FRIDAY
5:30 – Walk in to apartment to find boyfriend painting the headpiece for his costume. Look at your own costume, hanging on the coat rack, and realize that no work has been done on it today. Begin to panic. Talk self out of panic by reminding yourself that boyfriend also has an [...]
Halloween is hurtling towards us like a truck full of pumpkins.
Okay, this truck was hurtling away from me, but still…this is just too cool. Yes, I took the picture while I was driving (bad me!). Then it occurred to me that those pumpkins didn’t look too secure, so I got out from behind [...]
First, a bit of background.
My favorite part of receiving presents is trying to guess what I’m getting before I get it. This involves snooping through random receipts, looking in hiding places all over the house, and carefully inspecting wrapped gifts in an effort to guess what might be inside. My intent really isn’t [...]
Good lord! So late with the post!
Sorry, kids…work’s been kicking my ass today. Funny…it’s like they expected me to…I don’t know…work. How dare they?!
So, I’m going to try to whip this out real fast before I go home.
Wanna see my Halloween costume?
Yeah, we’ve got a lot of work to do. So [...]
First and foremost…
Dear Person who came to my website by searching for silicon sex dolls;
I am sorry that you (undoubtedly) did not find what you were looking for. I would suggest some more likely sites for you, but I’m currently at work, and while I don’t much care for my job, I’d like to [...]
No…wait. Correction. What a Saturday.
First, The Baby Shower of Doom.
I’ve been debating with myself about how much detail I want to go into here. It’s a very complex series of events that led to The Baby Shower of Doom. I think I’m going to try touch on the highlights and let [...]
Mmm-hmm….
Eight stripes and counting. This one seems to be going much slower than the first…I suspect it’s mostly because of the baby flurry last week, plus the incredible stupidity of knitting two big stockinette tubes in a row.
At night I dream of lace and cables. I practice yarn-overs and knit-2-togethers on scrap yarn, [...]
May I speak to you of something a bit…indelicate?
Namely…
yarnbarf.
Perhaps you have another name for it. But around here, we call it yarnbarf, because when it happens I am reminded of nothing so much as my ball of yarn having just upchucked.
It occurs when, rather than slipping nice and evenly from the bowels of a [...]
Yep. There it is. Riveting, ain’t it?
I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to knitting something else. If nothing else, I need something to talk about other than going knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit in an endless loop.
So, in an effort to appease the blog, despite the absolute lack of anything of interest, knitting [...]
When knitting and geekdom collide: Mark Newport, and a short biography on him here.
Wow. Superhero, indeed. That’s a lot of stockinette. Make me feel bad for complaining about the scarves.
I know I’m the odd woman out here, but I’m discovering that I don’t like to have multiple projects on the needles at [...]
