http://gaea-creations.com/blog Creating a World of Knitting Sat, 14 Jun 2008 23:59:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Remember how excited George was at the beginning of Stewart Little? He knew this was the day he was getting a new brother. I felt exactly like that when I woke up this morning. Except I'm not getting a new brother. I'm getting socks! That's right! SOCKS!  Seven glorious pairs of ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2008/06/14/its-today-its-today-its-today-its-today/ Wow, it's been ages since I last posted. I won't bore you with the "life got in the way and here's what I've been doing instead" stuff. I'll just say that I work at my computer, and for the past few months I haven't wanted to spend my free time ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2008/06/12/can-i-remember-how-to-do-this/ Okay, I didn't realize how long it's been since I last posted. Update on the Lacy Swing Top: using a smaller crochet hook for the center sort of helped. A little. But, I'm not too worried about it. It's coming along nicely and should be done before the end of ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/09/12/long-time-no-write/ Yep, I'm crocheting again. But, first, some finished knitted items. I finished Aaron's Wonderful Wallaby some time ago: He loves it. He especially loves that it's "electric blue." I also finished my Tomato, which I blogged pretty extensively about on the River Knits Blog. In case you didn't know, Malabrigo is now my very favorite ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/08/24/crocheting-again/ And what a birthday it was!  It started with breakfast at my parents' house. Biscuits and gravy. Pancakes. Fried potatoes. Mmmmmmmm. Then back home to sit and knit for a while. This afternoon, we returned to Mom and Dad's to drop of the kids so Tim and I could go ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/08/05/happy-birthday-to-me/ Wow! I thought summer was supposed to be relaxing and easy going. Not a care in the world. Right. I've been working quite a bit this summer and, as a result, I don't want to spend my free time in front of the computer. Thus, the huge gap since my ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/07/26/coming-up-for-air/ I know it's been a few weeks since I last posted. I wish I could say I've been spending my time playing on Ravelry. I haven't. I've been busy busy busy. And I'm just posting a quick note to say this: I promise a full post detailing my latest fibery ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/07/21/its-today-its-today-its-today/ So, I received my Ravelry invitation this morning, and I couldn't be happier. Except that now, I can say with great confidence, I'm not going to get a darn thing accomplished for the rest of the day today. Forget work. Forget doing the laundry. I just want to enter my ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/07/03/ravelry/ I've been tagged by Laura to do the Birthday Meme. The rules are: Go to Wikipedia, look up your birthday and post 3 events, 2 birthday and a holiday; then tag 5 people. So, here goes (except I'm not tagging anyone because Laura already tagged everyone I would have tagged). ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/07/02/birthday-meme/ This morning, while Tim was reading a book, Aaron was playing a game, and Victoria was at a friend's house, I finished Clue 1 of Mystery Stole 3. This is what I had after 15 minutes of knitting Friday morning:   And this is what I have now: Obviously, it isn't blocked, so you can't really  see ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2007/07/01/ms3-clue-1-complete/
