I have to admit, I wasn’t real excited about writing this blog entry today.
After I worked my way through my Bloglines, I popped up my “Write Post” window and stared at it for a bit. Then I pulled out my lace scarf and started knitting.
This isn’t a slight to you, my beloved readers. [...]
As knitters the world over breathe a sigh of relief. Whether they made it or not, they let out a collective breath and think thank goodness it’s over.
Friday evening, as I drove home from work, I decided to rip out the lining and knit a ribbed edge onto my hat. It was too [...]
From this point forward, when I find a knitting pattern I like, I will read through the pattern and look for the word “tack.” If I come across that word, I will scream in abject horror, set the pattern on fire, and run far, far away.
No, it’s not going all that well. Why [...]
First, I would like to thank the sweet and talented Debbie for her kind and patient help with the whole “tacking” debacle. Between her advice in yesterday’s comments, and a bit of follow-up via e-mail, I think I’m ready to tackle the tacking (sorry, couldn’t resist).
So, here’s the hat, steamed and ready to go.
I [...]
It figures that on the day that the illustrious Yarn Harlot links to me, I’ve got nothing.
But…did you see? I won! I won a contest! I’m shocked and amazed and incredibly grateful. And the yarn…did you see the yarn (scroll all the way down)? Can you believe how beautiful it [...]

On Saturday, Bradon and I perpetrated an act of ultimate evil and got another one of our friends hooked on WoW. [...]
(NOTE: My server went wonky sometime yesterday morning, and is just now back up. This is yesterday’s (2/20) post. I’ll be writing today’s post later today. Sorry for the technical difficulties.)
Despite hours and hours and hours of WoW this weekend (no really – hours), I did manage to sit down last night [...]
(If you’re the type who gets offended by people publicly thanking others for gifts, just scroll on by this first part. Personally, this is one of my favorite parts of knitblogging, both reading and writing.)
Never, ever, ever underestimate the generosity of knitters.
I believe the word I’m looking for here is gobsmacked.
Last week, when I [...]
Woohoo! Posting before 4:00!
Sadly, there was not much knitting yesterday. Instead, there was celebrating a dear friend’s birthday (hi, Chuck! Happy birthday, again!)
Now, as a vegetarian of sorts, when I see that one of my friends has requested “Meat!” for his birthday celebration…it should be a warning. I should think long [...]
