First, a bit of tidying up around here…there, that looks better. At least for now…I’m hoping for a complete site overhaul before too long.
You might notice a new button in the sidebar…have you heard about Anne’s ABC-Along? Now that’s a really freaking cool idea…so much so that little, anti-social me has signed up. [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been kind of adrift in the knitting world. I mean, sure, there are the endless bookmarks (I’ve got 6 knit up that have yet to be gifted…I think I’m done), and the catnip mice (I’ve got one knit up and waiting to be stuffed, to be gifted on [...]
Well, it seems that I will be the proud inheritor of the lovely Bonne Marie’s 35 gram pompom paperweight.
See, it seems that I shot my mouth off, and I may have made some outlandish claim, like “You can send it to me…I’ll make a hat just for it!”
Yeah, um…I’ve got no plan.
How heavy is 35g, [...]
We seem to have traversed the cavalcade of consumerism and emerged on the other side (relatively) unscathed. Much more perilous was navigating the familial idiosyncrasies (read: THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY) of Christmas with Bradon’s family. Ah, learning to love the people who made the man I love…there’s a lesson in all of this, [...]
We’ll start off today’s entry with a picture that should strike fear into any sensible woman’s heart:
That black thing in his hands? Yeah, that would be the pipe that goes from the garbage disposal to the rest of the plumbing.
My dear, lovely, sweet Bradon had tried to put the better part of a head [...]
First off, I’d like to thank all of you who have read, identified with, and commented on my self-evident commenting revelation. Knitbloggers rule. I still have a little voice in my head that pipes up as my mouse pointer hovers over the “Submit” button, whispering “nobody want to hear your dumbass opinion,” but [...]
After all my grumping yesterday, imagine how shocked I was to find out that I could, in fact, get into the Christmas spirit.
By going shopping.
I’m generally pretty ambivalent about shopping, leaning towards the “I’d rather stick forks in my eyes” side of the spectrum. I don’t like people, I don’t like crowds, I don’t [...]
Christmas creeps ever closer, and the knitbloggers seem to be falling into three camps:
1) Yay! It’s Christmas/Chanukah/Yule/Festivus/whatever! I love the holidays! I have a beautiful tree/menorah/appropriate holiday symbol, gorgeous decorations, cookies and cakes and yummy things to eat! All my gifts are finished and wrapped and I’m just going to [...]
I’m a bad, bad blogger.
I barely knit all weekend. Bradon and I were up until 5:00 Saturday morning writing for the game Saturday night. Normally I’d make it up to you with pictures of people in pretty costumes. I’d at least have a couple shots of me dressed up as a sluagh [...]
Comments, specifically.
When I read blogs, I generally don’t read the comments. Every once in a while, if the blogger asks a specific question, or if I’m just curious how the community at large will respond to his/her post, I’ll check it out, but usually I skip them.
I also tend not to comment on other [...]
