I’m a wikipedia junkie… I have it as a shortcut bookmark on my firefox toolbar. Is there some sort of 12-step recovery for us? Comic is from xkcd.com, link via Wil Wheaton.

Boudica Socks
Finally I can show you some knitting! I have finished the socks for Anne and they are SO lovely! May I present Boudica Socks. These socks are named after Boudica, the rebel Celtic queen who fought the Roman Empire after they refused her daughters’ claim to the throne of the Iceni people. A Celtic knotwork-inspired […]
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 […]
More In Depth on Codes of Conduct
In another note on yesterday’s topic of a blog code of conduct: There is something that really bothers me about the “It’s my party and if you don’t like it, leave” thing. To some extent I agree. If you don’t like my knitting, my designs, my voice, you don’t HAVE to read my blog. No […]
Blogging Codes of Conduct
Heather linked to an article on proposed codes of conduct for bloggers and it got me thinking. There have been quite a few incidents of flaming and bad manners on knitting blogs, but still we seem to be a bit above the fray. Tensions and voices don’t run quite as high when we talk about […]
*snarls at the world*
It’s sort of an old picture… but this is how I feel at the moment. There are a bunch of things that are stressing me out (some I can’t talk about), and I’m exhausted and I haven’t paid rent yet because I can’t remember that I need to pay it long enough to write the […]
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 […]
Wow… just…. Wow
you should all go read this post RIGHT NOW. Go… seriously…. it will change your life. Then come back here and discuss.
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 […]
The shop is non-functional at the moment
Hi all, the shop is having some trouble… it’s a matter of a misintallation of the ZenCart upgrade. Totally my fault. But the shop is taking payment, but not taking orders. Everyone who has purchased something and not received an order has been refunded until I get it fixed, but for now, please don’t purchase […]
