Green Mountain Mama: November 2008
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 8. Noro scarf is done. 45 stitches wide. 4 balls of noro silk garden. size 7 needles. 1x1 rib, alternating between 2 balls of yarn every two rows. how it turns out is a complete surprise due to the colors of the noro. it's softish and warm, and if the temperature ever drops and real november should ever begin - i imagine i'll wear this a lot. Wednesday, November 5. Exciting advancements in packaging. Amazon is debuting Frustration-free Packaging. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Green Mountain Mama: April 2008
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 13. 8 months, plus or minus. Finally Arisaig. Is finished. I used the same yarn and needles as suggested in the pattern. The only mod was to make the ribbing a little bit longer. I have big arms, so had no problems with my sleeves being too big for my arms. But they were too big for the armholes and I had to rip back 1.5 inches to get my sleeve in there. This was my first seamed sweater. Seaming? Not really that bad. 80" of tie? Thursday, April 10. Never fear. I'm meeting someone on Mon...

Green Mountain Mama: September 2008
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30. George is on my case for a knitted hat of his own. Nevermind the 4,000,000,000 other machine knitted hats he owns - he's specifically requested a hat with snowflakes and a giant pompom. I'm not that comfy with fair isle, having attempted it only once before. What if I hated it? So I decided that first I would knit a pattern that I have wanted to do for a long time, even if it wasn't quite what he requested. Welcome syncopated hat from Interweave Knits Summer 2007.

Green Mountain Mama: December 2008
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31. New Years Eve workout struggles. K had a friend over this afternoon and I was planning to ride the trainer while those guys kept each other entertained. But then I couldn't find the trainer. I thought it was at the shop but eventually, while cleaning up some junk, I found it in a corner and set it up for a ride. This set-up is in our basement which I am actively working on tidying up to make it more conducive for kids/adults. Tuesday, December 30. The temperature was pleasant....

Green Mountain Mama: October 2008
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19. We're getting thick frosts now. Most of the leaves are down and I'm working on cleaning up the perennial beds for the winter. I thought that this pile of frosted vegetation and seed heads in the wheelbarrow was very striking this morning. Saturday, October 18. Last year i was gifted with two skeins of a lovely noro silk garden yarn in a pinkish color. For a year i've been trying to decide what to make of it. Looking at this scarf. Monday, October 13. Thursday, October 2. For those of ...

Green Mountain Mama: February 2009
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 8. Please change your bookmarks to my shiny, new wordpress blog:. Friday's plan called for an hour hike so I headed up to the Stowe Pinnacle trail. I thought that snow conditions would be pretty good for a snowshoe/crampon-less hike, and i was right. there was good traction and a well packed down trail. The weather was warming up a bit, mid-twenties and the sun was even poking through the clouds. Friday, February 6. Wednesday, February 4. This was my view for an hour and a half today....

Sunday, May 4. Treeline Cardigan - not finished yet. I bookmarked the Treeline Cardigan. Eons ago. And it took me eons to clear out my WIP progress and collect the yarn (malabrigo) to get it started. Now that it's begun, it's flying along. Two sleeves are done. The waistband is finished and i've begun the stripes of the body. really having fun with some fast knitting for a change.

Green Mountain Mama: January 2009
http://greenmountainmama.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30. Cross ride 1.30.09. January 30, 2009. I launched my ride (once the temp hit it's high point for the day) from my gym down the street. We have a shower and changing room at work, but i'm just not that keen to have all my co-workers gawking at me as i clump out to go for a ride. i'd rather have strangers gawking at the oddball going out to ride a bike. . Sunday, January 25. Above is the starting group. There were about 60 riders headed up, only 5 of them were women including myself.
