Vessel Wednesday – Sneaky Blue Pot
I’ve long admired Allison‘s Vessel Wednesday posts, so I thought I’d start a series of my own since I have a soft spot for vessels of all sorts. Pots, bowls, cups, boxes, etc…. If it has a function, but is beautiful in its own right even while it serves that function, then it gives me […]
Eye Candy Friday: Silk Yarn
I love this yarn with the same fierce passion that I normally reserve for the hatred of anything pink. The fact that this pink yarn has garnered as much love as it has should tell you something. It’s AMAZING! It’s destined to grow up and become a shawl, but for now it is much petted. […]
Sweater Madness, Part 2
This is where we get deep into the madness part. And it’s a picture heavy brand of madness, so my apologies to those on Dial-up. So I’m working on the EPS still, but I hear the siren song from the many piles of yarn stowed around my house. While sock yarn is singing and crooning […]
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? […]
Books from me, Books for me
I made quite a few books this weekend which are now up for sale in my etsy shop if you’re interested, but I also got a package from YesAsia.com! Japanese knitting books are fabulous. If you can read charts, then you can knit from one of them, and their combinations of knits and purls and […]
Beautious Things – Part One
Eva asked where I got the earrings that I was wearing in the Zephyros pictures, and I thought I had lost the card, but I found it today. I bought them from a vendor at my Local Craft/Farmer’s Market when her business name was lemonmaroon, but she’s now got her work under her name at […]
The SCHTUFF
So when I’m really busy I tend to look for ways to organize, so I buy a label maker, or a new bookshelf, or some closet organization stuff. This time it was a new bag. I got the Bamboo Green Haiku bag from Scout! I love it! It’s small (which keeps me from hauling around […]
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 […]
Horrah for the return of pictures!
To christen the newly returned camera, I blocked the alpaca Seraphim Shawl I’ve been studiously ignoring since I finished it in July. Pattern: My Seraphim Shawl pattern, available through the store here. Yarn: Wild Geese Fibres alpaca, 90% natural black and 10% dyed blue. The skein had 1300 yards and I still have a pretty […]
