Seriously, this post has been sitting in the post bullpen for over a week, and it’s getting silly. Things are happening and I need to talk about them before they are over and lose their WIP status. (1) Knitting & Crocheting I have been doing both. A lot. A blanket for a friend of mine [...]

WIP Friday: Keeping hope alive
Posted in blather, the hook, the knit, WIP Wednesday on September 14, 2007 | 3 Comments »
You may remember that my camera became posessed by demons, that I had to send it away for an exorcism, and that I’ve been borrowing digital cameras both from cheerfully helpful people and from people who don’t even know about it. Because blogging is amazingly dull when one doesn’t have a digital camera. I called [...]
The No-Knitting Content part of my Knitting Blog
Posted in blather, cookery, the hook on March 20, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I just realized that the last four posts of mine have been entirely without photos. That’s boring. Really boring. So, to revitalize this blog, I give you pictures of what I’ve been up to during my non-knitting time. 1. I haven’t had these since fourth grade I now have bangs. (I was going to talk [...]

In the swirling madness that was my wedding preparation, I forgot that Sunday the 23rd of July was my blogiversary. * Way to go, little blog! * I started this bloggyblog in the hopes that it would take the place of the monthly newsletter I was sending out to all my past crochet students who [...]
Perhaps you stopped by for the knitting?
Posted in blather, the hook, the knit, wedding bells on June 22, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I know. You don’t want to hear any more about the wedding. You’ve tolerated my whining and ranting because you just want me to get back to the fiber arts, for the love of pete. I know this because I don’t want to hear any more about my wedding. I’m wedding-ed out. And more friends [...]
Growth
Posted in blather, the hook on June 7, 2006 | 3 Comments »
The wedding shawl is growing by leaps and bounds. Or by dc’s and ch’s. Or by whatever means with which you want to define growth. This is what it looked like before, and here is what I have now: Round eleventyhundred, or maybe 19, posing on the amazing chenille blanket made for me by my [...]
Penelope’s got nothing on me
Posted in blather, the hook on May 25, 2006 | 8 Comments »
I don’t know where I got the idea to make my own wedding shawl. It was probably based in a mad delusion in which I am better at both knitting and time management. I was thinking romantic thoughts involving the words “heirloom” and “fond memories” and imagining a stunning shawl that would make people who [...]
What The Hell?
Posted in blather, the hook, the knit on May 23, 2006 | 1 Comment »
There seems to have been a dearth of knitting/crochet content on this blog of late. (Of late? Dearth?) And it’s because I’ve been sick with a minor cold, from which I have nearly recovered. There are still some residual brain-full-of-snot moments when I don’t remember my name, much less what I’m knitting. I think I [...]
Let us be rid of it.
Posted in blather, finished objects, the hook on March 31, 2006 | 2 Comments »
The weeks of agony are over. I have finished both the crochet class I was teaching and my first-ever garment.First, I have to say that I’m pretty proud of myself. I re-wrote that pattern 3 times, actually gauge-swatched for the first time, and made something that will cover a child’s arms and torso without having [...]
This is your definition of sane?

Overheard at Chez HookOn: Nick (upon seeing me pull out a long-forgotten crochet afghan project): “You’re crocheting!”Me (delighting in his ability to observe the obvious): “Yes. Why are you all excited?”Nick: “You haven’t crocheted in a long time and I like it.”Me: “You like it when I crochet.” (massive skepticism)Nick: “Well, it’s just that when [...]
