For Week of Few Words. I really lost my focus today. I can’t seem to get the idea of making a particular hat out of my head. All I can think about is the yarn I want to buy, and the fine-gauge loom I’d need to really do it right. I barely managed to tear […]

For Week of Few Words. Things were accomplished today, some of them being: Plus a detour into obsessive-compulsive land, which I will be sure to chat about when we are back to our regularly-schedule Weeks of Many Words. And a hat for the dog – a 15-minute collaborative effort with Eamonn.

Did you think I meant to write LOONY? Well, we’re plenty loony around here, but actually, these last few days we’ve also been plenty LOOMY. While I’ve been cranking out fingerless mitts on my little blue knifty knitter, certain other people have been using the rest of the set as crowns, collars, swords, and chainsaw […]

Neil spent the weekend at Philcon, and while he was there, his hotel room was going largely unused. The boys and I felt obligated not to let that hotel money go to waste, of course, so we took one for the team, packed ourselves up, and drove ninety minutes south on Friday after school. Ninety […]
