Chickenlips Knitting: July 2006

http://chickenlipsknitting.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 23, 2006. A series of fortunate events. Now here is a bad photo of the WIP I displayed in my last post. I'm usually not so easily swayed to do something different at a point where it's too late to start over. But I couldn't resist a fellow knitter's suggestion while I was knitting at Lint. My DH said the color change didn't look like an afterthought (17 years of marriage has taught him something! It has been a Hell of a lot of knitting. Posted by Sharon @ 12:19 PM 1 Comments. Yarn A Go Go.

Where I'll ramble on about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness, all of which some knitting may account into. Monday, September 25, 2006. The Challenge.otherwise known as the thrown gauntlet. A couple of posts ago I made mention of the universe throwing down a bit of a gauntlet, and that I had indeed picked it up.this has to do with 'lucky bags' and this is what my lucky bag friend wrote to me:. What do I like? Now to get ready and let the fun begin. Here it is in the dye bath. Sowhat do you think?

The Life and Times of Florence Knitingale: December 2006

http://floknit.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

The Life and Times of Florence Knitingale. Sunday, December 31, 2006. 1 Do your best. 2 Try not to hurt anyone. Or something less polite. But what if instead of doing that, you consider that there is something to be done here learned or taught or saved or helped or whatever? And what if you stop to think that maybe, just maybe, she’s slow because she’s tired? What if she was up all night with a sick baby? What if she’s still half crazy with worry but she can’t afford to stay home? What if that were you?

The String and I: SOAR 2007 - Day one

http://the-string-and-i.blogspot.com/2007/10/soar-2007-day-one.html

The String and I. Where I document my fascination with all things fiber. Spinning, knitting, weaving, felting, and preparing fiber to become something else. Like Deborah Kerr, caught up by Yul Brenner into a consuming passion for something different. Friday, October 12, 2007. SOAR 2007 - Day one. It feels strange to be blogging about SOAR. When I haven't written anything up about OFFF. From last month, but here goes anyway. I've run into Janel. So nice to see people again from last year. Stephanie. And I...

Chickenlips Knitting: Tweets from the abyss

http://chickenlipsknitting.blogspot.com/2011/06/tweets-from-abyss.html

Friday, June 17, 2011. Tweets from the abyss. Just a little riff on Carrie Fisher; a la Postcards From The Edge. My friends, I have to say that 2011 kind of blows so far, and things seemed to have reached the nadir last week. Not that we're guaranteed a thrill a minute or anything, but come on. I do have things to look forward to, like the 2011 Black Sheep Gathering. Which is next week! And of course, the thing that will save the first half of this year, is another chance to see Rush. In concert. We ...

Chickenlips Knitting: Shawl we dance?

http://chickenlipsknitting.blogspot.com/2011/06/shawl-we-dance.html

Thursday, June 30, 2011. Dear friends.I should always re-read these blog posts before I hit "Publish". Last post seems almost freakishly maudlin in retrospect! Things certainly aren't always bad as all that, and I'm sorry to have given that impression. The 2011 Black Sheep Gathering. Has come and gone, and I enjoyed it tremendously. The weather was beautiful, which did much to bring people in, and everyone was. excellent. Case in point: a spinner's wheel unfortunately went missing, which is definitely not.

The Panopticon: My Fellow Americans

http://the-panopticon.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-fellow-americans.html

Monday, February 04, 2008. Hi, it's Dolores. Laura Bush was saying to me the other day, isn't ambition a fickle thing? One minute you're all comfy in your boudoir, leafing through the Vogue. Summer preview and considering whether it would make sense to move the chaise longue a little closer to the liquor cabinet; and the next minute you're tits up on the shag carpet wondering what life's about and why you feel so unfulfilled. Anywhoo, not to get too personal but I was wondering, how do you manage it all?
