So this weekend? I bought a printer. A color laser printer. The whole weekend has been sort of overshadowed by it. This probably shows my tendancy to place greater importance on little things, but this printer signifies to me the venture into printing paper patterns. This is scary for one major reason. Money. It means […]

The Silver Lining
So the stickiness all washed out just fine, and the piece is dry now… but I discovered something I didn’t expect. This cashmere gets SO MUCH SOFTER when you wash it! For those of you who have pawed it with me, it’s very hard to believe… but it blooms a bit, and drapes AMAZINGLY and […]
Disaster Strikes!
As I type this, the Cashmere wrap and most of the second skein is hanging to dry in the bathroom. Yesterday evening, at my friend’s house, one of the many strangers there spilled something sticky onto my knitting. I am assuming that it was a stranger because any of the people there who know me […]
Tidying up a bit….
In an effort to clean up things that I just haven’t gotten around to blogging about, here’s my purge! There’s some excitement and some acquisitions and some plain old every day stuff too 🙂 To start off with, I know this happened a long time ago (like… a month ago), but better late than never, […]

I’m only including it because the true color is somewhere between that picture and THIS one. Unfortunately, my desk is not the best lighted place for taking accurate colored photographs. All said […]
Look! Over there!!!
In the first of installments of my “Grand Scheme To Keep You Distracted While Knitting Un-Showable Pieces” – aka GSTKYDWKUSP – aka Operation “Look Over There!”, I now present to you some pictures from the depths of my camera’s digital memory card. This first one, C took. Just a Saturday (or possibly Sunday) sky as […]
SocktoberFest Kickoff!
Since I joined Socktoberfest, I figured it would be good to do the mememememe, eh? Make sure not to miss the last question… I shocked myself with my answer! When did you start making socks? I think my Junior year of high school… I had been knitting for a year or two, crochetting and cross […]
On Pipe Dreams
My lovely, wonderful, good friend Kim (still miss you!) is in the process of posting some really great things about Pipe Dreams and daydreaming in general, and she asked for readers to post their own “pipe dreams”, especially if they could do anything at all for a living with no worry about money, then what […]
The dulcet tones of an Transplanted Valley Girl
Wanna hear what I sound like? The new episode of KnittyD & The City is up, and there’s a phone interview with me! Go here if you want to hear it. And in the future, the link to JUST the phone interview is here *edited to add the correct link*. I just listened to it […]
