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!

Knitting Group
Thursday, 28 April 2005 11:59 P GMT-08
Yesterday's knitting group meeting was fun. It was a very small group - 4 knitters total - and there was time to spend with each knitter, which doesn't always happen. Many are new knitters, as in knitting their first or second project, and that'
Is it a full moon or something?

Today has been so truly strange, unsettling and otherwise unusual that I can't even put it into words. More later, or maybe not.I need a drink, some quality time with a mystery and some sleep.

About a month ago Mr. Ken mentioned that he'd like to listen to audiobooks. Apparently there are some books he'd like to read, but he needs to use reading glasses, and that takes much of the enjoyment out of reading for him.Enter the iPod shuffle:

We're home, and glad of it! The TVR is beautiful (pictures when I unpack enough to find the camera) even in its current condition. Phoenix was much too hot for April - 94 degrees on Saturday! Also, really sprawly and, at least in Scottsdale, wa

You're New Mexico!A fan of spelunking and cliff-dwelling, you're the adventurous, enchanting type. It seems like you can never avoid the sun, but that's what built your house in the first place so you'll manage. You probably speak Spanish, and maybe

Several random thoughts... How much would you pay for a pattern booklet? I want Dale of Norway 109 and there was one on eBay a week or so ago. For some reason, I was willing to bid up to $51 (just to see what would happen, I think) but was I stunned
