Back to Knitting!

First, thank you to all the readers that left such nice comments about my sock yarn stash. Someday I hope to show socks out of it all. Second, I can knit again!! My shoulder and arm took their sweet time, but they did unkink and 

72 Hours without Knitting: The Horror!

72 Hours without Knitting: The Horror!

Apparently, Sunday I slept “wrong” at least my left shoulder and arm seem to think so. They have decided that they have been abused and have a compressed ulnar nerve that makes knitting hurt (and everything else that requires an opposable thumb). Therefore, I have

A Yarny Monkey off my Back!

Progress and a Trip to an LYS

I haven’t blogged for the past few days, but I have not been idle. Discriminating viewers will notice that I have changed my blog’s template, and I am still in the midst of fiddling with colors. M, alpha geek that he is, gets so excited
