Happy Halloween, kids.

I seem to always run into this problem.

I’m a few rows from finishing the toe, here.  I’ve pulled the needles out, hoping that it will make a difference.

It doesn’t.
And so now I ponder.  I made up this pattern.  I had the idea, and it would be lying to say that the execution has gone exactly [...]

I’ve been living in Colorado for twelve years now, so seeing this out my window on October 29th doesn’t surprise me.

Really, the only surprising thing is that it came two days early – usually, we get our first measurable snow of the season on Halloween.
Of course, this one was a bit more measurable than our [...]

Saturdays appear to be the weak link in my new plan.  This week I just flat-out forgot.
Okay, that’s not entirely true.  Sometime around 3:00 pm I thought “Oh, yeah, I have to blog today.  I’ll be sure to do that when I finish the Stealth Project.”  Then I knit all day long, finished the Stealth [...]

Every once in a while it occurs to me how odd it is that I get along so well with my parents.
I mean, it’s not all roses and sunshine all the time.  I was once a teenager, after all, with all the angst that implies.  Nonetheless, especially now that I’m older, I get along really [...]

Yanno, it’s hard to blog when:

You have no time to knit.
Your parents are in town, so you have even less time to knit.
What precious little knitting time you squeak in is devoted to a stealth project.

Really, I’m going to get this blogging thing down one of these days.
Things are still pretty awesome, for the most [...]

Okay, so maybe that whole “blogging on Saturday” thing didn’t work out terribly well this week.  In my defense, I was home and conscious for only about three hours all day, and most of those three hours were spent getting ready to go somewhere else.  Oh, the tragic life of the busy roleplayer.  If it [...]

Not that there’s been much.  Between the hectic work days and the busy weekends, I haven’t had much time to sit down with my sticks and string.
Nonetheless, the experimental socks have been growing in fits and starts:

I’m still liking how these are turning out – at this point I think it’s safe to say I’ll [...]

Greetings, my lovely friends!  I am so glad that you’re all here, and I’m glad that I’m here too.
My, what a ride it’s been these last few weeks!
I have now been in my new position for three weeks, and I’ve got to tell you…I love it.  Unreservedly, without a doubt, I love it.
That’s never happened [...]

I have a blog?
Dude…where did this come from?
So, uh, yeah…sorry about the interruption of service.  It appears that the server had a “catastrophic hardware malfunction” (I love how computer nerds always make it sound like shit’s blowing up) which resulted in my blog going down for several weeks.  No, no, nothing terrible happened to me.
Actually, [...]
