You know.
When you are knitting something – especially something you’ve never tried before, a new style or technique – and you keep looking at part of your knitting and thinking “hrm…is it supposed to look like that?”
You keep on, because you figure that the designer knows better than you do, and maybe it’ll resolve itself. [...]
Submitted (finally!) for your approval…the Red Scarf Sunshine Photo!
That’s a pretty true representation of color, at least on my screen. I love the slow color shift, and though I was a little hesitant about the brighter fringe on that one end, I was unwilling to be crazy and try to make the fringe match. [...]
I can handle the sniffling and the coughing. I hate it, but it’s tolerable. But when my ears starting ringing at about 12:30 last night, that freaked me right the fuck out. I’m used to a little tinnitus now and again – usually after a concert – but the sudden onset and [...]
Imbrium, are you dead?
No, I’m not dead.
Do you hate us?
No! Not at all. I’ve been reading your blogs, even if I haven’t been commenting, and I think about you all the time.
Then why have you been absent for…what, two, three weeks now?
A multitude of reasons, not the least of which is that I’m [...]
…and by “tomorrow,” I mean Friday.
Excuse #1: I’ve had the same cold since Christmas, and while I’m not “sick,” it sucks the life out of me.
Excuse #2: Work is busy and sucky, and by the time I want to get home, all I want to do is stare at a wall. If [...]
(To any men or squeamish women in the audience…I am about to talk pretty extensively about menstruation. Proceed at your own risk.)
My apologies for the lack of knitting or blogging for the last few days – things have been hectic, and the few spare moments I get are devoted to panicking about the wedding [...]
…or My, What a Big Ass You Have!
My stash is not the only thing that has grown to unconscionable proportions.
But, really, it’s not about the ass or the belly or the stupid number on the scale – yeah, those things bother me when I let them, but most of the time I realize that I’m [...]
All the yarn featured in the previous post is carefully wrapped up (to protect it from The Scourge of Shoelaces and String-Like Things) and sitting on top of the big plastic bin that serves as yarn storage. I had left it there after I unpacked from my trip with the mentality that I wanted [...]
Fear not, gentle readers – I will not allow the knitting blog to devolve into all wedding all the time. Granted, it will probably be a lot of wedding much of the time, but this is, after all, a knitting blog, and I’d like to think I have some semblance of focus. I [...]
Bradon and I both thank you for all your kind words. We are, as you can imagine, deliriously happy.
We were worried that we weren’t going to make it out to Chicago at all, what with the massive amount of snow that Coloradans have been nattering on about. We were sent home from work [...]
