Winter…. Blech….
I came out to inches of fresh snow this morning (on top of the snow that was there yesterday), and FRIGID temps (-1 fahrenheit with windchill), and then I got onto my second train and it wasn’t heated (brrr…), and then I had to wait for 15 min. for a bus as all the traffic […]
Beautiful Beyond Words
This, my friends, is my new love. I’ve been carrying it around with me so I can pull it out and pet it. I’ve been showing it to strangers! This is my very best handspun yarn. For those curious, it is Spunky Eclectic Almost Solid BFL Roving in the Red Maple color. I
Ketchup Catch Up
I have a lot to show you, but the sun just barely came out (and blinded me through my VERY west-facing window) so I haven’t been able to take any good pictures. I spun my very best yarn this weekend (a whole 1.5 ounces of fingering weight! And another 2.5 ounces to go) and I […]
Giving Thanks by Gorging on Pie
Isela sent me a link to Anny’s blog where Anny registers her surprise at finding that her blog is reviewed in Vogue’s Knit Simple Holiday Issue. HOLY CRAP! I’m in there too! Go read Anny’s post to see the picture (don’t want to swipe it). I may have to go buy a copy! It’s been […]
Stupid Sock Creature & Brother socks Fini!
Just a couple of FO’s to show you, only one of which is knitted. Her name is Genevieve. Her bottom half is one of those cheap gloves that you buy in grocery stores. I cut the fingers all off evenly, then folded the palm in half so that the thumb was in the center of […]
It's 7 am. Do you know where your yarn is?
Clearly, I am an addict. It’s not even 7:00 am on a SUNDAY and I have just put in an order for $60 worth of sock yarn. 🙂 The Loopy Ewe got a ton of new yarn in and Sheri sent an e-mail out. As soon as I saw the e-mail I was adding new […]
Icarus done (again)
This may be my second Icarus, but it’s really like finishing it for the first time. It was a completely different experience knitting it the second time around! This time around I just got to follow the pattern (and find the mistakes that were printed in it. I’ll tell you about that in a bit), […]
I almost posted this entry pictureless…
…. but then I realized that my title combined with a peek at my current knitting would be a pretty funny picture (or maybe that’s just me), so it’s no longer a pictureless post. I don’t think I told you, but The Plan was to stop the insanity of Christmas crafting and just buy books […]
Haberdashary and Chocolate: or why I love Europe and want to expatriate.
I cannot express my delight at reading Jane’s post this morning about Haberdashery. The picture she paints of the domestic life where one’s major concern of the day is to find the right “knicker elastic” (I love British terminology for stuff!) or the right color of darning thread is so appealing to me! I think […]
