…and says “ow,” apparently.
Y’all are so funny!
Okay, some of them got more groans than giggles, but they all cheered me up. Thank you! It’s good to have friends who can make you laugh on stupid, crappy days.
I must also say that I’m very pleased that no one told either of my two favorite [...]
It’s a spinning wheel…in my apartment!
Each week we will get to bring home a new wheel to practice with, so that we can discover our preferences. Maggie said that she wants to start me on the Louet because it’s the slowest wheel, and therefore spins the thickest yarn. Because I seem to show [...]
The Denver Stitch N’ Pitch will be held on Saturday, July 28th, at Coors Field. Jaime, the very nice publicist at Interweave Press, sent me a very nice e-mail letting me know about it, and asking me to mention it on the blog. I told her that I would be happy to do [...]
It’s so nice when you can help a yarn meet its destiny.
It was a rocky road at first, but this gorgeous sock yarn (thanks again, Tina!) has finally become what it was always meant to be, and I lurve these socks.
Once we’re past the tugging and grimacing, they fit beautifully. They’re comfy, they stay [...]
For one of my birthday gifts (back in April) Bradon decided to put me through a wheel spinning class. He called both of the LYSes I frequent, but both of them told him that their spinning classes were full. He put me on both waiting lists.
A couple weeks ago, Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins [...]
I have had a really crappy day.
All things told, my life is pretty good, but work today sucked six kinds of ass. The kind of sucky work where when you leave (an hour and a half late) you curl up in bed and cry.
Okay, so that’s what I do.
As it so happens, I also [...]
Originally, my intention was to make my nephew-to-be’s blanket quite a bit bigger. The plan was to go from light to dark, then back to light for the outside, edging it in the cream with which I started in the middle.
That’s not going to happen, for a few reasons.
I’m out of time. The [...]
(It’s pictureful! As always, click for big.)
Ah, Estes Park Wool Market, how I love thee.
You give me a reason to host a most wonderful houseguest for the weekend, who brings gifts of to-die-for raspberry-peach jam.
You give me an opportunity to see Kristi and her famous socks (they’re beyond gorgeous.)
You give me the opportunity to [...]
Hrm…do ya think I should just bite the bullet and get “real” hosting? I’m thinking so. Not because the server will necessarily be any more stable, but because if I’m paying for it I feel justified in yelling at someone about it when the server goes down.
In any case, I apologize for the [...]
So, let’s say that you have a pair of friends, and this pair of friends has an adorable daughter who has just turned one.
And let’s say that you decided to knit their adorable daughter a Mason-Dixon Baby Kimono. You went stash diving, found a good yarn, and cast on. You got more than [...]
