In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
You guys remember that awful old knock knock joke, right? Sorry to bring up an old groaner, but you’ll understand momentarily what made me think of it.
Anyway, I thought I’d show you the goodies I picked up at the fibre tasting at fibre space on Friday. I went with a plan in mind [...]
That’s right – my Icarus shawl is done!
Pre-blocking, laid out on the kitchen table. Already big.
Taking a little bath. Sadly, this will be the last time I soak anything in this salad spinner. I’ve been using it for 4 years to soak my knits and handspun, and it developed a crack across the [...]
See, I’ve been pretty good lately. Haven’t been buying much yarn or fiber, because I really, really have been trying to work from the stash. And then Olga Tweeted on Wednesday that she needed a local to help her out with a design (She needed someone to work up a sample, so I can’t blog [...]
Yeah, I haven’t done any YPF posts in forever. I’m sure Cristi has booted me from the webring by now. But I’ve gotten a few new things that I wanted to show off.
First, if you are a Rockin’ Sock Club member and haven’t seen this yet, well, why the heck haven’t you opened [...]
OK, first, thank you all for being so sweet about my last post. I should let you know, though, that my friend wasn’t being as awful as that probably sounded. He and I have known each other since high school, and that’s just kind of how we are – we bust on each other. He [...]
My public. HA!
Anyway, y’all requested being able to see the dress to properly advise me, so here it is. And pardon the it’s-9:30-and-I-had-yoga-tonight look.
Front:
Back (Hello, tattoo #3!):
I think I’m leaning toward a shrug rather than a shawl, mostly for ease and not having to juggle it. Also, I think I’d rather not have [...]
So, we have two friends who are getting married next month (Yay!). I found a really cute dress yesterday while Yorkie and I were terrorizing the Annapolis Mall. I can’t find a picture of it on the Torrid website (of course), but it’s white with a big blue floral print, and black accents [...]
NaNoWriMo08… still in process.
Explaining to Meeko that claws + sweater = repercussions for the owner of said claws.
Plotting the placement of the shed.
Squinting at the sun (it was the only shot I got of the collar. )
Chatting with Lola.
I’m really thrilled with how it came out, and Kris loves it. It’s soft, it’s [...]
That’s right – it’s DONE! I finished the knitting yesterday morning, wove in the last of the ends last night, and it’s soaking now. I’m hoping it dries quickly so that I can get some good modeled shots of it tomorrow. In the meantime:
And now, I think I’m crazy enough that I’m going to attempt [...]
Yeah, I know. I said there would be knitting. I fibbed. Soon. Kris is feeling lazy-ish tonight, so we’re probably going to be watching movies. I’m going to get back to working on the Mystery Stole.
In the meantime, a FO, some planned projects, and a kickass gift.
First, the FO:
What I believe may be the single-handedly [...]
