Coraline Completed
Now for a finished sweater — Pattern: Coraline (ravelry link) by Ysolda Teague Yarn: Sirdar Balmoral, which I bought in a dingy old bag full from KnitCraft in Odgen, UT. But turns out that the yarn has been un-discontinued (at least in the UK)! I’m not sure how the new version resembles the old version […]
"While You Were Out"
Since I can’t stand to move on without at least a cursory mention of my time away, here it is in list form. Things I did during my summer vacation blog-break: 1. Kept my living room clean 2. Made my own lunches and brought them to work. 3. Finished and photographed Adromeda. 4. Finished and […]
What will they think of next….
By way of clarification, Brother #2 from yesterday is engaged. And getting married in November. A bit soon, I think, but then again, I’m the old curmudgeonly sister who dated her then boyfriend for 4.5 before getting married. And in case you need a laugh to get through the rest of this week (and who […]

Y'all want to help me out?
There is a function in my store front for reviews. I hadn’t used it previously, but then a couple of people left reviews for some of my patterns, so I’m soliciting reviews. If you’d like to leave a review of a pattern: 1. Go to My Storefront. And log in. 2. Find the product(s) you […]
HA!
Having a) grown up in Southern California and b) just returned from visiting family there for a long weekend, this was startlingly accurate 🙂 more graph humor and song chart memes I do realize this is a cop-out blog post, but I’m so astonishingly overwhelmed right now with my regular job and my health issues, […]
Exhausted
It’s been all I can do this week to make sure I blog everyday. When I get home I am tired and end up knitting a few half-hearted rows on my shawl and then ignoring it for a few hours while I doze in and out of sleep while watching a movie. I’m at a […]
