Entranced
I swear it was supposed to be a swatch. A quick, simple little swatch to see if I liked the way that stitch and that yarn played together. Turns out, I do. So now the swatch is just about to reach cowl length (though admitedly, I like the sort of [...]
Strappy
So the straps were absolutely positively the way to go. The straps, in fact, quite make the slipper. Allow me to demonstrate. Awfully cute, no? How about one more, this time from the front. (Erm, and if this looks suspiciously like two left feet, that's because it is. My display [...]
Decisive
The very day I showed you The Tattoo Coloring Book and confessed my plans to make use of its lovely images for a fit of napkin making, I happened to find myself in a store that sells embroidery stuff. Funny how that happens. Let me pause for a moment and [...]
Signs
If this recent trip had a theme, it would have to be embracing the unexpected. The trip itself came up on short notice, and it took a wee bit of finagling to make it practical for me to come along. But we sorted it out. As a result, we went [...]
Making up for lost time
Despite the previous rocky start, slipper the second is now well underway. In fact, by the time you read this, it may well be done (not to draw back the curtain on the glamorous world of knit blogging too much, but I've been known to take advantage of the afternoon [...]
Unexpected Development
I'm accustomed to falling prey to random fits of yarn lust. That's pretty normal at this point. But my final purchase of the trip was something rather more unexpected. I bought a coloring book. More specifically, I bought The Tattoo Coloring Book, and it is astonishingly awesome. I highly recommend [...]
Hypnotic
So Wednesday's trip to Webs was lovely and totally met my yarn acquisition needs for the week month near future. I had absolutely no intention of seeking out more yarn on the trip. But somehow, completely without my conscious intervention, this happened. I just sort of fell in and couldn't [...]
In which the lighting is bad, but the yarn is good
Wednesday I got up early, dropped The Boy off at that pesky work thing, and ventured west. A few hours later, I found myself in front of Webs. Now, I've shopped on Webs' site and listened to their podcast for years. One of my first thoughts upon realizing we [...]
What Price Notes
Remember the slipper? The slipper from back in October? I found I wanted it to have a mate. So I grabbed the yarn, felt terribly clever that I'd packed the needles up with the yarn, and started knitting. Now, I wasn't quite clever enough to have held on to my [...]
In Which an Opportunity Arose
Occasionally, in the course of The Boy's job, the need will arise for him to make a last-minute jaunt. Sometimes, this means I get to haul myself out of bed very early and drop him at the airport. Sometimes, it means I look at my schedule, do a bit of [...]
