First off, have you seen this new threadless design?! I bought myself a hoodie 🙂 Sheep AND yarn! And I’ve got a PSA from my sister about her friend’s child, Marshall: Marshall is 2 years old. He has PDD–NOS, an autism spectrum disorder. The only thing that can calm him down when he’s agitated is […]

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 […]
Full Mitten Disclosure
Thank God the post office came through and my package from Terri showed up on my doorstep as promised. Terri’s book is wonderful! It chornicals the history and evolution of a specific brand of Norwegian knitting that centers around a town called Selbu, who created a glorious and varied culture of mitten knitting. The book […]
Of Socks and Art and Shawls….
The knitting continues. I’m working on a couple of things right now. The first – which will be discussed in greater detail at a later date – is a pair of socks…welll… actually right now it is ONE sock… or rather… one HALF of one sock. This is a sock for my friend Joey in […]
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 […]

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 […]
Woodchipper
There are guys outside my window stuffing trimmed branches into a woodchipper and all I can think about is the scene from Fargo. It makes me giggle… and I think that may be wrong ….
Voicing my disapproval
I am displeased. Displeased to the point of wanting to strangle someone. Not to death, just until their face turns a lovely purple color. I’ve said it before, but it seems due to be reiterated. The US Postal Service SUCKS. Aside from all the packages to Kerrie that went astray (and her subsequent packages to […]
Messing around
It was time for a theme change, but I’m still messing with it. I want the post column to be wider, but my fumblings in the CSS code didn’t yield results. I’ve got a question in to the theme’s creator, so hopefully can fix that soon. M
Rosewood DPN's for sale
I’ve got something to sell. I bought a set of Colonial Rosewood dpns in US 0 (2.00mm) from The Loopy Ewe, but with the way I hold my needles they were just too flexible to make me comfortable. I think I’ll buy a set in larger sizes that I’ll probably use often, but for the […]
