So Bradon and I ran ourselves ragged the other day, trying to find him some new work clothes. He is, you may have noticed, a big guy, so finding shirts that fit (especially with his crazy-long torso) is a bit of a challenge. Being a somewhat atypical woman, I really don’t enjoy clothes [...]
Bradon and I finally got around to using the Stiffy…on the bookmarks. Sheesh…get your mind out of the gutter.
Lesson #1: Do not allow Stiffied knitting to dry on cardboard. The glue-like substance will STICK TO THE CARDBOARD. (I amaze myself sometimes. Even more amazing is that I looked at the bookmarks [...]
Three years ago yesterday I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and jumped blindly into the abyss. I left behind everything I thought I wanted, everything I knew, and went against the advice of nearly everyone I care about. I closed my eyes and jumped, because even though I didn’t know what [...]
Owie ow ow.
Well, I was planning on waxing poetic about my socks (as if you don’t get the idea that I adore these socks), but…well, life didn’t exactly participate last night.
As I was driving Bradon and I home last night, I said, in passing “hmm…my back hurts.”
Within an hour I could barely move.
This is no [...]
Yeah, I’m all over the clock these days – posting at 7:00 last night, now 10:00 in the morning today…this is what getting shuffled at work does to you. Yesterday was a hectic mess of moving desks, getting IDs and passwords and some slapdash training, and today….today, I sit. Perhaps the week of [...]
(Boring title, eh?)
To sum up: hectic, but fun.
Friday night Bradon and I busted our arses to get all the stuff for BloodShadows done. It was 10:20 by the time we finished, and we were supposed to grab dinner and meet a couple friends for a movie by 10:45. We skipped dinner for popcorn [...]
And the boy’s feet shall be warm:
I’m still not sure how these are going to turn out. See the left one? See how it seems to kind of twist? Yeah…that’s not because I have my foot turned. It really twists like that, and I’m not sure why. More importantly, I’m [...]
See? Slipper progress .
Isn’t this a neat trick? The progress was actually made on Tuesday. By mentioning it yesterday, and showing the picture today, it looks like I’ve been working on it steadily, when in fact I didn’t get to knit at all yesterday. Too busy inventing vampires and curses and [...]
*YAWN*
*blink* *blink*
Gawds, I’m sleepy.
(If you’re here for the knitting, you might want to skim today’s post…it’s geek-heavy and knit-light.)
Bradon and I have, in a moment of delirious stupidity charity, taken on a bit more than we can reasonably chew.
We have this wonderful friend, Carol. She is a marvel of organization, social networking, and drive. [...]
It’s so nice to be knitting on something that actually shows that you’ve made progress.
Okay, it’s not a lot of progress, but it’s better than “oooh…another stripe.”
Ah, picking up stitches. How I hate thee. Especially with Lamb’s Pride Worsted, held double. Gack. I should say that it went much better on [...]
