Well, I was going to show you beautiful pictures of my done and very lovely first-ever sweater.
They’re lovely pictures.
So lovely, in fact, that my camera refuses to give them up.
After a lovely 30 minutes on tech support with a man who didn’t seem to believe that I am capable of turning on my own [...]
Today was my first water aerobics class.
Some of you may recall that I get a little bit…um…touched (as in, in the head) when I’m forced into a social situation. I don’t like meeting new people, I don’t like being the new person in the group, I don’t like making friends, and I don’t like [...]
…how fast these socks are going.
I may be sold on this whole toe-up thing. Maybe.
Thank you for all the consolation and suggestions on the collar. I’m going to sneak some stitches in to tighten up the V “seam,” block it, and see how I feel – hopefully sometime over the weekend. With [...]
…with the way that the collar looks.
It’s sloppy. It’s too loose. The “seam” up the bottom of the V is too loose/wide/separated, but the point pulls in more than the rest of the collar. The ribbing gapes, and it’s all lumpy because I suck at picking up stitches.

Look! Toe-up socks!
The gorgeous, spring-y yarn is Lana Grossa Meilenweit Cotton Fun (well, that’s what the label says, but it looks like it’s actually [...]
Those of you who are more sensitive souls…you might want to look away.
When a package shows up at your home, and the return address label bears the name of one of your favorite knitbloggers, this is not how you want the box to look.
Bradon walked into the apartment, set the box on the kitchen counter, [...]
I know I said that there would be a lot of knitting over the weekend. And there was, really! There was knitting, and there was frogging, and then some more knitting, and then more frogging. Then maybe some cursing, and possibly even some crying. But we’re not going to talk about [...]
So, it’s my last day of work at my Old Job, and where am I?
Home early with a migraine. *sigh*
I didn’t want to come home – being both stubborn and perpetually strapped for cash – but my migraine medicine still wasn’t working after two hours, and the pain was starting to make me queasy. [...]
Have you ever wondered how many posts you’ve written? Yes, I know that your blogging software probably keeps track for you, but if you really want to be struck by just how many posts that is, wait until a particularly persistent spammer picks you out as the lucky winner. When you have your [...]
Here’s my body’s idea of a good time:
Get fat and unhealthy. Hurt all the time and function poorly. Complain. Wait until the brain resolves itself to whip you into shape. Go along with it for a week and a half. Enjoy the motion, the fresh air, the sunshine. Realize [...]
