In which I dance around in craziness.

Things are simultaneously crazy and boring… how does THAT work?!  I’ve got a bunch of things I’m trying to get around to, but i’m also very bored in general.  So I’ve been knitting while I read HIPPA and Human Research Standards training presentations.  As a result the Spearfish Socks I’m making from Gems Pearl in […]

Presenting… The Riverwide Scarf

I cast off on Friday, blocked it Friday night and took pictures this weekend. Voila! Fini! Yarn: Renaissance Dyeing Crewel Wool in lots of colors. Pattern: My own, soon to be available as a kit from Renaissance Dyeing, and possibly as a pdf… we’ll see. Needles: US 4 (3.5mm) Addi Turbo 32″ circular. Gauge: 5 […]

"Prooogress, we're making Prooooooogress!"*

Now that I have relaxed a bit, I’m finally making some progress. The remaining yarn for the Renaissance Wool scarf came in the mail, and I’m in the home stretch! And as you can see, the Spearfish Sock is moving along slowly, but surely. It’s nice to be knitting things that make sense again. And […]

M is for….

Mama! This is my Mom! Her name is Claudia. She is the often overworked and under-rested mother of 7 children, and for most of her working life she’s been a Teacher. Mom taught me to read, and write, something that I can NEVER thank her enough for. Reading has opened worlds to me that I […]

The Stash Enhancement Experience

First off, have you ever wanted Addi Turbos to have pointier tips? Read Grumperina’s post and then send in your thoughts to the Skacel company! I’ve already sent my e-mail. Second off then, here’s the STUFF. I bought a 2+ pound cone of 2/4 Highland Tweed from Webs. At the price it was, it was […]

Fo and A Plunge

So I’ve FINALLY got an FO for you. Is it just me or does it seem like it’s been a REALLY long time since I finished anything? Yarn: Lang Jawoll Superwash sock yarn (75% superwash wool, 18% nylon, 7% acrylic) in color 8364 (Denim and Light Blue Ragg) Pattern: Basic Toe up sock done with […]

Hmm….

I’ve had this window open for about 2 hours hoping to be inspired on what to write.  I’ve still got nothin’.  OK, I take it back.  I like apricots.  How’s that for content? The scarf was progressing, but I’ve got a shooting pain in my left elbow from a nerve issue in my neck that […]

I’m absolutely crazy. Thought you all should know. If you’re interested in why, keep reading, I’ll cover it at the end so you can skip it if you’re bored. I keep sniffing my wrists. I got some lovely perfumes from an etsy shop and then realized when the package came that the artisan was in […]

Silk and a Shitload of Stitches

On the left you have the beginnings of the scarf for Andie. I have swatched, washed and measured, and as a result I have cast on 301 stitches! That basically took my whole morning commute, but the balls are all wound, the stitches are cast on, the pattern is even charted, so all I have […]

Jammy Goodness

I celebrated my Independence Day holiday by proving my independence from tradition! 🙂 I did absolutely nothing that could be considered traditional for the 4th of July. No BBQ, no fireworks, no shopping. I started the day off by cleaning my kitchen, tidying my living room and folding laundry (all things that have moved down […]
