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!

According to the talking heads on the TV News, we are all sitting on the edge of our seats, just waiting to see if the Supreme Court will jump in and "save" Terri Schiavo's life. Not me. To my way of thinking, she's been dead for close

I've been working on my projects, and making progress, but the euphoric feeling just isn't there.I think I'm bored, and that's why the projects are not exciting me. They're all great projects, but, with the exception of the socks, only Angelina is

I started swatching the KnitPicks Elegance yarn last night. It's lovely to work with, like "buttah" in fact, and I was really enjoying the process. I was less happy with the end product however, and decided to go down a needle size or 2
Still Life With Yarn
Monday, 7 March 2005 9:23 P GMT-08

March crept in this morning like a fleecy little lamb, the sun was out, the pavement dried off a bit - Spring was in the air. This afternoon, the clouds returned and now it's raining again, and the promise of Spring would seem far off except that t
