Look what I just found.

When I was a kid I used to love the show New Zoo Revue. I also liked Electric Company, The Great Space Coaster, Captain Kangaroo and scores more.

I came across the New Zoo Revue website and found a neat video.

Emmy Jo Learns to Knit

Its a quicktime movie so you'll need that to view it and it takes a bit to load. Be patient.

Also August 6 is my daughter's 14th Birthday. :)

Happy Birthday Carmen!!

A Sad (and too early) Morning

I am awake due to a bad case of acid reflux and found that we had an escape during the night. Ham-Ham has flown the coop. I am currently hopeful that he is curled up and snuggled under the sofa and we'll find him sometime later. (when the kids get up)

Though the cat is looking rather smug. *eek* I don't want to think about that. I'm sure the boy will be devastated when he wakes up and finds out. Please think good thoughts that we find the lil bugger.

On the knitting front. I've cast on Sonnet. I'm throwing caution to the wind. I have no idea if I'll have enough yarn. What I have, the label is gone and all I know is I have a buttload of it. I'm finally almost done with the second sock. Turned the heel and finished the gusset decreases. Still working on the front of the cotton slit front tank. OH..and I cast on for the beaded scarf out of the alpaca. OH MY!! That stuff is soft! Knit on size 5's and seed stittch its going to take me forever to knit the required 17.5 inches before I start the beading. LOL

Please go HERE. Join us!!! It will be fun I promise.

A new fun webring

My friend Kae had a wonderful idea for a webring for fiber lovers.

It is called FiberR.A.O.K. For those who don't know, R.A.O.K stands for "random acts of kindness". Basically you send things to people for really no reason.

We thought it would be a neat idea to link all the fiber arts type bloggers into a R.A.O.K. group.

I made a page for her about it and you can view it HERE. There is a webring with a code you can put on your blog. (see my sidebar for one example) and also a yahoo group where you input your information in a database. The yahoo group is members only and you must be invited. It's also not listed in the yahoogroups.com directory. If you wish to join please email either Kae or I and we'll invite you to the yahoo group and we can get this thing up and running! I think this could be great fun!!

Join us!!

Pardon the dust..I'm remodeling

Getting a new look here at Casa KnitSteph. Hope to have things back in order in a day or so.

I lost all my comments though. *wonders what I did wrong* And for some reason there's huge spaces between my posts. *scratches head*

OK! Now all my comments are showing up on each and every post. Anyone have any ideas??? (comments are now fixed) Still can't figure out the extra spaces thing. Theres something up between the top spacing between the image and the spacing between each post. I have got it reduced about as much as possible.

But I'm really liking the new look so far!

A little brain storming

I have been thinking about the shawl. I don't like the fringe much either.

I drew up a little idea in Paint. (I suck at drawing)
