Dog Days
It’s been a while since I last updated you all on Dad. He was able to go home in early October (nearly a month after the surgery). Last week, he had trouble breathing and the doctors found fluid around his lungs, so he was re-admitted to the hospital for treatment. He’s still at the hospital as he is currently struggling with nausea and loss of appetite, but hopes to be able to leave soon.
Since September, I’ve been working on two projects, but haven’t blogged about them. One of them is a test-knit I volunteered to do: Polarbears’ Cables and Colors baby set. more »
Aberration
I’ve been struggling with a lack of focus. I can’t concentrate on my current projects. I desperately want to cast on something new, or even worse, buy new yarn. (It’s that time of the year, when fall catalogs full of beautiful, warm sweater designs and accompanying richly colored yarns arrive in my mailbox; it’s only natural to want to stock up ahead of the coming winter. Help!) My thoughts and habits are scattered all over the place. My project monogamy and singlemindedness of the past 9 months have completely dissolved.
I sort of fell off the wagon. How much is “sort of?” more »
Poodle Army
I don’t know about you, but I’d be a bit intimidated if I walked into a house or bathroom filled with these things.

(I wonder if I still have the pink poodle soap and toilet paper holders from my childhood somewhere in storage…)
