In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
For years now, I’ve heard people raving about yoga and how good it makes you feel and how awesome it is. I have a few yoga dvds, and I thought, yeah, it was ok, but it wasn’t all that. Tonight, I learned what they were talking about. Monday night, Kris was bs’ing with Carrie on [...]
So, I posted that song title meme, and this is what has been wrought: See, I’ve been a Billy Joel fan since I was a kid. Specifically, since the “An Innocent Man” era. I listened to that and “Greatest Hits Vol I and II” about a billion times. Eventually, I amassed all of his albums [...]
Yeah, because MS4 wasn’t enough, I started a new project for myself. That is the start of the “Some Like It Hot” gloves from Annie Modesitt’s book Romantic Hand Knits. I’m using Knit Picks Risata in “Burgundy”. And yes, they are on double-points. Try not to faint. And a little something for Amby: Since I [...]
Did these tonight. The green one is for Mom (HA! You thought I’d say me!), the other one is for me. These are a little bigger than the earlier one (8″ x 9″ instead of 6″ x 8″), which is now my official camera case. And on the back: I don’t have cute little labels [...]
I spent today bonding with a sadly-neglected member of my crafty army – my sewing machine. I’ve gotten seriously bitten by the sewing bug lately, so much so that Kris and I are in negotiations for an upgraded machine for my birthday/Christmas present this year. The first thing I did, well… I can’t show you. [...]
Yes, another one. Blame Pyewacket again. But first, thank you for your lovely compliments on the February Lady. I’m quite thrilled with it, personally. For anyone who hasn’t made it yet, I’d definitely recommend choosing a size with zero or slightly negative ease. I think it fits more flatteringly that way, personally. And I’ve [...]
Just a quick post before I head out to meet Carrie, Jaime and Heather for dinner and (finally) “Mamma Mia”. We’re having a girls’ night out while Kris is off playing AirSoft with Alex. We caught a quick break in the rain today, just long enough to get a picture of the finished February Lady [...]
And so it begins! Clue #1 came out yesterday, and I finished it up a few minutes ago, after a relaxing Friday night watching “A Fish Called Wanda” and a morning of Kris playing BioShock. And before you tell me I’m moving fast, someone in the MS4 Ravelry group was done yesterday afternoon. Here is [...]
Ok, not quite. But we’re almost there! Since Hanna and Ike are making their way toward us this weekend, Kris and I decided we’d better get a move on and get the rest of the rafters up. Wednesday and last night we finished up the wall panels, and then tonight we put up the last [...]
Clearly, I’m hooked on these lists. I stole this one from Pyewacket. And yes, she and I graduated the same year. Class of 1991 rules! The rules: A.) Go to musicoutfitters.com B.) Enter the year you graduated from high school in the search function and get the list of 100 most popular songs of that [...]
