Movie Meme

Since it’s Friday (Thank GOD!) here’s a bit of fun to start off the weekend properly. May I present, the Movie Meme The rules: 1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. Except I didn’t go to IMDb. I live off movie quotes and have […]

Persephone Scarf

This is the handspun angora/silk version of this scarf. I’ll be making another version of it in a commercial yarn (I’m leaning toward Dream in Color Baby) and release the pattern on about April 15th. The pattern for the handspun version is going out with the final offering for the Wooly Wonka Exotic Fibers Club. […]

Shop News

I upgraded my shop this evening and added the paypal express checkout module, which I had been trying to add for a good 6 months but finally got all the pieces in play tonight (the backup worked perfectly, which rarely happens, and I got all the upgrades and installs right. Woot!). If you notice anything […]

A Day To Celebrate

Today is both Margene‘s Birthday (go wish her a happy one or I will have to hunt you all down and beat you with a stinky fish! Love you! :P) and Pi Day! What a perfect day to sit down with my second Pi shawl. M

Books from me, Books for me

New Month, New Leaf, New Template

HEADS UP all you crazy sock knitters!

Scout has announced the new round of the Scouts Swag Sock Club. Sign-ups for the lottery will open on March 10th at 6 pm MST. Don’t miss your chance to enter for one of the 40 spots! In other news, I took a this font-tastic quiz and got 90%. I find that rather disturbing… M

Babies, Babies EVERYWHERE!

Is it just me or is everyone pregnant?! There are a ton of people in blogland, and a ton of people IRL just popping out the babies! Most of the time I tend to think that the mother is neglected in favor of the coming child (for instance, people ask a mother-to-be how the BABY […]
