Anchors Away!

Listen to Episode 30 Here!

Happy One Year Podiversary to us!!  Can't believe it's been a year.

I hope you have a chance to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory someday if you haven't already.  The half mezzithra cheese and half mushroom sauce is my FAVORITE!!

A few of our brood of chickens.  Notice little white Duke in the back.  So cute!

And here's Edie 2 aka Stripe, the talking hen.







Sock Summit 2011 was ALL that everyone said it would be!!  If there is another one, you MUST try to attend.  Here are pics of two of my highlights.

With Peggy Stuart and family...

With Judith McKenzie (such a thrill)
And with Stephanie Pearl McPhee

Yes, Rick really did win best of show with the motorcycle he built and yes, that is Steven Tyler sitting on it.

Check out the beautiful and functional products at Slipped Stitch Studios.  I just love her things, especially the pattern keeper.  Check them out!!

I'll be starting a Bible study in my home using the book Biblical Bits for Knit Wits.  If you're interested in the Bible and Knitting, visit the website and look it over.  Looks interesting.

IN OUR WINEGLASS:

H.M.S. Rattlesnake Red Table Wine 2009 with a hint of hickory and if you close your eyes and click your heels together three times, you can almost taste bacon.  Not so easy to find but I was able to find it on this website.

ON MY NEEDLES:

Goodale Sweater - such a pleasure to knit and SO quick!!

Stephen West Mystery Shawl KAL "Earth & Sky"
And I have cast on for the Tea Leaves Cardigan in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in the Forrest Heather colorway.
