Twenty Kureyon blocks! Ah ah ah! I know it’s Friday, but better a late WIP Wednesday than never right? Right. Kureyon 207, purchased at Stitches Midwest 2007, the 18th block Kureyon 126, from KillerDaisy (on Ravelry) (THANK YOU!), the 19th block Kureyon Mishmash, from previous block leftovers. The 20th and final block! Woohoo! They’re done! [...]

Soggy, but still here
Posted in blather, weather-mongering on August 28, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I didn’t mean to be all dramatic with my last post and then leave the blog for a while. Sorry about that. All is well Chez HookOn, seeing as we live on the second floor of a building nowhere near the river. Thursday night did bring us a lively storm, starting about 11:00pm and not [...]
And the floods came up
Posted in weather-mongering on August 23, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Tonight’s forecast: DeKalb IL is right above the little “c” in Chicago on that map. The river in town is already above flood stage, and we have a flood warning in effect until Sunday night. It’s raining to beat the band, as my grandma would say, and my landlord has turned off the sewer line [...]
Nearing the End
Posted in blather, Kureyon blanket, the knit, WIP Wednesday on August 22, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Like a hot knife through butter, I move through the pile of Kureyon. Kureyon 180, the 14th block Like grass in the wind, it bends to my will. Kureyon 170, the 15th block The colors dance under my hands. Like puppets. Kureyon 154, the 16th block Kureyon, you fascinate me even as I devour you. [...]
Recap and Review
Posted in blather, family-ish, field trip, listing, the yarn on August 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
My Stitches Midwest 2007 Experience can be summed up in the following picture-less points (sorry, the Dada camera is still at the repair shop): 1. If you can help it, don’t go to Stitches when you’re ill. It really brings down your energy level and there is nothing at Stitches that feels better than a [...]
WIP … Thursday?
Posted in blather, Kureyon blanket, the knit, WIP Wednesday on August 16, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I was going to post this yesterday, but I got distracted. Nick left last night for a four-day trip away with guys, and I took advantage of his absence by scattering my knitting all over the living room. I may have left a project in the bathroom… I’m not sure. I love having the apartment [...]
Vegan Pal Questionnaire – Answered!
Posted in blather, the blogosphere, Vegan Pal 2 on August 14, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I joined the Vegan Pal 2 Swap for several reasons, the biggest of which is I CAN’T WAIT FOR FALL. What is/are your craft(s), and how long have you been doing it/them? I’m a knitter and a crocheter. I’ve been crocheting since 2003 and knitting since 2005. I knit more than I crochet, but I [...]
Damn Straight
Posted in blather, domestic banter, the knit on August 10, 2007 | 2 Comments »
In a bastardous turn of events, I have been struck with a cold. A nasty sinus cold. Mere days — nay, HOURS, before I’m scheduled to be at Stitches. My nose is runny (but also stuffed up!), my throat is scratchy and sore, and I’m thirsty as hell. As you may have suspected, I am [...]
Now with 500% Stronger Hands!
Posted in blather, finished objects, Kureyon blanket, the knit on August 8, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Last week sometime, or perhaps before that (I don’t really know, and I shall blame this not-knowing on the heat and humidity we’ve been having), Femiknitter and I formed a pact to make sure we finished up some stalled projects. Because she’s coming into Chicago this Saturday (!!!) and we’re going to Stitches Midwest together, [...]
It’s who I am

I’m hard at work on my Bonus Stitches Goal (more on that later), so I give you a lolcat quiz to distract you from my lack of content. Heather, you are required to take this quiz. Anyone else can choose to play or not. But tell me in the comments what manner of lolcat you [...]
