I’m WELL into the shawl that I was going to start while traveling for TNNA in Impulse of Delight Blissful BFL, and I want to show it to you and get some opinions. With this piece I was trying to play with the movement of stitches, having both subtle curving motion and clean decrease lines […]

You can call me "Pusher"
For those who were curious about where to get the yarn from yesterday’s post, Karida responded that she’s got a shipment en route to The Loopy Ewe, but until Sherri gets it in stock, the best place to get it is from Knit Happens. They’re located in Virginia, but Karida said they ship daily worldwide, […]
Eye Candy Friday: Silk Yarn
I love this yarn with the same fierce passion that I normally reserve for the hatred of anything pink. The fact that this pink yarn has garnered as much love as it has should tell you something. It’s AMAZING! It’s destined to grow up and become a shawl, but for now it is much petted. […]
Today's Picture: A Childhood Reminiscence
I got a bonsai tree today… FTD.com shipped it to me (and very well packaged, might I add). I’ve always wanted a bonsai, but when I was ordering it despite the fact that they had plenty of more traditional bonsais, I was overwhelmingly drawn to the dwarf jade because it reminded me of my childhood. […]
The Couches
We got these couches from Kim‘s yard sale when she and Ryan moved cross country to law school (incidentally, they just moved back, but to Idaho this time). I think we paid $40 for the whole set – couch, chair and ottoman. And they replaced our $10 third of fourth hand sofa that we purchased […]
Random Wednesday, the afternoon edition
1. I have joined the iPod nation. While C got his first iPod a month or two ago, I got mine as a birthday gift to myself in preparation for the long flight to TNNA. The verdict? I love it. I listen to it at work, I listen to it on the train home, I […]
TNNA Recap
The thing I love most about TNNA is that no matter who you’re talking to, no one has a problem with you talking about fiber. It’s like coming home. When you say “left leaning decrease” no one cocks an eyebrow at you, and no one says “Is that from a sheep?” when you say mohair. […]
It may be time for the murder of the building manager….
I am at work…. where it is 85 DEGREES in my office! SWEET MERCIFUL GOD! Someone kill me. My brain cannot function and there are only so many layers of clothing I can strip off before it becomes inappropriate attire for the public. M
Head… exploding
A half day of work combined with an afternoon flight across the country don’t make for a very stress-free Mim. Too crazy to really blog, but I made a commitment (to myself) to blog every day this week, so here it is. I’ll try to blog as much as possible from TNNA, but I’m not […]
Have Knitting, Will Travel
I’m getting close to being done with the body of Coraline and ready to unite it with the arms. I discovered that I was going to cut the estimate close on yardage and would probably have to rip out my swatches to make it work out, but when I put on the sleeves. The length […]
