New Pattern Posted
I know, I know. I’m a bad blogger, I have no excuses. Maybe this will make up for it a bit?
Malika is a simple market bag with a diagonal mesh and an optional pocket. It’s great for stashbusting small amounts of cotton/linen/hemp yarns, and knits up super fast. Download the pdf […]

It’s lookin’ a bit dusty around here
No, I didn’t forget I had a blog. I’ve just been distracted for the past, oh, 8 months or so. Well, partially. I’ve also been really boring.
I had a major knitting block for a big chunk of that. I think the crunch to get Christmas knits done, and then […]

I think I have commitment issues.
At least when it comes to knitting, that is. I currently have 3 pairs of socks, 3 sweaters, 1 regular scarf, and 1 lace scarf on the needles. Several of these are near completion. One sweater only needs 15 more rows of garter stitch sleeve. Yet, what have I been sitting here doing all morning? […]

*crickets*
Oh dear. I seem to have neglected the blog for quite a while this time. Whoops? First I got sucked back into Ravelry full time, then LiveJournal…first for the last Harry Potter, and now for the new tv season. Not that I post there either, I just read. I’m not very good with this whole […]

Of cars, grey hair, and fiber-y things
First up? Cars. Last, oh…January or so (I have no real concept of time) Adrian, best friend of Chris, decided he wanted to enter the oh-so-classy world of demolition derby. Chris, being the good friend he is, got roped into helping him get his car ready. After an entire week(!) of […]

And we’re done
I was too busy following the fiasco at LiveJournal to post about it yesterday, but yeah. Finished. No pictures yet, none of the ones I took turned out. Overall, i’m kind of meh oh the FO. I love the pattern…it’s easy, cute, and quick, but the fit is not the best. It bunches up a […]

Must. Resist.
Wicked is almost finished. All I have to do is finish the bottom band, the sleeve bands, and seam up the pocket. So why am I ignoring this in favor of swatching for Zeebee? I have issues, I know. BUT. I was sitting here looking at all the recent posts about it, and I realised […]

Wicked is definitely the right name
My shoulders are killing me. I guess that’s what I get for casting on for Wicked and refusing to stop until I finished the increases. Sheesh. I know I should probably give myself a break today, but I really want to finish this ASAP. I don’t know why…maybe it’s just the thought […]

You know, I really hate the subject line
Ravelry has eaten my brain, seriously. I keep meaning to post here, but then I start playing over there, and well…you know how it goes. Anywho.
Newly dyed roving! This is destined for socks, either when I get over my fear of uneven spinning or when I talk Chris into buying a spinning wheel and out […]

Ravelry!
Just a quickie post, as i’ve spent the whole day playing with the most awesome site/community evar. Seriously, Ravelry is great…something the knitting community has needed for awhile now. Blogging is great and all, but it really doesn’t allow the same type of interaction as this does. Its so organize-y and chock full of nifty […]
