Do the elf dance!

I love dancing. My friend the elf is a very talented dancer (Kate calls him Baxter but I call him dancing queen). He gets especially excited this time of year because the holidays are just around the corner. Everyone in the office keeps talking about quick gifts to knit. They have lots of good ideas like coffee cup cozies,… Continue

I just love accessorizing!

When I saw all the Santa hats everyone here in the office knit with our new free pattern, I couldn't resist trying them on. After I picked my favorite, I invited Sheldon, the Fosters,… Continue

We were setting up the new sock KAL . It's really fun, you can get free patterns and show off the socks you've knit. And there are lots of knitters who've made man… Continue

Dear Santa...

I didn't know which mall you're at right now, and sometimes mall security wants Kelley to leave me in the car, so I sat on Judy's lap instead.

I've been very good this year. I hardly ever chased deer and I was very nice to Bob. This year I would like you to bring Mom… Continue

On with the show!

I know it's been awhile since I posted, but my schedule has been packed lately!

Kelley, Tina and I went to Stitches a couple weeks ago, and then last Friday we hit up the Knit and Crochet show in Portland with some of the girls from the office. It's nice getting out of the… Continue

Ready for my closeup...

I've been in Knit Picks catalogs a couple times before, but Mom came up with an idea for the September catalog that I'm super excited about.

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but it did involve a photo shoot with some of our… Continue

Party Animal!

I don't know about you, but I love a good party. A couple weekends ago, while we were in Canda, Mom and Dad and I hosted a birthday pizza party for our friend Luke in a suite we rented at the Ocean Promenade hotel in White Rock. We invited a lot of Australian pro golfers. When I'm the hostess I prefer to hang back and let my guests come to me. See me in Kelley's knitting corner with Ben?

Yes, it's true, the fall yarn is here.

Some of you eagle eyed knitters spotted our stash in my You Tube video so there's no point in keeping it a secret anymore.

Xena TV

This morning Alison video taped my morning routine. Believe it or not, I didn't even have any coffee first, but I did have 4 cheerios for a morning snack. Videos are fun! Have you seen our sock blank video yet? I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you yet, but I've heard Tina and Al… Continue

Officiating over craft night is a big job, but someone's got to do it.

Sometimes I have mixed feelings about craft night. On the one hand, it delays my dinner which is pretty unacceptable, but on the other hand it is fun to hang out with the girls and see what they're working on.

Like this week Karen was working on this mystery quilt. I r… Continue

It was finally sunny enough this weekend for me to indulge in one of my favorite past times- sunbathing on the deck.

Family Ties

I went to Philadelphia last weekend. I got to fly on an airplane. I didn't see the Liberty Bell or eat any Philly cheesesteaks, but I did get to meet my cousins for this first time. I met James, Emily, Michael, and Jeffrey. Hi guys!

AND I got to see my Grandma Muriel ag… Continue

Guilty pleasures.

I got peanut butter this morning. It was quite delicious. Dad's out of town so Mom and I are on our own for a couple of days. I'm taking good care of her. Even if I did let her eat Cocoa Krispies for dinner last night. She's been working hard lately putting… Continue

Hi, I'm back!

Did you miss me?

I think I got back just in the nick of time. Our sister company, Connecting Threads, needed my puzzle prowess to help figure out these two new quilt inspired jigsaw puzzles they just got in stock. I don't like to brag, but I'm great at puzzles. We ha… Continue
