I’ve been sending Gregor to Lunch Bunch a lot recently a, because he likes it and b, because the difference between picking him up at 11.15 (stop what I’m doing at 10.45, probably get dressed, and make sure I’m ready to leave just after 11) is hugely different from picking him up at 1. Every… Continue reading Time Enough At Last

Global Silliness
So, my friend Carol went to Thailand and Cambodia for Christmas and New Year (as you do). We’ve been keeping in touch by email, but this morning she caught me on GoogleTalk and we’re chatting in real time. She sent me a link to the guest house she is typing from, so that I could… Continue reading Global Silliness
Temptation
Ooo, I have a pullover and a sock on the go, neither of them small projects, really, but neither of them in the first flush, either. Both are about 3/4s finished, so naturally I’m looking around for a sexy new love. And I think I’ve found it. I’m sitting here trying to resist winding into… Continue reading Temptation
Tension
I’m going through a trying time. In short, I’m having my second miscarriage in five months. But I have two lovely children, I have faith, I have friends and I have people who love me, so it’s all better than it could be. But the other weapon in my arsenal, against the monsters lurking in… Continue reading Tension
Now On WordPress
This poor homeless little blog has been wandering around for years now, from Livejournal to Blogger and back to LJ, for want of anything better. But in a fit of widget-envy, I have moved to WordPress and will be trying it out for a while. I never could find the comments people left on Blogger… Continue reading Now On WordPress
Themed Part I
posted in her journal explanations of some of her ‘interests, listed in the LJ profile and said she’d tag other people. I responded but was too lame to check that I had any interests listed, so she had to do a little more research than she had planned (but that’s OK. It’s what she does.)… Continue reading Themed Part I
Adding Converts
I did it. It was my first time. I feel like a real grown-up knitter now. I taught my friend to knit. It totally did not push it. She came over (from the other side of the country, no less) and more or less instantly demanded that I teach her to knit. So I did.… Continue reading Adding Converts
Don’t Take Away My Yarn!
A quote that made me laugh, from a fellow knit-blogger, who is having a hard time going back to work after the latest baby. “As I was having that good cry, though, my husband put things in perspective–‘We could probably live on my salary you know…we’d have to give up some things…books, movies, braces for… Continue reading Don’t Take Away My Yarn!

I Can Knit ANYTHING
I think my knitting obsession is getting noticed. I made a website for my three-year-old, featuring his favourite cars from a Hot Wheels movie (oh yes, they make movies). He was touched that I had made it especially for him. To demonstrate this, as he was looking through it, he said in awe and wonder,… Continue reading I Can Knit ANYTHING
