I should have known this would happen. It’s practically a given. If I’m going to spend a week being under the weather and stuck in the house, then as soon as I feel well, I am going to take myself to the nearest shopping center and do a little damage to my wallet. The more […]

Or, How to Make an Ugly Vest in Four Easy Steps. This is my first knitted garment, and I knew within the first few rows of knitting that I wasn’t really going to like it much. But I pressed on, because I wanted to learn the mechanics of vest-making, do a little experimenting, and use […]

Yesterday was low-key, which is just how I like it for Valentine’s Day. It’s never been one of the “big” holidays for me, and I’d just as soon skip it, were it not for the little people around here. You can’t really ignore holidays when kids are involved. They seem to like having excuses to […]

Have you seen Leslie Friend‘s new hat pattern? It’s called Chunky Knit Beanie, and it seemed to me that it would be a very simple thing to adapt to the loom. And since Eamonn needed a new hat, I gave it shot. Please forgive the photo – most pictures of Eamonn are a blur of […]

I sat down this morning, before doing anything else, and made myself a list of things that I needed or wanted to work on today. You will notice, by what I tackled first, that my priorities are firmly in order. Clearly I always choose to focus on what is most important. Now, now, don’t look […]

Oooooh, boy, it’s cold out there! Four times today, I put on my neckwarmer, followed by my hat, a sweater, a jacket, and shoes. Four times, I trudged outside to wait for a bus or run an errand. Four times, I came back into the house and shed all of that stuff. Except this last […]

I finished my little neckwarmer project. And, wow, was it ever a quick knit! I nearly completed the whole thing while watching TV last night. I should really call this my “Stargate Atlantis Series Finale Scarf” but I think I’ll stick to the simpler “Malabrigo Neckwarmer.” The Details Pattern: Cashmere Neckwarmer by Kim (on Ravelry) […]

Everybody knows I needed another social network in my life, so it shouldn’t come as a suprise that I went and joined Ravelry this week. For the non-yarn-afflicted out there, Ravelry is kind of like Big Database of Yarns, Patterns, and Finished Projects meets Flickr. Members share images of their yarn stash, their works in […]

Today was the last day for a while that I’ll be able to sleep past 7:15. It’s the last day that I’ll be able to sit on the couch with a knitting project, listening to a couple of podcasts, making something for myself without unanswered business email hanging over my head. Tomorrow Neil goes back […]

Two posts from me on New Year’s Eve and then nothing. It’s three days into the new year, and where have I been? Well, see, the beautiful thing about having a husband who works in education is that he generally gets a Christmas break just like the kids do. This translates into long, cozy days […]
