Knits With Cats
Knits With Cats
I'm a senior technical project manager at work, a knit project starter at home and a list-maker everywhere! I'm married and have too many cats, lots of books, almost enough rose bushes, and way too much yarn!

It's Raining, It's Pouring
Friday, 30 December 2005 11:20 P GMT-08
This will be a short-but-sweet entry. It's raining like mad right now - 1.5 to 2 inches an hour, and that's expected to continue for the next 8 to 12 hours - and PG&E has warned that large parts of the area may lose power soon. It's a

Hanukkah, Knitting and Rain
Monday, 26 December 2005 4:39 P GMT-08
Today Mr. Ken's office was closed (mine's closed all week) so we ran a couple of errands. We went to Costco - do we know how to have fun or what - for cookie making supplies and then to our favorite hardware store just because.

Knitting Update - FO Alert!!
Wednesday, 14 December 2005 5:05 P GMT-08
I've been slogging along on my knitting, making progress on each project, but nothing really exciting and photogenic. I've been marooned on sleeve island for what-seems-like-forever, but is really only a week with the sleeves from WoolSpun.&nbs

It was an unusually busy weekend for Furball Farm.
Friday night, Mr. Ken had a motorcycle suspension seminar to attend, and I had a "romantic" dinner with my friend Brent. At least that's what the hostess said as she led us to

Last night I took the poor forgotten WoolSpun sweater out and attempted to figure out where to start to finish it. Fortunately, I still like the yarn and the basic design, and the color will always be one of my favorites.

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian
You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
