And other remarks about still being alive...

So, since the last time I posted...

My A1C was taken at the end of September... it was down to 5.9
Which is phenomenal. That's what's considered at the high end of normal. If I wasn't getting there with medication that's grounds to cut medication back. And, my doctor and I will discuss that idea in ( Read more... )

I bought myself Clover's Bamboo Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set when it's price dropped to 50 percent of retail on Tuesday from Amazon.

Y'all, I've resisted buying myself this set of needles for over two years. Half price, plus Dad's having Amazon Prime... so Free Two Day shipping, was too much to resist. Yes, I totally used Dad's account to ( Read more... )

And it's colder now that it was in Winter.

No, really, it's colder now that it's officially Spring, that it was in the final week(s) of Winter. Wacky, wacky, California weather at its finest.

I haven't been very prolific with hand-crafting so far this year, but I did manage to knit a baby hat in an afternoon. It was the 10 cable version of this ( Read more... )

And that means I've been away from the on-line journaling world for almost a month ( Read more... )

That's been my word of the month here in February. No, really it has.

Huh, There's four holidays in a single weekend (February 12th-15th): Lincoln's B-day on Friday, St. Valentine's and Lunar (Chinese) New Year on Sunday, and Monday was President's Day. There must've been some people whom planned extremely romantic events on Sunday, since a ( Read more... )

So, I've finally managed to edit the pictures of the hat I finished about a week ago (okay, Monday). And I'm posting them for y'all to see my ability at adapting a pattern.

Funniest thing? I could wear the one I knit for The Monkey (and adafrog yours goes in the mail on Monday), so even my niece with the "extremely large melon" (to quote her Momma) ( Read more... )
