Cascading Leaves throw

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.28.2007

I finally finished this afghan for my dad. It’s the Cascading Leaves throw made with Lion Brand Jiffy in grass green.

Mine doesn’t look as nice as the picture on the pattern. :( But it’s for my dad, who won’t notice or care.

Hey at least you can knit... I can't. Crochet, yes.

Wow, it looks great! But since I can't knit or crochet, I like these kind of stuff. :d

that looks great. I would love to be able to knit. I guess I should take some lessons or something. I have visions of me taking a few classes and then being able to knit wonderful things. I'm sure that is not how it works.

Hi Camy-
I was browsing your site and reading the newer blogs (beautiful throw by the way!) and noticed you start your blogs with "Captain's Log..." So I poked around thinking she's got to be a Trek fan and saw you listed Star Trek Voyager on your Myspace page as a fav TV show. I think you just now may be my favorite author!:) Anyone who enjoys Voyager (I just LOOOVE Tom Paris and B'Elanna-I was quite obsessed with that show!) is obviously a wonderful smart person!:)

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies?

If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you.

Mon afghan

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.24.2009 I am extraordinarily proud of this. For Christmas, I wanted to knit something for my parents that would be really cool and personal, and sort of an heirloom. So I took the five family crests I had for my family (in Japanese, a family crest is called a “mon”) and graphed the designs on knitting graph paper so that I could knit intarsia panels of the mons. I knit 5 intarsia panels and 4 plain panels and then sewed them together to make an afghan. In Japan, family crests are carried by both male and female, so I used mons from both my parents' sides. Traditionally, mons are passed down from mother to daughter and from father to son, but there are sometimes cases of a son taking a mother’s mon or a husband taking his wife’s family’s mon and things like that. I know we have more than 5 family crests, but we’ve lost some of them. My mom tried to find them all several years ago, but could only find these five. The fans mon was actually...
