"While You Were Out"

Since I can’t stand to move on without at least a cursory mention of my time away, here it is in list form. Things I did during my summer vacation blog-break: 1. Kept my living room clean 2. Made my own lunches and brought them to work. 3. Finished and photographed Adromeda. 4. Finished and […]

What will they think of next….

By way of clarification, Brother #2 from yesterday is engaged. And getting married in November. A bit soon, I think, but then again, I’m the old curmudgeonly sister who dated her then boyfriend for 4.5 before getting married. And in case you need a laugh to get through the rest of this week (and who […]

Update Forthcoming

I am planning a return to blogging, soon. But for now, imagine cold mornings and finished sweaters. And if you ever harbored any desire to be related to me, I have one fewer brother on the market now (there’s still 2 left, so act fast). This is Daniel, with a sign illustrating his awesome sense […]

HA!

Having a) grown up in Southern California and b) just returned from visiting family there for a long weekend, this was startlingly accurate 🙂 more graph humor and song chart memes I do realize this is a cop-out blog post, but I’m so astonishingly overwhelmed right now with my regular job and my health issues, […]

Exhausted

It’s been all I can do this week to make sure I blog everyday. When I get home I am tired and end up knitting a few half-hearted rows on my shawl and then ignoring it for a few hours while I doze in and out of sleep while watching a movie. I’m at a […]

Thinking – A Dangerous Pastime

I’ve been toying with the idea of releasing patterns as small collections. Like 3 or 4 patterns at a time that all sort of fit together with a theme. Being the obsessive type person I am, I have listed the pros and cons. Pros: Less time spent overall to post the patterns, change all my […]

If you've been hiding under a rock for the last 19 days…
