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!

SparkPlug and Stitches West - Post 6

This is SparkPlug. He's our only truly outdoor cat - at least, as we see it. He goes out most mornings and usually stays out all day, and then comes in at night when we call him. He kills gophers for me and mice for the neighbor

Look at the beautiful colors in this Koigu PPPM yarn! <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> I’ve started and frogged any number of shawls and wraps in the past few years. Every year at Stitches I adm

Saturday Morning

Freesias, blooming and smelling divine near the side entrance and driveway. Just because they're cheerful and in full bloom now. It's 9 o'clock on Saturday, and I've been up for hours, and done stuff already.Mr. Ken and fri

Joan and I split a bag of sock yarn from the Yarn Lady*. There were 8 balls, 2 each of 4 colorways, and we each chose our favorites of that bunch. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> I also wanted to try Colinette J

Everybody's Irish today
Monday, 17 March 2008 8:16 P GMT-08
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It seems everyone in San Francisco is Irish today. Most people are wearing green of some shade, and the clubs, restaurants and bars are prepared to serve lots of corned beef and cabbage, beer, Guinness and

Sunday Gardening
Sunday, 16 March 2008 7:33 P GMT-08
Today was devoted to gardening. I planted the veggies we bought yesterday and set up the drip hose for them. No cages on the tomatoes yet; they’re such small plants it seems silly to cage them although I’ll do that in the next

It's my birthday - let the celebrating begin!
Saturday, 15 March 2008 5:11 P GMT-08
Today is my birthday (and yes, I've heard "beware the Ides of March" just a few times) and the celebrating is low-key. I don't generally like to be the center of attention, and that extends to my birthday. (Thank you for the

Daylight Savings Time and other Random Things
Wednesday, 12 March 2008 8:44 P GMT-08
It's 9 pm on Wednesday and I'm waiting for my work laptop to boot up and connect remotely so I can work for a couple of hours. Three days into the work week, and I've already logged 33 hours! I'd laugh if I weren't so
What have I done? (knitting stuff, that is!)

This has been going around blog-dom for a while, and certainly fills a need today! Bold for stuff you’ve done, italics for stuff you plan to do one day, and normal for stuff you’re not planning on doing. AfghanI-cordGarter stit

Sore hands are happy hands
Sunday, 2 March 2008 9:14 P GMT-08
It's been a beautiful spring-like weekend. Today was sunny and the high was in the high 60s or low 70s. I put on headphones and listened to Cactus League baseball while weeding part of the front rose beds. When the game was over

Procrastination can be a good thing
Saturday, 1 March 2008 8:36 P GMT-08
There's a big shopping bag in the closet in my sewing / knitting / library / guest room. It's full of projects gone wrong: the shawl that's too heavy and too big, the sweater that proved once and for all that bulky yarn doesn&
