For a disentaglement of this deluge of dialogue… click here. When the vagueries of fate and time conspire and collude with the result that you have F-ed your last UFO, and you feel world-weary and ragged having wrung the last vestage (for now) of creativity from your exhausted bones, what alternative might one posess except […]

O is for…..
(I’m skipping N, shuddup) Oak! I grew up in Southern California, with the California Live Oak. As a kid I never knew what everyone was talking about when they said “oak tree”. I didn’t see any oak trees. I saw ACORN trees. Peach trees produce peaches, orange trees produce oranges, almond trees make almonds… so […]
Temporarily MIA
Work is crazy busy, I ran out of bandwidth this weekend but got my limit upped, my site was wonky this morning because I’m installing a secure certificate so that all the info you lovely people enter will be more secure and CERTIFIED more secure, but things are a still a bit unsettled and I’m […]
Brain.Turned.Gooey
It’s been an insanely busy morning, full of crazy work things and the 3 seemingly simple things on my ‘to do today’ list haven’t even been touched. So I think it’s time for blogging! Here’s my random Friday. The shuttle bus driver yesterday almost ran into the barrier in the middle of the road because […]
Much to the pleasure of a certain blogger, I have picked up the Hidcote Garden Shawl again, and she is nearing completion. I finally decided on a way to continue (one that I am happy with at least. I came up with a MILLION ways to continue, including frogging the whole damn thing, but I […]
How to Bead Your Icarus
OK, sorry for the delay, but here it is. How to add beads to your Icarus shawl. Background: I had included beads in each of the edge points in my original design, to add weight and glitz to a simple shawl, but when Interweave Knits told me they wanted to publish it, they nixed the […]
Lightweight Mountain Peaks Shawl WINS!
For those of you looking for the Icarus beading tutorial, I’m sorry it’s not today, but we had new student orientation, and the office sort of exploded, so I haven’t had time to write it up yet, although the pictures are uploaded and everything. I’ll try to write it tonight and post it tomorrow. But […]
Piece of (Strawberry) Cake
I have finished the Crushed Strawberry Socks! They were fun and fairly quick, and honestly, I like the fit other than being too short for me (I decided to make them for the long-range planning department, as I couldn’t fathom knitting something for myself when I see Christmas looming along with all the other stuff […]
The Kindness of Strangers Bloggers
Why is it that knitting bloggers are the best?! I see what kind of e-mail other bloggers get and I cringe and thank God that I get e-mails like I got from Rhonna and Donna (hahah! Rhonna and Donna… it rhymes *snicker*) Rhonna at first e-mailed me to let me know that the upper navigation […]
Apparently I am She-of-the-Messy-Desk…
… and She-Who-Takes-Crappy-Photos. Anyway, these are the socks I’m working on right now. The yarn is stuff that Ms. Stitch-n-Snitch dyed and I purchased. I think the color was called “Crushed Strawberries” but I’m too lazy to go trauling through her archives to find it 😉 But yes, I’m back to knitting for a purpose, […]
