Thanks for all the encouragement friends, I’m working on getting organized at work…hoping maybe that will help. Found out that some of the stuff I was stressing out about not getting done isn’t actually my job, so I’m getting that sorted out. And mostly trying to get into a routine. At least I get paid […]

Reaching
I feel so out of touch. It’s been a couple of really shitty and crazy months. I got depressed and realized that it was my job and a few of the people I worked with driving me batshit, and then looked for another job only to discover that I had some really crazy un-packed emotional […]

Book Meme from Anne.
1. Hardcover or paperback, and why? If I’m collecting the series, then hardcover because I only collect stuff I’d read over and over. Or if I plan to read it while knitting, then it should be a hardcover. Mostly I will only buy a paperback if I’m less than enthusiastic about the book or if […]

Knitting Guild or How I didn't make an arse of myself.
So I spoke last night at the knitting guild meeting and it went really well! There were probably… 60 people there and it was standing room only in the back. I started out with a bit of my design philosophy and a slide show presentation showing some of the inspiration for designs. Then they started […]
Ahh Trekking, how do I love thee….
A while back I bought a skein of Trekking in a gorgeous array of burgandy and wine colors. My notes in Ravelry tell me that I got it at the Needlepoint Joint in Ogden, and now I recall carrying it around and petting it on our last SnB knitters outing to Ogden. So when the […]
Cinnibar is lonely.
This strange and highly photoshopped* image was meant to show you that I’ve knit the front, back and both sleeves for my Cinnibar pullover, and yet, it’s been sitting in that state for too many days. Why, you may ask. Well… because I’m a dumbass. When I bought the yarn, I was so excited about […]
Blankets for Veterans
A friend of mine who’s husband is in the Army (and being deployed again) sent me this e-mail and I thought maybe some of you would be interested in helping out. Introducing Soldiers’ Angels Operation Hug-A-Hero – “Honoring Our Veterans One Stitch At A Time” Patti has asked our crochet team to help provide holiday […]
holding in the sighs of relief
I finished the layout and formatting for the Aspen Grove Shawl, but then in talking to my Mom on the phone, I realized that I’m teaching an intro to lace class on Saturday and I haven’t even put together the handouts yet. *headdesk* Clearly, I know what I’ll be doing the rest of the week. […]
