I had reached that point where blogging was a chore I’d rather push to the bottom of the to-do list until it finally fell right off the page. I was trying to strike the right balance between being personable and personal while still being creatively interesting. And it just got boring for me. With the […]

Hurdles… they just keep coming
I woke early for a Saturday (although not terribly early for me) and watched the light change through my living room window from blue-gray to azure to brilliant white. And I thought about Twist & Knit. I have a new layout, and I have the patterns written, photography is done, and I just need to […]
Three is not too many, or New Years Ramblings
I began the year as I mean to go on. I woke up early (I always wake up early) and made a list of things I was going to do, starting with the laundry and I managed to do it all BEFORE we ran out of underwear or socks, which, I think, is a first […]
Thankful beyond measure
For C, who I couldn’t live without For my family For my friends For my SnB grrls For a warm cat in my lap For a roof over my head For a down comforter and a quilt For a job that I love with people I enjoy working with For an outlet for the knitting […]
Reaching
I feel so out of touch. It’s been a couple of really shitty and crazy months. I got depressed and realized that it was my job and a few of the people I worked with driving me batshit, and then looked for another job only to discover that I had some really crazy un-packed emotional […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Weekend Report and FO
For navel gazing, click on the cut. For the knitting content, here you go: Apologies for the crap photo… not a lot of light yet. Plus Dark Gray socks are notoriously hard to photograph. Anyway, these are Gift socks for a good friend. He has proven himself a worthy recipient of handknits (one half of […]
Giving Thanks by Gorging on Pie
Isela sent me a link to Anny’s blog where Anny registers her surprise at finding that her blog is reviewed in Vogue’s Knit Simple Holiday Issue. HOLY CRAP! I’m in there too! Go read Anny’s post to see the picture (don’t want to swipe it). I may have to go buy a copy! It’s been […]
