Rhinebeck, Critter Style
I'm home. I'm home, and I have a nearly ridiculous list of things I want to tell you about the trip. I fear you'll grow rather sick of it by the time we're done. There was yarn, of course, and blankets. There was unexpected fibery goodness in unlikely spots, completely [...]
The Knitting Police
Every now and then, I get a very nice email from a very kind knitter asking if I'd mind terribly if she or he made some little tweak to a pattern. Perhaps knit a sock toe up instead of cuff down or used a different cast on or did the [...]
Piles and piles and piles
What was that? Not enough yarn around here lately? Well, I was just at Rhinebeck, and I do have every intention of bombarding you with just a wee bit of yarn from that little adventure. But Rhinebeck is being followed by an honest-to-goodness vacation (the sort where I'm trying not [...]
I’ll Take It
I'm not the craigslist type. The lack of apostrophe bugs the ever-living crap out of me. More importantly, I am working hard to pare down what I own (someday I will have a tiny house), and shopping for new things doesn't quite fit with that plan. So it was rather [...]
Let Them Eat Cake
This is the recipe from the towels shown in the post from last week. I'm not typing it up all proper and presentable, because that would rather go against the spirit of the thing now wouldn't it. The handwriting (oh and that monkey) are half the fun. Now to be [...]
Slow Going
This is the current sock. Well, actually, this is the current sock as photographed yesterday. I dearly hope that it is now somewhat longer and more sock like in appearance. Life has not been providing me the recommended amounts of knitting time over the last few weeks, and progress on [...]
Printing…not on paper
I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a very good chance that most everyone in your life has a birthday more or less every year. I, personally, find this super irritating. I've decided I'm just about as old as I need to be, and most folks I know (at [...]
Well and Truly Scattered
I have so many things to tell you, enough that I've actually made a list! Like a long list on paper in bright colors of ink with special doodles on it to indicate the urgency of various topics. I need to tell you all about the photo shoot (short version [...]
Shrub, Part III
If you've been following along for the last few weeks, you might remember I started a shrub a little while ago. I reported on step one (in which we chop and sugar), and step two (in which much vinegar is used). Step three was waiting. Days and days and days [...]
The Proper Tools (with Eucalan Giveaway)
This Friday and Saturday, I'll be off clambering over buildings, perching innocent friends on precarious railings, and spending way too much time lint rollering other people. In other words, it's the photoshoot for KCC3. That means the last few days have been a giant blocking extravaganza here at Chez Violence. [...]
