Blog weirdness

Apologies for the missing sidebar material. I upgraded wordpress and it uninstalled my sidebar widgets, so I need to revert to my old install long enough to write it all down and THEN I can upgrade and reinstall it. Hopefully it will be back up today. ***Edited to Add:*** K, I think I got the […]

Bad Movie and Good Dress Experience

Note: I found a bit of errata stuff in the Boudica Socks, so I’ve posted them on the Errata page. On Tuesday night we decided to go see Transformers. We are movie fanatics, and also hardcore geeks, so the idea of going to see a movie that’s basically at tribute to CGI in the form […]

Random List for a Saturday

A bit of wee random listy-ness: The other day I was waiting in the car for Caleb to come back out of the gas station when a guy pulls up next to our car in the parking lot. But he’s not pulled into the handicap spot there, no… he’s pulled across the handicap spot (he […]

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 […]

Random Wednesday in the form of an update.

1. The Secret Tweed is out the door. The contract is signed, the pattern written and mailed out. You should be hearing about it again in Winter when it will be published. It might be the combination of the stress over this piece with the sharp drop in hormones, but I’m feeling rather low… and […]

Secret Tweedy Knitting!

It’s that time of year that seems to run away from you. When I was in school it seemed like May was always hasty and over before you knew it and I attributed this to dress rehersals, final exams, performances and papers all coming due at the close of the school year. But I’m not […]

Finished Tilia and Answer #1

Don’t forget the contest! E-mail me your answers to those 3 questions in that post and I’ll put you in the drawing for one of three prizes. #1 What is your dream job and why? My dreamjob is hard to describe… I’m pretty good at making myself miserable at any job I do, but if […]

At least last minute flights are good for knitting.

Thanks to everyone who left condolences. I will pass them on to my family. I started responding to everyone, but I got really busy and haven’t finished. I’ll try to send you all a note, but it might take me a while. I finally got my flight figured out (and by the by… no one […]

I had plans to post today, but my grandpa (Dad’s dad) passed away this afternoon. He was sick, but we thought he was getting better. He had cancer of the lining of his chest, and was getting chemo, but then he had a bad reaction to the chemo drugs. He was getting better from the […]
