I’ve been plugging along on my training, working on getting my ‘speed’ up (if you can call it that). This weekend my friend and I did 5K, in preparation for the 10K this weekend. It should be fun, we’re hoping to maintain 15 minute miles although that might be a bit optimistic. Next month I’m…

First, let me give a huge thanks to Elizabeth of Three Olive Martini for her donation *and* for the wonderful shout out on her blog! OK, for all of you out there who are not fiber nuts, but in need of some enticement, I’m going to throw out a few other options for you to…

Well, I had a post all ready to go and my browser took a dive, hmph. Ah well. Second time’s the charm, I guess! Still working hard on my moebius thing, so I’ll take this opportunity to thank those wonderful folks who have already sponsored me for the Revlon Run/Walk. Many thanks to Lu, Michelle…

And now for some non-knitting news… As you may have heard, Revlon is having a 5K run/walk in Los Angeles on May 7th. In fact, you may have seen the mention on JenLa or Michelle’s blog. Yes, I do feel the tiniest bit guilty about copying their idea of mentioning it on their blog. And…

So, I have these two fabulous ‘magical knitting’ books by Cat Bordhi, which describe the moebius method of knitting for cool twisty circular things. I had two moebius projects in mind – a stripy scarfy thing with the Cotton Stria for Susan (finally, something for Susan!) and a fuzzy felted cat bed for my kitty.…

Yes, it’s true. After a 5 day trip to Disneyland and fighting a nasty intestinal bug for 4 days, I managed to finish the socks! Like the Olsen twins, these socks are fraternal twins which look almost identical at first glance. I’m very proud of them, my first pair of socks, and I hope that…

OK, I *did* do the race over the Golden Gate Bridge. The first mile I was totally rocking, 12:30 at the mile marker. Then we went around a corner and looked up at the underbelly of the bridge and said ‘sh*t’. 250 feet up. Man, that sucker is high up. I asked my co-runners if…

Look, I know you’re probably thinking “She’s gotta be done with those socks by now…” Well, uh… um… hey! Look over there! Aren’t those kids adorable? My kids had an open house at their school on Thursday. Here’s my boy pointing out his fabulous reading book (he’s in Kindergarten). He’s not wearing his school uniform…

Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentlemen, one more post on the fascinating topic of *ME* 🙂 Suzie snuck in with one more set of questions for me to answer… 1. What type of buddhist training would you like to do? (Zen? Vipassana? Other?)n Living as I do in the Santa Cruz mountains, very near to…

Well I’ve been an absent blogger because every free minute has been consumed by trying to finish the socks on time. Unfortunately, today is the 15th and the socks didn’t go out. Yet. They’re well underway, though: I hope to finish in a couple of days and then send them off. Yes, I know that…
