Though it does have pictures in it. (You probably thought I’d forgotten how to write a post that wasn’t Project 365-based, didn’t you?) Hat, on my hand Looking at the top. Yay decreases! This hat as written will fit small newborns, and the seedstitch stripe pops out a bit from the stockinette body, which is [...]

Twenty-nine

It’s my birthday again, and it’s the last age I’ll ever be that will have a 2 at the beginning of it. Unless I live to be 200, and that seems unlikely. I finished knitting my sister’s tea cozy last Friday (and dammit, the pictures are on my laptop at home; I’m at work) (pictures [...]
Like a bolt from the clear sky

This is weird. I have an unfamiliar urge. An urge to … KNIT. Constantly I’m thinking about knitting. Knitting a tea cozy. Knitting myself mittens. Knitting myself two pairs of mittens. Knitting mittens for a friend and sort of coming up with a new pattern to do it. Knitting a sweater, two sweaters, THREE sweaters! [...]
Flowers, Flowers, and a Contest

Today’s Thursday Three post is late because I just now (at 9:30pm) got back from a floral design show. Yes, a floral design show. It was the biggest gathering of older white women I have seen in a long time. It was a fundraiser for a local charity whose main focus is literacy. I was [...]
Oh yes, yes I did.

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 [...]
Welcome!

Hey, I see you found your way over here! Thanks for stopping in. I’m still getting the blog the way I want it, so things may be moving around for a bit. But I have all the major things settled in, and I’m glad you’re here to visit. If you came from my old blog, [...]
Pssst! Wanna buy some Mohair?
Posted in destashing, the yarn on April 22, 2007 | 4 Comments »
All yarn has lived with me for 3+ years in a non-pet, non-smoking home, and has spent most of its time in plastic bags. It’s lovely stuff, but mohair and I just don’t get along. I’m open to PayPal and check (will wait until it clears). Shipping (you choose method) is not included in the [...]
The Magic Words
Posted in blather, domestic banter, field trip, glee, the yarn on March 30, 2007 | 3 Comments »
So, this past weekend (that of the 24th to the 25th), Nick and I went to Geneva for a little getaway. I planned the whole thing without telling him where we were going, where we’d be staying… only that we would be going away for a night. Orginally I wanted to stay at a cozy [...]
Some Observations
Posted in blather, cookery, family, family-ish, the yarn, weather-mongering on March 2, 2007 | 7 Comments »
1. The weather has gone bat-shit crazy, as is usual here for March. Yesterday it rained all morning, got sunny and warm at lunchtime, then went grey and evil during the afternoon. Then it snowed all night with high winds (my apartment building? It sways in the wind. Yes.), and that seems to be the [...]
