http://gaea-creations.com/blog Creating a World of Knitting Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:41:04 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yes, I know I haven't posted in ages. Well...ages and ages and ages. I promise to try to do better. Really. I'm not going to try to get totally caught up in this post. That would be impossible. But, I'll touch on the important things.   First: I finally finished the Denmark ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2009/04/09/the-best-thing-ever/ Pattern: Hyrna Herborgar from Three-Cornered and Long Shawls Yarn: Hunt Valley Cashmere lace weight Needles: Size 4 rosewood 24" circular Started: 8/8/08 at 8 pm Finished: 8/15/08 at 5 pm This shawl was really fun to knit. It went a lot faster than I thought it would. It's a birthday gift for my mom, but ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2008/08/15/ravelympics-completed-project/ This morning, I did something that I've been looking forward to for weeks. I put both my children on a bus and sent them to school. As a first grader, this is Aaron's first time going to school all day. He's been excited about it all summer! What a milestone. ... http://gaea-creations.com/blog/2008/08/12/freedom/ 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/
