In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
If not, you really should. Erin’s a hoot. But besides that, she’s got a heart as big as all outdoors. One of the women she works with just suffered a horrible loss in her family. Her cousin Michael shot and killed his 2-1/2 year old daughter Amy before taking his own life. Her family is [...]
I have green hair. Those of you who know me, or who have seen pictures of me on here may possibly have picked up on that by now. It still amuses me, though, when people comment on it. See, when you have funky colored streaks in your hair, you eventually kind of forget they are [...]
Y’all know who you are. Got it from Tealtown on Etsy. Want your own?
So, remember that hat I posted about on Wednesday? That I was hoping to finish in time to take to Vegas at the end of the month? Yeah. I finished it on Friday. (Thanks to Kris for modeling) I’m calling it the “I Hardly Know Her” Hat. It’s in honor of our good friend Ed [...]

As of last night’s knitting meetup at Barnes & Noble, the sweater has now been steeked and cut for the front opening and neck shaping! Now [...]
That’s right, folks, it looks like the end of the Palette Cardi/Amazing Technicolor Dreamsweater is in sight! Last night, I FINISHED THE SLEEVES!!! Which means, all that is left to do is the front steek, the button bands, and the collar. Woohoo! (Apologies for the blurry picture) I tried it on last night, and it [...]
Dateline: Bowie, MD Friday afternoon, reports state that two crazy knitters invaded the house of one “trillian42″ for a weekend of yarn shopping, knitting, friendship, and general silliness. Rumors indicate that these two knitters (known as “turtlegirl76” and “Ali”) kidnapped a Bowie native and forced her to accompany them to a location known as StitchDC, [...]
I kind of saw this one coming… Your Score: Hermione Granger Don’t fight it…it is who you are! You are super intelligent and try to help the world. Not just witches and wizards, but also house eleves. You are the natural born healer. Link: The Mega Harry Potter Character Test written by lucky_dip on OkCupid [...]
