Some days you’re in love with your current project, and you just can’t put it down.
Some days you’re in love with knitting, and it doesn’t matter what project you have in your hands, as long as your needles are clicking away.
And some days your love of knitting hits a fevered pitch, and you suddenly want [...]
How was your weekend?
Mine was spent bleeding and wincing in pain, at the hands of someone I’d paid to torture me. It was excellent!
I got The Little Prince tattooed on my back/butt…oh, geez, seven years ago? I’d been meaning to add to the tattoo, expand on the theme, pretty much ever since then, but had [...]
Finally, a picture that better represents the colors of this fiber. Obviously it’s coming along – two bobbins full of fluffy two-ply. I expect to get another bobbin and half – maybe two – out of the singles I have left. Its weird color is definitely growing on me, and I think this is going [...]
(Those sensitive to grisly scenes of tomato mutilation may want to look away.)
The Suspect: One of a bajillion grey squirrels that live in my neighborhood.
The Victims: Two perfectly ripe, lovely looking tomatoes.
Sigh.
Do you see that needle? It’s a size thirteen. That’s a 9mm. It’s huge. I feel like I’m weilding broomsticks.
Somehow I got it into my head that I want to knit Christmas gifts this year. In the past I’ve avoided holiday knitting, both because I’m a slow knitter who can’t meet a deadline to save [...]
Let me start off by saying, without reservation, that I love Ravelry. I love the pattern browser, I love the yarn info, I love my projects list and my queue and love having a quick and easy way to see how other knitters have interpreted a pattern. I think Casey and Jess and Mary-Heather are [...]
Due to a migraine of biblical proportions, your usual blog post has been replaced with this lame apology.
As a palliative measure, please enjoy another silly picture of a cat with bobbins of singles on him.
“Mooooom! Get these things off of me!”
Cat added for interest because, frankly, there’s not much else to say.
Two bobbins full, and a little bit left which I’ll split in half to put on two more bobbins. Yes, going with a two-ply, mostly so that I get more yarn…hopefully enough to knit a decent-sized scarf. The no-pre-drafting long draw is still working [...]
The next question is, what do you do when a disapprove of a business’ ethics?
As nice as it would be, sometimes, to live in a vacuum…we don’t. Every tiny decision we make has an impact, and those tiny impacts can expand exponentially.
I don’t eat Domino’s Pizza because I don’t want to give money – even [...]
There’s something interesting happening over on the Amazon page for Spore, the new computer game from Electronic Arts.
Specifically, there’s something interesting happening in the customer reviews section.
Two thousand, four hundred and fourteen people have reviewed the game as of this writing, and two thousand, one hundred and sixty-three of them gave the game only one [...]
