Tuesday Treasure

I’ve been wanting to start a photo-a-week sort of thing hopefully sharing images of things that trigger special memories or are particularly inspiring to me. But I don’t have a particularly wonderful camera and I haven’t really made the attempt to find a lot of inspiration (real life busy-ness and all that). A friend posted [...]

Rice-A-Roni Substitute

If you use this and like it, do let me know. I don’t remember where I got this, to be honest, but I’m adding it to our menu this week. Well, that’s the intention anyway. 2 cups uncooked rice, pref. long-grain 1 Cup broken Vermicelli or angel hair (broken into 1 inch pieces) 1/4 cup [...]

*Crowned*

My kids looked at me in a very concerned freaked out manner when I showed them what my smile looked like when half my face was numb. I can’t wait for it to wear off!

How Long Has It Been?

Funny but I am worrying that it’s been three days since my last post so here I am writing something so I can feel better about keeping up the blog. I am still working on uploading vacation photos to Flickr. That’s been taking a while only because I’ve had a few projects to take care [...]

Ruffles Scarf

ruffles Originally uploaded by Phisch For my sister-in-law, EH, another Christmas gift.

I didn’t mark the pattern, thinking I could easy find [...]

Stripey Scarf and Cinchy Hat

088- Originally uploaded by Phisch These were from an issue of Knitscene (winter 2007?). I’ve been wanting an excuse to make the hat and, for good measure, I decided to do the scarf as well. I love the way the hat fits. I think it’s jaunty and jaunty is all good. Gifted to my SIL, [...]

Lacey Scarf

085- Originally uploaded by Phisch This is Knitty.com‘s Branching Out pattern. I knit it in Elsbeth Lavold 50/50 wool alpaca yarn and I can’t remember the name of it, but the color is Arctic Night and very pretty. I used a small needle, size 6 when it calls for 8 because I used a thinner [...]

Birthday Cowl

Birthday Cowl Originally uploaded by Phisch For my friend, KT, a cowl. I finished it while we were still driving out of Texas. Either I’m fast or Texas is THAT big. I think it’s the latter.
