Figuring Stuffs Out

Posted on March 31, 2007 by Mokihana

My friend Linda is so akamai!  I was so upset about the sleeve of Nolemana’s sweater, and she offered to give me kokua with it.  So I went over her hale and she took a look at it. Continue reading →

Kanikapila (Playing Music Together) From the Frog Pond

Posted on March 29, 2007 by Mokihana

So I’m halfway down on the first sleeve of Nolemana’s sweater.  It’s going really well.  Nice decreases, it’s getting more small like it should.  I worked on it Tuesday morning when I got together with my friends at Hawai‘i Beanz.  So why are the frogs singing so loud? Continue reading →

The Color of Spring

Posted on March 24, 2007 by Mokihana

I love springtime in Oregon.  It comes even though we have an abundance of gray days when it seems like all color has disappeared forever.  Suddenly, daffodils pop up along with the hyacinths, trees begin blooming and the gray is overwhelmed by color. Continue reading →

He Loves Them! They Fit!

Posted on March 23, 2007 by Mokihana

The suspense is over!  I gave the socks to Raymond Wednesday night, after reading him what I’d posted on my last blog entry.  I knew I’d be nervous and would forget what I really wanted to say if I didn’t read it.  Continue reading →

The Worship Socks Are Pau!

Posted on March 20, 2007 by Mokihana

Today I took photos of the worship socks, which I just finished yesterday.  Nolemana helped me make a couple of basic sock blockers, and I took photos of the socks amid the blossoms of my redbud tree that stands right outside my office. Continue reading →

Da Stuffs in My Fridge

Posted on March 17, 2007 by Mokihana

Last Saturday, I drove down to another writing workshop in Mt. Angel, Oregon, at the Shalom Prayer Center.  It was wonderful!  Pat Love, the instructor, gave us a lot of wonderful writing prompts, and asked thought-provoking questions in order to encourage us to think about those small things in our lives that we could use as fuel for our writing.

I am in the final stretch on the worship socks, and halfway through the toe decreases on the first sock.  I am really happy with the way they’re looking. Continue reading →

Silence In The Frog Pond

Posted on March 6, 2007 by Mokihana

Sunday night I was showing Nolemana’s unfinished…(in pidgin, would that be unpau? hehehe) sweater to my friends; Linda said she would really put the sleeves and lower edge on waste yarn and try it on Nolemana before I knit any further. She thought it was going to be too small.  Instant panic.  Has my vision been all hamajang [mixed up] and I’ve been seeing a too-small sweater as big enough to fit him?  Have I been spending hours knitting all for nothing?

A couple of years ago, this wahine, Sherrie, brought over her alpaca named Mocha, hoping to lure our llamas, who needed shearing, down to the barn.  Sherrie was going to do the shearing, but the llamas no like get sheared.  But in the meantime, we got to see her kewt, kewt alpaca, named Mocha.
