So I took an unexpected leave of absence….

… and I’m back. It was a bad week, and I didn’t feel like blogging negative things, so I just didn’t blog. But now I’m here and I’ve finished (but not blocked) the Black Pearl Yarns Cashmere pieces. You can see a really boring photo of them all folded up here. But instead of dwelling […]

Joseph's Scarf!

I finished Joseph’s scarf! Apologies for the overly-flashed bathroom mirror at work picture. Joseph is an artist, paintings mostly. Right now he’s in a landscape phase. But his first gallery show is opening tomorrow and he wanted something nice to wear and to commemorate it. C and I want artwork. Joey has a couple of […]

I forgot a title…. um… Indigo Icarus, there you go!

Today we shall overlook my knitting and distract you with pretties made by other people! Specifically That Laurie of Yarn Harlot guestblogging fame. You may recall that she taught us how to dye with indigo in her multi part post. Well, now we see the fruits of her labor! She knit this Icarus with the […]

You people are smart, help me out!

So this weekend?  I bought a printer.  A color laser printer.  The whole weekend has been sort of overshadowed by it.  This probably shows my tendancy to place greater importance on little things, but this printer signifies to me the venture into printing paper patterns.  This is scary for one major reason.  Money.  It means […]

Tidying up a bit….

In an effort to clean up things that I just haven’t gotten around to blogging about, here’s my purge! There’s some excitement and some acquisitions and some plain old every day stuff too 🙂 To start off with, I know this happened a long time ago (like… a month ago), but better late than never, […]

Sleight of Hand

I can’t show you knitting, so I’ll show you spinning instead! Here is a blurry picture of the corriedale roving I’ve spun up. I’m only including it because the true color is somewhere between that picture and THIS one. Unfortunately, my desk is not the best lighted place for taking accurate colored photographs. All said […]

On Pipe Dreams

My lovely, wonderful, good friend Kim (still miss you!) is in the process of posting some really great things about Pipe Dreams and daydreaming in general, and she asked for readers to post their own “pipe dreams”, especially if they could do anything at all for a living with no worry about money, then what […]

Spinning, Spinning, 1-2-3

I forgot to take a picture of my spindle, but here is the progress so far with the yarn. From left to right we have a merino silk blend (why I thought this would be a good thing to spin on my first REAL attempt, I will never know), the first attempt with the Icelandic […]

I meant to post something real today, but I got sort of busy.  I had this driving urge to clean off my desk at work and I’m just ITCHING to get home and eat the pork ribs I put in the crockpot this morning and maybe can some pears… or clean the living room… or […]

Green Gable FO

Hey everybody! Guess what I’m wearing RIGHT NOW!? That’s right! Green Gable! I finished it just moments before leaving for SnB, and it’s GREAT! C even likes it and he’s indifferent at best about most of my knits. Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece (80% cotton, 20% wool) in Mariner Blue. Pattern: Adapted from Green Gable […]
