where did december go

I can't believe I'm getting sick. A week before Christmas and I have a sore throat. Some child is missing some germs. I'm determined to not be sick when we go out of town this year. Luckily we don't leave until the Friday after Christmas so maybe ...

The knitting front is going slowly. I have finished one baby hat and am nearly finished with the second for the knitting club at school. I have let the snowdrop table runner sit by idly. I will pick it up next weekend when school is over.

That's all for now.

Still Not Enough Time

Well, I've made it back to post again. This is low on the list of things to do, but high on the list of challenges. I have finally established a google account and can now post again.

I am continuing to work on a table runner. I'm using Grace by Paton and the Snowdrop Lace Face Cloth pattern from the Dishcloth Boutique. I'm very pleased about how it is turning out. However, it's been frustrating because I was one stitch short or two stitches to many every two or three pattern rows (odd numbers of eight row pattern). Finally, driving home from Greenville SC, it came to me. The border stitches are in garter stitch. On the even rows the first/last four rows are in garter... on the pattern rows the first and last five stitches are in garter. I kept trying to make the odd side rows be four stitches as well. Ah, live and learn to count... and read.

It's Me....

Well, I'm frustrated... can't get anything done... and what do I do.. start a blog.

I hope to post regularly and talk about what I'm reading, knitting or thinking. I have all the best intentions, we'll see what develops.
