In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.

Another FO!

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 [...]

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 Knitty, I knew it [...]

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 [...]

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 good friend Ed [...]

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 [...]

Sursa!

AKA the Amazing Four-Day Shawl. Cast on Thursday at knitting and finished last night. I got a fair amount of the ruffle done Saturday night while shadowing the sound tech for Enchanted April (I’m running sound for some of the performances) and finished it off while watching “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” last night. So, [...]

Hold Me Closer…

…Spanish Daaaaaaaaaancer. Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s “Tiny Dancer”, but mine’s funnier. So yes, it’s done! Can you tell I love it? 00 Because I do!

I Don’t Want To Discuss It.

No, the frigging shawl isn’t done yet. Three thousand stitches, people. It’s a LOT to bind off. So, I’m still slogging through that, and nothing else is progressing at the moment. I did, however, finally get some pictures of my finished Cherie Amour. So, there we have it! I’m really quite thrilled with how it [...]
