In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
OK, the lovely thing about knitting presents for babies? They are done FAST. (Hey, that’s my toe!) So, I finished knitting the sweater Saturday night during the previews before “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, seamed it yesterday, and went out today to find buttons. Kris was playing hooky from work, so he came with me. He’s usually [...]
I’ve had a great response to the Fitness-A-Long so far! Yay! We’ve got over 20 people already, and I’ve gotten comments from a couple of people asking if I was going to start a Ravelry group. I thought about it, but since I’ve got one blogger friend who isn’t a fiber artist (yet!) and one [...]
In fact, I’ve had a bit of a thing for him since back when he was on the late, lamented “Freaks and Geeks” as Nick Andopolis. He’s just adorable in a very real, teddybearish kind of way. And he’s just as awesome on “How I Met Your Mother“, which I also love. If you are [...]
Yes, I’m branching out in my color choices once again. Cascade Baby Chunky Alpaca in a lovely heathery orange (officially, color #552, but that’s just boring), from The Celtic Knot. (Can you guess I’ve been spending some time there lately? I love them!!!) My first thought was to do an Amanda Hat and Fourteen scarf [...]
So, I’ve been thinking about the comments you guys all left on Wednesday’s post. First of all, you have no idea how much those comments made the ache in my quads and abs a little less painful. Secondly, Betsy suggested something, and I think I like it. Who would be interested in a Fitness-A-Long? I’m [...]
OK, first, thank you all SO MUCH for your words of encouragement on yesterday’s post. It really means a lot to me that y’all have my back. Also, I believe that at least to start, I’ll be doing that dvd every other day, instead of every day like they want you to, because OHMYGODDOMYLEGSHURRRRRRRT! My [...]
No, not the knitting (I’ll get to that in a second). I’m working on a slightly different WIP – me. I’m tired of being overweight and squishy and unhealthy, so I am (once again) working on it. I had been walking on my treadmill for a while, but I got bored with it (I can [...]
That’s right. I am a child of the 80′s, and I am proud of it. I love 80′s music – I have an all-80′s playlist on my iTunes that is 685 songs. That’s almost 2 days long, with no repeated songs. So when I saw Mosey in the Spring issue of Knitty, I knew it [...]
What makes me say that? Rita’s Gelati – Wild Black Cherry with vanilla custard. I’m a happy woman.
Yes, it’s actual yarn pr0n!!! Presenting Scarlet Fleece Painted Merino, purchased at The Celtic Knot on a trip up there with my buddies Carrie, Maryanne, and Carol this week. It is already on its way to becoming has already become a pair of crocheted armwarmers, inspired by Carrie’s Blinding Armwarmers. Hers are Fibonacci-inspired (science and [...]
