Ravelympics Update 4

And some other random stuff. :)
So current status of the shawl is…

52 of 82 motifs complete. Progress has slowed a bit, obviously. I’m thinking I might take a break from it and start the skirt, just to break the monotony. Plus, carrying around 4 different colors of yarn and changing them [...]

Grab a Seat.

This is going to be a long one, I’m warning you. You might want to grab yourself a fresh cup of coffee or tea, and possibly take a potty break before starting.
OK, you ready? Really, go pee. I’m not kidding.
So, one of my goals on the cruise was to finally finish what [...]

The Anti-Cristi

See, I’m never going to be as fabulous and elegant as Cristi and her glass of wine. I’m really more of a beer kind of girl. So, since I finished my Ribbon Clapotis, I thought I should have the FO photoshoot as something of a more me-esque homage to her Ivy League Vest [...]

Another FO!

OK, the lovely thing about knitting presents for babies? They are done FAST. :D

(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. [...]

Stripey Baby!!

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 [...]

I Am A Child of the 80’s

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 [...]

Could It Be?

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 [...]

TWO Finished Objects!

OK, so only one of them was my work. The other one was my brother’s.
Presenting Something Pink, and my kickass new ‘do!

Please ignore the vaguely demonic facial expression.  Not quite sure what that’s all about…
So, I have BANGS!  I haven’t had bangs in forever.  And he took out the blue streaks but left one [...]

New Hat Design!

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 [...]

I Closed My Eyes…

Drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew.
Far far away someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do.

I wore my coat with golden lining
Bright colors shining, wonderful and new
And in the East the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do.

A crash of drums, a flash of [...]
