I finished my second persephone scarf. Since I was offering it for publication, instead of fielding a million questions about a suitable substitute for the handspun yarn I used for the original, I thought a commercially available fiber would be good. Something that you could compare it to if you wanted to substitute or the […]

Knitters are good people
Apparently I have crazy eyebrows…. So I’ve alluded to it, but didn’t give you all details, but I went to Denver at the end of March for Imbrium‘s wedding. The whole flickr set is here. I didn’t feel comfortable taking pictures of the actual ceremony since there were professional photographers doing that, but it was […]
In which I return without reason.
Wow… I just sort of fell off the face of the planet, didn’t I? I’ve been knitting, I’ve been working (really hard) and neglecting my house, which is really to be expected, considering my MO. But I have knit a lot. In all fairness, I finished this pi shawl before I left for Denver (although […]
Pattern Release: Zephyros Shawl
Zephyros is the Spring Wind in Greek Mythology, the wind of change. Welcome the new life of spring with this clean-lined shawl. Solid enough to keep the chill off on a spring morning, but elegant and interesting to knit, with the wind theme echoed throughout. Pattern now available for download through the MimKnits Online Shop. […]
Huzzah!
I managed to make it through a whole week of posting! And now to reward the hard work, today is random. 1. C and I have been renting Dr. Who, Season 1 through NetFlix. I don’t know what it is about British Television… is it just me or does it seem better to anyone else? […]
I think Spring is here
The tree pollen is out in full force (and my nose and sinuses won’t let me forget it), the bulb flowers are popping up their heads, and the days are turning progressively warmer. Today was the first day in at least 5 months that I’ve got outside with no sweater or coat, just a shirt, […]
An actual knitting update, but with pictures of flowers
I really didn’t expect to get so many people de-lurking when I posted about birth control. It seems like there are a lot of women for whom artificial hormones are just BAD NEWS! I’m rather excited at the prospect of getting back to ‘Normal’, and being able to think clearly again. I have been knitting […]
Pattern Release: Aspen Grove Shawl
The Aspen Grove Shawl is now available for purchase and download in the store. The shawl is designed in 3 parts. Each of the 4 repeated wedges of the shawl begins with a gathering of leaves, then moves downward into the twisting, odd trunks of the aspens, culminating in the feather and fan edge, which […]
DONE!
Dear Hormonal Birth Control, While I have loved your ease and reliability, your trustworthiness and simplicity, I am sad to say that our relationship is at an end. We had the wonderful first stages, where I realized how nice it was not to worry about accidental pregnancy if I only took your tiny little pill […]
Movie Meme, Part the Second
I’ve added the second clue for the ones that went unrevealed. See if that maybe helps. 1. “By the way, this thing? Single gayest thing you’ve ever done.” Clue #2. “Talking monkey, yeah, yeah. Came here from the future, ugly sucker, only says “ficus”.” YAY! Heather got this one, which is Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang […]
