It’s pretty clear that there’s no knitting going on around here.
Sorry about that.
Here’s what has been going on.
Our one year anniversary is on March 29. One year. Traditional gift: paper.
I’ve actually had this planned for a long, long time. I started folding cranes before the wedding. When Bradon had a Sunday roleplaying game that played [...]
Kisses and curses to Jonathan Coulton for introducing me to this little timesuck. Dude…I have shit to do. (Warning: sound starts immediatley.)
In a little less than a two months (apparently I forgot about March in its entirety,) I will turn thirty years old. As my twenties have wound down, I have come to a shocking and – quite frankly – disturbing realization.
My mother was right.
Now, she wasn’t right about everything. She said that I’d grow out [...]
Sock Summit.
Sock. Fucking. Summit.
I am so there.
I’d like to pretend to play it cool. Maybe I’ll go, maybe I won’t. But the truth is, I read that instructor list and said “I don’t care how much it costs…I’m going.” I feel almost dumb for being this excited, but who cares? I’m so going.
Nevermind that my [...]
I’m in one of those moods where every little, tiny thing is pissing me off to no end. I know that the blog has been lame this week, and I’m sorry – it doesn’t look like it’s getting any better. There’s been no knitting at all, just sick and grumpy.
In light of this, I am [...]
Despite the fact (or perhaps because) I take a lot of medicine for my headaches, as a rule I don’t take a lot of drugs. I generally prefer to endure mild discomfort and let my body do what it wants to do, instead of drugging away all of my symptoms. I certainly don’t have a [...]
As indicated by my last post, Bradon and I spent our glorious long Valentine’s weekend sicker than dogs. We did manage to make it out of the house on Saturday (dinner and a movie, how original of us,) but otherwise we sat at home, slept, coughed, sneezed, and played Lego Star Wars II (noisy flash [...]
I love it when my husband shares his thoughts with me.
I love it when he shares his laughter with me.
I love it when he shares his blanket, his ice cream, his bowl of popcorn.
I love it when he shares his art and his passion with me.
…

I wish to God he hadn’t shared his chest cold [...]
…but this thing continues to baffle me.
It’s not that I can’t piece it together, per se. I know how to fold it, and once a section is knit I can see where it goes. It’s that I can’t look at the schematic and figure out where to place the stripes. Honestly. my initial inclination was [...]
Nothing exciting here tonight…I’ve spent an embarrassment of time watching the latest shitstorm on Ravelry. (I’m linking it because I hate it when people act all secretive about drama like this – it is what it is, and you know if you’re interested in that kind of thing or not. I find human nature fascinating, [...]
