Stash Enhancement Philosophy

To soothe my bruised ego I went to Three Wishes this weekend to buy some goodies. I meant to buy yarn that was on sale, but none of it was speaking to me quite like the spinning fiber. I ended up buying some Wasatch Watercolors rovings, one a blend of purples, black and a hint […]

TNNA Post #3: Coming Home and the recovery knitting

Something that should have been in yesterday’s post, but I forgot. In the exhibit hall there in the Conjoined Creations booth there was a familiar site! (apologies for the craptastic photo) They had sold a lot of their soysilk laceweight yarn (Pastimes, the hand painted version and Pastimes, Too, the solid version) using Icarus as […]

TNNA Post #2: The Exhibit Hall, The Fashion Show and Saturday

If you missed my post yesterday, please take a look. I’m searching for a levenger or rollabind punch for cheaper than retail. The Exhibt Hall: HUGE. Ginormous even! There were even birds flying around in the rafters and swooping down at people while they tried to record podcasts. It was like 3 football fields stacked […]

Home

Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know I’m not dead.  I arrived home on Monday morning, but I haven’t blogged because I’ve been busy keeping my bed warm, wearing pajamas all day, and knitting like a maniac because I realized the Book Project 1 & 2 deadline was NOT the end of […]

Gifties and a wee peek

Isela tagged me, so here is the New Years Meme: What is the first thing you did in the New Year… Kissed C long and hard and then danced. What is the first thing you ate in the New Year…. A sandwich? Not sure… it was probably consumed at 4 in the am, so I’m […]

Year in Review

This may be terribly boring to you guys, so if it gets boring, go ahead and skip it.  It’s mostly just a place for me to mark my goals so I can keep track of them and my progress toward them. 2006 Revisited  I was looking back at my blog archives and seeing what my […]

HA!!

What Classic Movie Are You? personality tests by similarminds.com Why am I not surprised? Something dark and brooding with a morbid sense of humor. Quizlet ganked from Terri. In knitting news, the clogs are done and waiting to be felted, I have a new lovely wooden swift that I want to wind and wind and […]

Heaven all wrapped up in a hank!

So my plans to start Ariann were thwarted by the arrival of the yarn for BP1…. but how could I be upset when the yarn is THIS. This yarn is handdyed Bamboo Laceweight in the Mulberry colorway from PureKnits. I have not worked with bamboo in the past, so while it will take some research […]

I may start counting hours…

I am SO ready for longer days! I’m bored and humorless and utterly exhausted (and have only a vague idea why). I want to be at home sleeping rather than sitting at a desk next to a phone that’s just NOT ringing in an office that has almost no one in it. I feel like […]

Last of the Christmas Knitting

2 things before all others: 1. Thank you for all the well-wishes for my brother. He’s finally in his own room, so when I call him tonight I’ll let him know all the well-wishes from knitters. I think he’ll be shocked. 2. Pop on over to Fickleknitter and see Michelle’s brand new FO. Maya Abigail […]
