Okie, I need test knitters for the Serpentine Mitts. I will be offering 3 sizes and I need a knitter for each of them. Sizing is measured by hand circumference. I can have yarn sent to you, but then I will require the pieces back. If you want to keep the mitts, then provide your […]

A gathering of random
1. A moment of silence, please, for Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time series. After battling a horrible disease, the writer of one of my favorite (and sadly unfinished *sob* fantasy series is dead). The thought of never knowing what happens with Rand, et.al. fills me with uneasiness, but thank you for the hours […]
Lack of blogging as well as lack of pictures.
I keep writing posts, but I don’t think any of them should be published. They’re all complex insensible rambling about things I have to do or things I hate doing, or things I am having a hard time focusing on. I need to just spend some time getting outside of my own head, but it […]
Random List sans Photos
In the forced absence of photographs I feel confident in blogging without pictorial evidence. But since my mind is random, you get a random list. I was talking to a coworker who quilts and she referred to her “stash”. It took me a second to realize she wasn’t talking about yarn. The shawl is progressing, […]
Aspen Saplings
I’ve begun the Aspen Grove shawl for Wooly Wonka Fibers. Last year most of my shawls were top-down triangles, and this year there have been a lot of stoles (although you haven’t really seen any of them, trust me). So for this one I wanted to do something different. Maybe something half-round. First I e-mailed […]
Update on Other People's FO's.
I don’t really have an of my own, so I’ll show off other people’s, k? I’ve been getting way behind on this, so there are quite a few. Check out Lisa’s finished Adamas shawl! It looks great! Amanda finished her Icarus shawl in Handmaiden Lace Silk! I am so envious! SoCherry’s finished Icarus has got […]
The wonders of Heirloom Tomatoes
This weekend I bought some beautiful heirloom tomatoes at the Downtown Farmer’s Market. I just love the colors of heirlooms. And their skins are thin and lovely instead of being bred to be thick and tough. They’re just the perfect taste of summer! One of them combined with other local ingredients (local artisan sourdough bread […]
Socks on Parade!
The baby sock parade continues! You can click the image for notes on the yarn and what projects the leftovers were from. I realized most of them were blues and greens, so I decided to branch out with the Koigu. And what discerning baby wouldn’t love Koigu socks 🙂 I have the laceweight yarn for […]
Finishing things up and packing
Holy crap! Deadline knitting right before you leave for a trip where you may not have internet access is NERVE RACKING! I got the lace piece done and it is BEAUTIFUL! Look for its publication in the Fall. Also, I finished a mitt pattern for Anne’s spinning fiber club. This was my first knitting with […]
Finally! With the Knitting!
Finally, I give you the long awaited (at least by me) knitting. It’s all Lorna’s Laces all the time around my house, apparently. Project #1 Socks for my C His birthday is coming up at the end of July, so it was high time I start a pair of socks for him in the Lorna’s […]
