night in our hotel room. 5 days seemed more like 3 weeks, but we

It seems more like 2 days ago, and not 14 hours ago. It all started out fine. James had us upgraded to first class (reward coupons), and it was sizing up to be an enjoyable trip. We innocently log on to the travel agent website to double check the departing terminal and gate, and lo and behold it appears we have been booked for 2 different flights this morning! James calls, and it turns out

The last time Mom visited she made a HUGE pot of Halupkies. It literally took the two of us to move the pot from the counter to the stove, and then from the stove to the fridge! They were delicious!

Here is Evelyn Clark's Flower Basket Shawl blocking. I am using the interlocking soft foam tiles that the Yarn Harlot used to block her wedding shawl. They are so easy to use, and can be stored away by taking them apart after you use them. I purchased mine online at SoftTiles, and the cost for a 6' square area with shipping was less than the blocking boards that are usually half the size.More

While I haven't been posting, I have been knitting:This is Evelyn Clark's Flower Basket Shawl. I have just begun repeat #13. I decided that I wanted it to be somewhere between 60 and 90 inches wide, and 12 repeats is around 60, while 17 is around 90. I will probably do 14, and then the edge lace. I should be finished within the next week or so, barring anything unforseen!UPDATE: I have cast
