It started snowing Tuesday evening.
It snowed most of Wednesday, and it was bitterly cold.
Overnight, it dropped to about 19° F.
This morning when I woke up, I had a very hard time coaxing myself to get out of bed. This isn’t terribly unusual, but in addition to sleepiness, I was also overwhelmed with the sensation [...]

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you, nor is that picture as wonked up as it may seem. That would be the slow variegation I was telling you about. It’s quite entrancing, actually. I don’t really notice it while I’m knitting, but every once in a while I hold it [...]

Four years and a few weeks ago, I sat down across the table from my mother at our favorite sushi restaurant. I had made the 40 minute trip to Littleton from Boulder, where I was living with my boyfriend, Chris.
Chris and I were kind of having a hard time of it – not a [...]

Does anyone else find it ironic that many knitbloggers the world over are going to be knitting scarves over the next few months that, by their very definition (being red, and all) will defy all attempts to be photographed?
You can almost see it in the picture, but this yarn has a very slow variegation from [...]

Sorry kids – no Saturday Sky this time. Every time I saw the sky this weekend, it was black, and while I was tempted to post a black rectangle and say “there ya go,” I don’t think that’s what you would be looking for.
So here’s to totally jacking up my sleep schedule. Even [...]

Apologies for missing my post yesterday…I sort of came home and fell asleep on the couch. Bradon woke me up at about 10:30…to send me to bed.
And I’m not going to be much good for a post tonight, either. Tomorrow is BloodShadows, after all. I’ve been trying to disengage myself from the [...]

A little more than a week ago (Friday, November 3, to be exact), I was over at Susan’s blog reading her interview with Donna Druchunas, who is taking part in a blog tour to promote her new book, Arctic Lace. The interview is a thoroughly enjoyable read, and the book is certainly on my [...]
