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 […]
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 […]
Sadly applicable to me.
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I saw my spine….
… in an X-ray today. The whole messed up length of it. I also saw all my other insides including the pathways for air in my lungs. Holy crap! When did X-ray technology get so good! I saw the scoliosis (which looked different than the last time I looked at it… a good 3 or […]
