Jennie sits and knits: January 2009
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Friday, January 02, 2009. How can this be so hard? I love knitting socks toe-up. It makes so much more sense to my brain. So I started some socks on vacation with the Turkish cast-on, and went up to 52 stitches (dk weight), and knit along on my merry way. About 2.5" short of the heel, I stopped and went searching for a heel method. I really like the heel-flap heel, so I searched around and ended up on Miriam Felton's blog.

Thoughts from the delirious mind: June 2004
http://snarfdog.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts from the delirious mind. Just me and my random and irregular thoughts since April 12th, 2004. Friday, June 11, 2004. New update of relatively old news (now.). Okay,this is in response to those who keep pestering me to update my blog. It will also explain why I haven't updated my blog. Ok, girls crying for food, gotta run again. Posted by snarfdog @ 10:22 PM. Follow me on Twitter. What I amuse myself with. This is a Flickr badge showing public photos from torturedmommy. Make your own badge here.

Jennie sits and knits: Phew, it's done
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2009/07/phew-its-done.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Friday, July 10, 2009. Phew, it's done. Finished the tea cozy (felted, steeked, buttons and i-cord applied) and gave it to Mom for her birthday. She seems genuinely pleased. (I'll post a finished picture of it later.) It is still too large for her teapot, but does look nice, really. (Glad I felted it down! The other projects going on are. In other news, I've worn my Swallowtail nearly every day, as despite the warmer-than-us...

Jennie sits and knits: January 2014
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Friday, January 03, 2014. I have two rules of knitting. Only two. But they are very important, and breaking them results in heartache. And usually, lots of cussing. Don't panic. Think something's wrong? Take a moment, breathe, maybe put it away for 5 mins or a day or a month. Then come back and reevaluate. Very often, this has helped me avoid ripping- or forgetting this rule has caused massive rippage. We Call Them Pirates.

Jennie sits and knits: I love kid socks
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-love-kid-socks.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Friday, April 23, 2010. I love kid socks. G's first sock, done. Originally uploaded by RenaissanceWomn. The yarn is from my friend Rabbitch. Much for the rest of the toe (or heel). Delurking to tell you the I love the poker-chip idea. I was doing it with a quarter that I had painted on with nailpolish, but it would often get snagged up and shoved in the change jar when I wasnt looking! Your kid socks look adorable. That does...

Jennie sits and knits: January 2012
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. I haven't blogged for quite some time, but felt the need to write down what's going on in my life. I'm aiming my life toward being more active and eating better. My former therapist once said, "I don't make resolutions; I make decisions." Last year, I decided my watchword of 2011 would be Simplify. DDR Ultimate Dance Party 2. I also got hooked into the 100 Days of Real Food. Sunday- make white brea...

Jennie sits and knits: December 2008
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. I haven't had much to post here lately, since I've been working on the same sweater since- I won't even look it up- about April, and messed it up more times than I can tell. But I have done some things. I started and finished a cute little stocking ornament for an ornament exchange on my April 2000 Playgroup bulletin board (we were in an Expecting Club when we were all due in April):. No mean feat...

Jennie sits and knits: Another FO!
http://jenniesitsandknits.blogspot.com/2007/01/another-fo.html
Jennie sits and knits. A journal of my knitting trials and triumphs, and dreams. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Update: now with photos! I finished one of the remaining 6 UFOs (that I can think of) on my list. It's another Magic Scarf, to replace my black one that disappeared in December. (boo hoo! I had bought some soft, fluffy brown eyelash yarn when Yarn! This yarn is a lot heavier than the NY Yarns Fluff yarn I'd been using for the other ones. It feels a bit like a beaver pelt!
