In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
AGES ago (like, pre-MDS&W) Artsygal had a shop update that included a color I needed. No, truly needed. HAD to have. And really, it was all about the name. (I’m a sucker for a great color name. That name? “Drama Queen” Need I say more? And thank you all for your kind comments about the [...]
Well, almost-dragons, anyway. The Emerald is all assembled and just waiting for his eyes to be embroidered. I’m pretty happy with him. The Sapphire pieces are to the right left, and the Amethyst are to the left right (Sorry – was thinking from the POV of the Emerald dragon…). I am hoping to get them [...]
That’s how long it took me. I got home at 12:15, settled into the recliner at 12:30, and finished at 6:04. I’m not posting anything about it here for a while (and probably not until after a second reading), because I’m not spoiling anyone. Thursday evening, Kris and I popped in our copy of HP [...]
Ok, so this post has absolutely nothing to actually do with Harry Potter, but it’s THAT day, so I figured I might as well call it that. I’m posting this a little early, and then I am putting myself under a media embargo until after I finish the book. I don’t want to be accidentally [...]
So, Norberta #1 hasn’t made any actual progress since I posted the pics this weekend, but I did finish up Clue #3 on the Mystery Stole. Here’s how it looks as of now: Yes, that’s right – for you, my dear readers, I even broke out the blocking wires. (OK, and I really, really wanted [...]
So, at my knitting group meetup on Thursday, I finished the Log Cabin Baby Blanket! Amanda even took a shot of me being triumphant with her camera phone: (And yes, I am fully aware that I look like a complete dork) This gives a better idea of the colors: I ended up using 1 ball [...]
Or I’ll be in trouble with YPF BossLady. (Of course, she’s had enough trouble fighting with Lenny the Tech-Lack-of-Support Guy that she might not notice…) I’ve got a lot to catch up on, but it’s been one of those weeks, so I’ll try to get to it this weekend. Until then, pr0n! I ordered some [...]
So, since the lovely Jacque awarded me the title of Rockin’ Girl Blogger, I now get to do the same with 5 other people. PennyKarma – You crack me up with your tales of your crazy in-laws, and the Aldis, and your run-ins with crazy parents. How you keep that amazing sense of humor is [...]
First, thank you all for your lovely comments on my Molly Sleeves. I’m kind of in love with them, so it’s nice to see that other people like them as well. Now, on to the pr0n! This week, we have some pre-yarn. This is some spinning fiber I picked up at (all together now) Maryland [...]
So, I finally got to start the Mystery Stole. I didn’t have a chance this weekend, because we had a friend of ours visiting, so I waited to cast on until Monday night at my once-a-month knitting group. I made it most of the way through chart A while I was there, and finished up [...]
