Sick and Tired, literally

There are nasties going around and we’ve got them. C was puking night before last, while I am doing my very best to fight it all off and hoping that I’m not just prolonging the inevitable. I missed SnB last night *sniff* and stayed home and slept instead, hoping that I can be healthy enough […]

… because this is a cooking post with no pictures. Since I started my new job, actual serious cooking has been rare and coming in spurts. I am tired when I get home and we usually eat sandwiches or order a pizza or something similarly lazy. But yesterday I started thinking about what to have […]

It is time….

The Days are too short for a full-time job and knitting photography to dwell happily in the same house. Flash photography gives my knits a florescence that they definitely DON’T have.

Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Heavyweight in Beryl Needles: 3.0 mm (US 2.5) Crystal Palace […]

New Errata for Aspen Grove and Cleite are up on the Errata Page. Since there aren’t any downloads of either of these patterns, I can’t reauthorize downloads. But I’ve let Anne know.

Thankful beyond measure

For C, who I couldn’t live without For my family For my friends For my SnB grrls For a warm cat in my lap For a roof over my head For a down comforter and a quilt For a job that I love with people I enjoy working with For an outlet for the knitting […]
