In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
Did you guys WATCH that 4×100 Freestyle Relay? What a race! See, what you probably don’t know about me is that when I was a kid (erm… junior high-ish), I swam. I won’t say competetively, because I was never very good. I had pretty decent form, but I was just not very fast. I LOVED [...]
So, as of midnight on Friday, I was here: That’s 19 motifs completed out of 82, with ends all woven in. As of a few minutes ago, I am here: 30 motifs complete, so about 35%. And you will notice, no dangly ends. I decided after weaving in all the ends on Friday night that [...]
Go wish Cristi a Happy Birthday! And then, click on this and make yourself completely crazy. (Blame Steve. He sent me the link. Evil bastard.) Still progressing on the Ravelympics project. Should have a real update tomorrow later today.

So, you may remember a while back, when it rained so hard that a frog was stuck on my kitchen window? Welcome to the latest random wildlife sighting in my world. Tonight is trash night, so I went out the side door to grab the can and drag it to the curb. Before I stepped [...]
I’m lame, I know. I am just not feeling the blogging mojo right now – I think it’s a combination of things, not least of which is the weather, which is making me not feel like knitting. No knitting = little to blog about. Anyway, yes, I am still planning to update the design here, [...]
