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!

Wednesday, 29 August 2007 7:48 P GMT-08
Today is the first “Spare the Air” day of the summer in the Bay Area. Mass transit options are free (some until 1 pm, others all day) to encourage more and new people to use mass transit. Spare the Air days are declared when t

What a wonderful weekend!
Monday, 27 August 2007 8:59 P GMT-08
This was the best weekend we’ve had in a long time! No knitting projects (or other projects, for that matter) were finished. No major purchases were made. No parties were attended. And yet I’m back at work more relaxed

I'd leave it someplace!No photos again tonight. I did notice, after taking photos at work in daylight, that the camera batteries were getting low. I put the camera aside, so I'd remember to bring it home and charge it, and - you g

My planned - and written - post for tonight was to show off the new projects I've started this week. Unfortunately, it's too dark and cloudy/foggy to take good photos, and it makes no sense to post that without photos. Somehow it

As seen at Fillyjonk's, from the list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, only the ones I've read. At one time in my mis-spent youth, I was married to an English professor whose specialty was 18th and 19th century literatu

The Smartest Thing I've Ever Done
Monday, 13 August 2007 8:52 P GMT-08
Happy Anniversary to Us! Seven years ago on this date I did the smartest thing I’ve ever done: I married Mr. Ken. We’d just been through the hardest year of our lives and our wedding was perfect. And as we danced our first dance,

Just random thoughts, in no particular order...1. I've been waiting patiently (like a lemming) for Ravelry. I checked today, and here's what I found: Found you! You signed up on June 12, 2007You are #8585 on th

A few thoughts at the end of another work week… I’ve been at my new job for 4 months, and the front of the building has been obscured by scaffolding all the way to the roof. Today I almost missed the front door because the scaff

Training Wheels
Sunday, 5 August 2007 11:53 A GMT-08
Apparently I need training wheels. Bicycle riding is something I've enjoyed for years, and I thought I understood the basic idea. You know: feet on the pedals going round and round and all that. Then gears were added into the mix, and

Photos of knitting have been promised for a while, and knitting content was, therefore, implied. I attempt to supply both today. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--> This is the sock I completed knitting over the weekend,

You may remember that I won Sallee’s contest to guess which of her Nana Sadie Rose bags was #500. My prize was a skein of Schaefer Anne yarn (560 yards) in the Renata Tebaldi colorway – black, olive green, shades of red, purples &n
