I have a tendency to prefer instant-gratification projects. And so here I am on my second long-term project in as many months, and I find myself dragging, feeling bored and uninspired by the miles of stockinette. There has been grumbling, and a bit of negativity. Ok, a lot of negativity. But this weekend I decided […]

Thanks, Sarah, for suggesting grosgrain ribbon. My sweater no longer falls off of my shoulders, and I was even able to move the button closer to the button band, where it belonged. I machine-sewed the ribbon on. Maybe not the best idea? It doesn’t sit quite right. Still, it’s way better than it was. While […]

It’s been a while since we talked loom-knitting around here. Ever since I got the hang of the needles, my knitting loom collection has been languishing in the basement.

Well, hello there. I’ve been away from the blog for a few days, getting reacquainted with my little blue Knifty Knitter. Why, you may ask, would I do such a thing, when I am perfectly capable of knitting with needles these days? It’s simple. I had a tutorial inside of me, desperate to get out! […]

Remember when I used to post Flickr Favorites on Fridays? Can you believe it’s been almost a year since I did it last? Yep. Long time. I’ve been favoriting photos since then, but I haven’t been sharing them. Last night I set out to make mosaics of everything I haven’t shared since the last time, […]

Ok, so, I’ve been wearing my new Tea Leaves cardigan everywhere, and pretty much every day since I finished it. I realized maybe I was going overboard when I dropped by my parents’ house last week and my mother quipped, “gee, I haven’t seen that sweater before…” Ok, point taken. Heh. So in an effort […]

It’s a yearly tradition for me to go on and on about how much I love the fall, yet here we are in mid-October and I have yet to fill my quota of autumnal gushing. Clearly this must be rectified at once. One look out the window (or several errands out in the car) this […]

We went adventuring this weekend, following Neil to Maryland for CapClave, and then going off on our own with our friend Jenn and her little girls to see a few of the sights of Washington DC. The boys had never been there before, and had never taken a ride on the Metro (or any other […]
