Knitting on the Rogue River

Wow! It’s been 6 months since my last post! Since registering on Ravelry most of my internet time has been spent there. Which doesn’t help any of my friends and family that aren’t fiber nuts like me and the other folks on Ravelry.com. I’ve changed the look of my blog and will probably work on [...]

This last weekend my youngest daughter, Nicki, got married. It was a wonderful ceremony and all of my children were there. Just wish my mom & dad could have made it too. A picture of all of the kids together can be see here. You can view all of the wedding pictures if you want [...]

I couldn’t be more pleased with the fit of the sweater I finished for hubby. And to prove it here’s a couple of pictures. After 15 months of knitting it’s a relief to have it all come together so nicely. And such a handsome guy to knit for! This pattern wasn’t especially difficult to knit, [...]

Yes, I’m still around. And, yes, I’m still computing. Last September I received a call from my mom that my oldest brother (not older) was in the hospital. While I’m not clear on the details, he either had a heart attack or a diabetic episode, the final outcome was fatal. I did get to see [...]

The hubby has returned! He got hired full time by a local medical clinic so he’s back! I’m so happy! Happy dance! While he was in Eugene he started bike riding again, taking a cruise 2 or 3 times a week. Eugene is such a bike friendly town and he really enjoyed his rides. He enjoyed them so [...]

My step daughter is going to have a baby in August and recently had a baby shower. Which got me to finish the project started months ago.  I had most of the afghan done (machine knitted) and just need to add the edging. Finished just in time for the shower. I made the edging up as [...]

Hubby had to work last weekend so didn’t get to work on the trees in back until this weekend. The two top images were taken after the third picture. The youngest and hubby did a lot of work this weekend to get it cleared out and ready for the man with the chipper. The green [...]

Me and the three youngest.My oldest son, on the left, has enlisted in the army and leaves on Tuesday for boot camp. Doesn’t he look too young? Every mother out there knows what I’m feeling now. They grow up too fast and make decisions that you would have never made for them. Peter, the kids, [...]

Well, I’m back at work and wishing I could have another week to get ready for the new term. There are student workers to train, schedules to finish, websites to update, and who knows what else needs to be done. 3 weeks vacation makes it hard to get back in the groove. The first week [...]

I’m leaving in the morning on a road trip with my friend Sarah! We’re heading to Kansas, me to visit my family and S to visit friends and go to the Winfield Bluegrass Festival. Hopefully I’ll be posting along the way, but most definitely there will be news when I get to Wichita. Much knitting [...]
