Ulysses and WIPS

Meet Ulysses. He’s a monkey that I bought from the Sundance Catalog Outlet in Sugarhouse. I went in to eye their fabulous sweaters and came out with a woolen monkey who was hand spun and hand knitted by women in Kenya. Draped artfully across Ulysses’ shoulder is the body (just minus the border) of The […]

Selbuvotter winners!

I’m a slacker… I did a lot this weekend, and yet I have no pictures for you. It was all progress on this or that, not finishing anything. But I’ll work on getting some pictures tomorrow. For now, let’s choose the winners for the Selbuvotter books! HOLY CRAP! 98 comments!? Giving away books sure brings […]

The world spins on!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I am feeling better than before, although still not anywhere near 100%. As promised, I’m showing you some stuff. Today will be the spinning and tomorrow will be the knitting. I’ve been spinning in my spare time to keep my hands from cramping up and to relax a bit […]

Is that my lung in bloody pieces on the floor?

I am sick, as I was yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. I’ve got some nasty upper respiritory crud that is lingering in my chest and makes coughing an accutely painful experience that I wish never to relive again (and yet seem to every few minutes). So in lieu of […]

Nicknames and Watermelons

yeah… they’re totally unrelated… two random things on my mind that I want to share with you. On Nicknames: I’ve got a lot of nicknames. Hardly anyone actually calls me Miriam. Some in my family still call me Miriam, but mostly everyone calls me “M”. My nieces and nephews call me “Auntie M” (with Aunt […]

HOLY CRAP!

What a weekend! Or rather just Sunday and today. Saturday was pretty tame by comparison. On Sunday morning we packed up to go to my parents’ house for Easter lunch. I am almost done with the first sock for a kit for Anne, but the upcoming bit was tricky, so I figured I would need […]

Mama's got a new pair of shoes!

I promise that I am getting just as sick of photo-less posts as you are. I am knitting, I just can’t show it to you. It’s all contract work or I’ve managed to not take pictures before it disappears. Like the 2 pairs of wee baby socks I made for a friend’s coworker’s new premie […]

Knitting Lessons

*ETA* Took the image down because one of the girls was uncomfortable with it on the internet We’ve had a run of new employees at work, so a whole new generation of worker bees has been exposed to my incessant knitting. Thankfully, some of them were interested in learning instead of just stealing spiteful glances. […]

Gleefull

Is that a word? Did I just make that up? I guess “giddy” might be more appropriate. Or out of my FREAKIN’ GOURD with excitement! Nothing is real until it’s on Amazon.com, right? Well Sensual Knits is up! The Amazon.com Link where you can pre-order if you so desire. Link on Sterling’s Website Two of […]

Demeter Camisole named

Ariann is done, blocked and being worn, but photos will be taken this weekend when I have more time and posted on Monday. My computer at home is dead right now, with its guts all hanging out, awaiting a new motherboard and CPU, so I have no e-mail or internet contact all weekend. But you […]
