For this third installment of the Blogger’s Silent Poetry Reading, I’m digging WAY back into my childhood. With a linguist-at-heart, Mother, who reads voraciously and acted in community theater, I had a childhood full of classic literary references and accents randomly interjected into conversation. But my mom had a poem memorized that she used to […]

Go ahead, make my day….
Since I’ve now been tagged twice (by Romi and Laura, I figure I should get on it and do the damn meme already 😉 Also because I’m not ready to show you the Zephyros shawl yet like I thought I would be. 1. Totally not in the knitting world, but Dooce.com makes my day every […]
Just a heads up…
There is a minor errata for the Woven Cable Scarf and Wrap. The chart is correct, but on Row 29 of the written instructions only, it should read: “sl, k1, *p2, k2, p2, Cr3R, Cr3L, p2, Cr3R, Cr3L, p2, Cr3R, Cr3L, p2, k2*,p2, k2″ As always, errata are listed here. If you purchased the pattern […]
Biggotry in the Tea World
Just for clarification, I like my tea with half and half or cream. Either one is good with me. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about what should go in tea, but don’t be a hater ‘cuz I like the cream 😉 Love and kisses, Miriam
Winter Sunday
The morning sun is struggling through the approaching storm clouds outside, but I am bundled in flannel pj pants and a hoodie, with felted clogs on my feet. In a minute I will go downstairs, cut myself a piece of Blackberry Galette* and pour a big handthrown pottery mug full of tea, British style with […]
Puttering Flutter
The flutter scarf pattern is basically written, but I can’t decide how best to block the ruffles. In that first picture you can see my attempt at pleats. I really don’t like it. It’s too harsh and pointy. Not ruffly like I wanted. The second time I blocked it I tried doing the ruffles separately, […]
A Random Wednesday Post
1. I feel super klutzy lately. I have been running into walls (although I think that has more to do with a messed up equilibrium due to sinus issues than klutzyness) and I managed to bruise the INSIDE of my right index finger and my left shin (in two separate incidents) QUITE badly. Although I […]
All up and running
My site is all up and running again (at least as far as I can tell). Let me know if you see any bugs. The shop has been tested and is running again as well. In completely unrelated news, Heath Ledger has died. Be still my heart.
I posted this before, but it got eaten when they switched my site back to the old server. My Uncle’s server company was sold to another company who moved my site without notifying me. So I just got up and nothing worked. The store is DEFINITELY not working, but I can’t even get into the […]
A Laugh to Start the Weekend Off Right
Anne sent me a link to this and it made my rather harried and stressed day much better. Thought you might enjoy it. And I made it through a week of blogging every day! (At least weekdays… I hardly ever blog on weekends) Let’s see if I can continue the trend 🙂 It’s not like […]
