Previously I showed you an old picture of the Chosen-by-Blog sock. It was pretty terrible, and also old and outdated. I have moved on from the foot since then, and I am now ready to show you just how it really looks: Pointy bits to be removed at a later date I added three columns [...]

The earth moved for me
Posted in blather, weather-mongering on April 18, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Did it move for you? I woke up at 4:35 this morning to the sound of stuff falling over, and I couldn’t make up my sleepy mind between the idea that someone had broken into our apartment or that someone had driven a car into our building. Fortunately NinjaHusband’s reflexes and reactions are sharper than [...]
I love this weather.

It allows me to continue wearing my handknits. I actually threw a tantrum at work today when I noticed it was snowing. One of my co-workers walked past my cube and remarked on the nature of the precipitation, and we both flipped out a little, stomped our feet, wailed, and gnashed our teeth. Then we [...]
There should be more than one FO here

With today being the first full day of spring (right? Am I right? I have no idea. The calendar says yesterday was the Spring Equinox, so I’m guessing here.), ALLEGEDLY, you would think that winter’s icy grip would relax and daffodils would be in bloom and birds would sing and Bambi and Thumper might cavort [...]
WIP Whatever Day This Is

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 [...]
Dear Winter,
Posted in blather, weather-mongering, tagged badassery, snow, winter on February 29, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how I feel about you. Winter, you’re kind of a bastard. You’ve been exceptionally bastardous this year. You’ve sent over 50 inches of snow our way and kept us in a deep freeze for most of the past three months. Even though the winds are [...]
Surrealism means never having to say meringue.

“You have the vocabulary of an aspidistra in panic.” And if you want to hear more unlike that one, just go to the Surrealist Compliment Generator. In other news, winter is here. I’m trying to come up with a tactful description of this frozen bicycle, but I’m failing And there are more on the ol’ [...]
Where’d my autumn go?
Posted in blather, sockness, the knit, weather-mongering on October 5, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Because the weather has been acting more like summer and less like fall … Honestly, what does a girl have to do to get a little autumn around here? … I’m reviving the Decidedly Fall socks … I took them to the theater to watch my sister’s play’s final dress rehearsal. The socks are much [...]
Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty!
Posted in blather, Kureyon blanket, the knit, weather-mongering, WIP Wednesday on August 31, 2007 | 5 Comments »
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 [...]
