Favorite Singing Cowboy Musical: Calamity Jane

Comfort Food

Sunday afternoons like this one are for comfort. Cloudy and gray, it's time to snuggle up with the current knitting project and watch a favorite movie.



Pull out the cookie dough from the freezer.

Get yourself a cuppa.

Put on your coziest socks, pull a quilt over you and you're all set!

It's relaxing time.

(I make this whole nice thing for myself and guess what I end up watching? The Calgary Stampede. Bull riding. Relaxing? As if.)

The Fast Lane

Yup, I've started knitting again.
And as you can see, I am knitting rather fast.

What can I say? Socks fly when you're watching spies. (I Spy, actually. Yeah, that's the show I'm obsessed with at the current moment.)

How to..

...Knit a Suitably Long Ribbed Cuff Without Boring Yourself to Death.


Anyone who has knit socks knows that making the ribbing on the cuff of a sock is an important part of sock making. Not enough ribbing and you've got baggy socks, blech. Here is a step by step how to on making sure you'll have enough ribbing, and get to the end without wanting to stab yourself/knitting/both with dpn.

1. Watch a television show that you have never watched before.
2. Become addicted to said television show (Suggestions: Get Smart, That Girl, I Spy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Hogan's Heroes, MASH, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Miss Marple, All Creatures Great and Small, The Muppet Show, whatever floats your boat.)
3. Knit while watching your new favorite television show NOTE: this helps if the show is suspenseful. so you can knit nervously while watching, like the knitter's equivalent movie popcorn.
4. Enjoy your nice long ribbed cuff!
