http://blog.katydidknits.com Knitting, Crocheting, and Spinning in suburban Maryland Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:46:08 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm sick of having to go through spambot comments to make sure that real ones don't get deleted (and I have caught a few that were mis-filed by Akismet), so I've added a new plugin that I'm hoping will help with it. It does use Javascript and cookies, so ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/23/grah/ And I think you'll all agree with me. So, this weekend was EdFest, preceeded by the Rush concert in PA. We drove up to see Steve and Mindy Thursday afternoon, and then went to the show. It was awesome. I'm not a huge fan - I like them ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/20/we-have-the-best-friends-in-the-world/ Have you seen this yet?  It's absolutely hilarious.  Act 2 is up today, and Act 3 goes up on Saturday.  I just hope I've got an internet connection and can watch it. Why might I not have a connection, you ask?  Because this weekend is EDFEST!  That's right, folks, it's time ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/17/joss-whedon-is-a-genius/ First of all, thank you ALL for your sweet thoughts on yesterday's blog post. It's not something I want to get into publically right now, but those who know me well have pretty much figured out what I was talking about. It's not anything terrible - no divorce ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/16/wip-wednesday-4/ Have you ever wanted something so badly for so long that when life finally reaches a point that you have the opportunity to pursue it, you aren't entirely sure if you really want it, or if wanting it has just become habit at this point?  And it's something that is ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/15/dilemma/ Yes, I'm posting handspun on Handspun Monday again. :) Welcome to update #2 on the Tour de Fleece. I've finished up my first bobbin of the silk hankies, and I plied it last night - only my second attempt at Navajo plying, and I think it went ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/14/dont-fall-off-your-chairs/ Yes, I have been spinning every day since I started the Tour de Fleece. I haven't been taking pictures because, well, it doesn't actually look all that different. It's really, really thin, and I know I'm going to ply it. I just haven't decided if it's going to be ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/09/wip-wednesday-and-tdf-update/ Yup - it delivered yesterday afternoon. (Apologies to the delivery dude who chose a poor position at the moment I snapped the picture...) It fits right where we wanted it, and the base matches the walls nicely, which we were hoping. We started filling it. (That would be Kris trying to wish ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/09/i-has-a-hot-tub/ OK, yeah... it's been way too long since I actually took French to attempt to write a full blog post, so I'll stick with just the title. And why, pray tell, am I titling my blog post in French? Because I've decided to enter the Tour de Fleece!  I'm signing ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/05/bonjour-mes-amis/ ...and I don't dare cross The Siress Yorkie, I guess I really should finally post. Last Thursday night, Carrie, Maryanne and I went into Annapolis to say goodbye to our friend Lizzy. I had the awesome luck to meet her while working backstage at Colonial Players, and she very quickly ... http://blog.katydidknits.com/2008/07/02/since-ive-been-scolded/
