I’ve been asked to review a knitting book for a magazine and I made the mistake of mentioning it to a coworker. He asked “So how do you get that gig?” I paused…. do I tell him? Do I make something up? Do I say I was chosen at random from all the people who […]

It’s been an insanely busy morning, full of crazy work things and the 3 seemingly simple things on my ‘to do today’ list haven’t even been touched. So I think it’s time for blogging! Here’s my random Friday. The shuttle bus driver yesterday almost ran into the barrier in the middle of the road because […]
Hello my lovelies! Knitting continues, and pictures of it continue to be boring, so you get a picture of my cat! Hello cat! This is his new favorite spot. Right on top of the couch, where the air conditioning blows on him, and he is suitably nearby for petting while we watch movies or read. […]
Blessed
I had a good weekend, having spent Saturday trying to relax, rejuvinate and get back all that I’ve lost in the last few months of hectic, but it didn’t come flooding back until Sunday. Sunday was C’s birthday, and I spent the morning (while he was sleeping) obsessively frustrated with the Hidcote shawl* and stressing […]

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 […]
