Skating Along on Veste Croisée

Posted in knitting, other stuff, projects, tagged on October 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Things are skating along on La Droguerie’s Veste Croisée and I finished the back last night and it looks good.  Unfortunately, the picture doesn’t look good, I missed the light today and had to use a flash. I guess it’s getting to be that time of year for bad light.
Knitting at a skating competition isn’t [...]

Meaning that my husband took our son out for their monthly evening out to: Red Robin and Apple Store to play with any devices our son can get his hands on. And that would mean that I take myself out to dinner. Usually Japanese. Probably with raw fish in it. [...]

Raid on Antibes*

Finally got my Mac back after the techs at Apple had their hands on it for some warranty work, and now I can access my pictures from the trip to Europe.
My knitting traveling companions were Bird’s Eye Shawl and Kusha Kusha Scarf, which I cast on for during the trip. I worked on Bird’s [...]

Some things I puzzled over while in Europe

Posted in complaint department, other stuff, travel on October 8, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Back on home turf now, I am reflecting on the trip.  Bear with me and allow me to blather on.
I never could figure out what the typical work day was like.  I mean, it seemed that morning rush hour was about 7:00-9:00, and then everything shuts down for about 2-3 hours in the middle of [...]

Lunch in Paris

Posted in knitting, restaurants, travel on October 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »

We are in Paris: ate lunch at Au Pied de Cochon (www.pieddecochon.com). I had mussels prepared Provençal style and they were amazing! They gave us these cute little meringue piggies after creme brûlée for dessert; it’s the only picture of our lunch, since we were such little piggies.

Went to La Droguerie before lunch (it’s right around [...]
