Well, life is looking better. As long as you're not concerned with rain, rain, and more rain. Last week in St. Louis is rained and rained. Of course, it is spring it should rain. Guess what's on the menu for this week, rain, rain, and more rain. Sounds like a broken record Huh? Of course there are only 18 more days of school, so all ideas of learning are a challenge for kids. Our principal gives us the pep talk every year to Save the Best for Last. True is theory. However, you could come to school dress only in the paint of the school colors with pom poms as your only learning tool and the kids would still say "I'm bored!!!" Little Darlings that they are. Speaking of total kid with no idea of what is appropriate, the other day my class was working on an activity involving writing a paragraph about ways to keep themselves healthy. I gave the example, I should only eat two cookies instead of all four just because they are there. Now mind you, I am not a Barbie nor w...

What a glorious day it is. I know it has been a long time since my last post, but again KOAS!!! Life happens. First of all jury duty. I had a plan, I had the yarn, the needles, other stuff that is a must for every knitting bag. I was ready - until I read the jury notice. Then, my heart fell. All that deciding and preparing for me to read - no knitting needles . Are you kidding me! Like, who am I planning to stab?! After all, I do have bamboo needles as well as metal. Yes, the metal ones are sharp, but who plans to kill someone with a knitting needle? Any way. Let's see what I have been doing lately. One lonely sock using Sockerette yarn. It is just a fun color and watching what happens is way cool. This was my first attempt at socks. I used a pattern out of Sensational Socks. This is an excellent book. Like most knitters, I do not want to "read" everything. Next, This is the sweater that I started for my daughter before Christmas that of course was suppose to be a gift. I...

The Purling Puppies Web Ring

Jackie Guess why the name OREO? It was a nice day to sit and knit. The evening sky just tells what we St. Louisians are in for. While I was just playing around with my camera and getting things ready for today's post, I got a two pictures out of three of my dogs. Oreo is the little one. The other lovely girl is Jackie. Poor Jackie has to put up with two small puppies. I could not get a picture of our beagle Charlie. But he will be showing his stuff later.

Hi everyone! It's a glorious day outside as long as you like the cold. Well, at least it's Sunny and it's Super Bowl Sunday for those that care. For me its a quiet day for knitting. Currently I have a few things going: a black sweater with a skull design on the sleeve for my daughter, a tote bag for a knit-a-long, and I thought I might try some fingerless gloves and a cabled scarf. I guess you can see why its titled "kaos". I think that I am in the majority when it come to too many ideas and things already on needles or lying in weight to tempt you to start yet another thing.
