Well we heard from the bank on Wednesday and they are going to let us refinance. Let me tell it was a huge relief. It felt like a big weight was lifted. I wanted to cry when I was talking to the guy at the bank but I kept my calm and finshed the conversation. [...]

Non-knitting content, Gasp! Can you imagine!
While I was getting ready for bed last night the TV in our bedroom was on the local PBS station, Wayne likes to watch The Red Green Show on Saturday nights but usually falls asleep before it’s over. He is not a night owl like me. Any way they showed a [...]

My Zig Zag Socks are offically finished. It only took me a month, not because I am a slow knitter but because I set them aside for awhile to do some sewing. I sat down today and decided I was not stopping until they were finished. I am very pleased with how well they turned [...]

Look what I got yesterday in the mail. My NSFY Pal Katie sent me lots of goodies. She went way beyond what was required of her. All we really had to send was a single skein of yarn. One for June and one for July but both times she just spoiled me and sent more. [...]
