I really, really want to title this post “Bridal Crisis the Only,” but my bridesmaids assure me this is only the first of many.
So, back at the beginning of March I began calling around to bridal boutiques, looking for someone who carried the dress I want. Bradon and I had looked at wedding dresses [...]
Well, this is a crappy thing to discover while taking your handknit socks out of the washing machine.
(Blue ribbon added for contrast.)
I think I can fix it, though it may not look pretty when I’m done. I haven’t the foggiest what might have happened – there wasn’t a weak spot, and there wasn’t anything [...]
Things I’ve learned today:
How to cable without a cable needle. Grumperina is a goddess.
If you plan on changing your needle size after the ribbing…remember to change your needle size after the ribbing.
If you are designing your own project, and while changing patterns you discover that you have two extra stitches, you should stop and [...]
I’ll give you a hint…most babies have necks. If only it were a kimono for a Kaminoan. (Whaddya want? The site is called nerd knits.)
This could be a time for the gnashing of teeth. This could be a time for crying and cursing and frogging again. This could be a [...]
I’m not going to make it.
I have three projects on the needles which have deadlines, and I’m pretty sure I’m not going to make a damn one of them.
The Baby Kimono ideally would have been done on Saturday, but finishing it tomorrow would still be considered “on time.”
That’s not going to happen. As [...]
Happy Friday afternoon, all.

Rippit, rippit.
Of course it was too small. Did you ever think that there was a possibility that it wouldn’t be?
Even more crushingly, it was just a wee little bit too small. As in, I had 5.25 sts/inch, as opposed to 5 sts/inch. Which leaves me one inch short in the final estimation.
In [...]
Now, see, if I were a smart blogger, I would have strung you all along, drug out the suspense…shown you a project a day to get as much blogging back for my buck as I could. Instead, I was silly and shot my wad, leaving me in the wake with not much to post. [...]
Well, wasn’t that a lovely little unscheduled blog vacation?
Never fear…all is well here in nerdtopia (should that be nerdvana?) A couple weeks ago we had a bang-up thunderstorm here on the front range, which had the power going on and off for most of the afternoon. This proved to be a bit much [...]
