Today felt a bit listless. I spent a lot of time planning, but felt like I didn’t accomplish much. I have the honor of doing the first kit for Make 1’s Year of Lace 2009, and a custom dyed colorway is being worked up for it. Being among the ranks of last year’s designers makes […]

Housecleaning
If you’re in between projects, need a break from your current project, or just because you wanna, you should knit one of these cranes (or more, I won’t complain). The project is to knit 1,000 cranes for knitnotwar. These knitted and felted cranes will become part of an art installation in support of peace. My […]
Random for Thursday
I have problems with my ribs…. I don’t think this is normal… I present to you exhibits a & b. a. I am extremely short-waisted, so much so that if I am not sitting up straight and I try to twist my upper body around, I will rub the bottom of my ribs against the […]
Oh Desdemona! I want to OWN ya!
I finished the Desdemona shawl this weekend. It’s the March installation for the 2009 Shakespeare in Lace Club, inspired by the tragedy of Othello. I can’t show you too much of it before it’s revealed to the club, but you can see some not-clear pictures to whet your appetite in my ravelry project page. The […]
Figures…
As a fitting end to all the drama, I am now raging sick. With a fever, and the chills, and a whole lot of medication. I can only sit upright and type now because I have been steadily downing ginger ale and slept for most of the day. I was probably fighting it off all […]
Last Day as a Corporate Tool
Last night it really hit me that I am leaving the corporate world. That my career future is entirely in my own hands, and it sort of freaked me out for a minute. But then just made me glad that I’ve made this decision. I’d much rather be terrified by something I can DO than […]
Thought for the day: 23-Jan-2009
Courtesy of my friend Morgan and whoever the unattributed author is: Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal. If you give her […]
Frantic, but home safely
TNNA was awesome as usual. I’ve got some highlights to write up, and I am still processing photos, but here are some from me and some from others. From the Stitch Co-op booth (did I mention that I am joining the Stitch Cooperative? I am. They have graciously accepted me even though my patterns aren’t […]
Thanks, Updates, and Farewell for the weekend
I’ve been meaning to thank you all for your support and congratulations for my change of situation. I’m really excited about it, and some of my coworkers have commented on how happy and smiling I am. I didn’t realize it, but I spent every day at work very serious, worried and a bit angry. That’s […]
Please Act on the CPSIA
So we all remember the lead-in-toys-from-China recalls right? Well, as well intentioned as our US Congress is (I am giving them the benefit of the doubt in this case), sometimes they let a knee-jerk reaction overwhelm logical thought. I believe this is the case with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This lovely little […]
