New Pattern, Ameliorate (Plus Coupon)
ameliorate: verb -to make better or more tolerable Every now and then, I hear from someone who says they like my designs...they just wish I put them out more frequently. Now my first response is to be flattered. That's actually a lovely thing to say. My second response is a [...]
Repairs
I'm undertaking a bit of sock surgery. The feet on one of the socks for Book The Third are a bit too long for the person who is going to model them. So I've picked out the end, ripped back the toe and an inch or so of the foot, [...]
Engineering Sphere
Back when I was a (delusional) engineering student, I had to take my fair share of physics classes. Some might say slightly more than my fair share. One of my professors had an odd and somewhat alarming propensity to set us problems that involved livestock. Cows on ice skates. Sheep [...]
Advance Planning
Next month is going to be busy. It's the good sort of busy. Actually it's two good sorts of busy, first the super productive slightly frantic sort, then the relaxed chill sort. It should all be fun, but it does require a bit of advance planning. So, I'm polling the [...]
Blocked
One morning next month I will wake up, collect a large box of knitting and props, and head off to do the photo shoot for KCC2. This is both exciting (because holy wow is seeing all the pictures fun) and terrifying (because it's the point in the process where the [...]
Reveal
You recall our little trip the other weekend? You recall I mentioned I was knitting as we drove around? But for some mysterious reason I didn't show you the knitting (unusual behavior for a knitting blogger). That's because it was stealth birthday knitting. But the birthday has come and gone, [...]
Instant Gratification
It's starting to get cool. Not cold (cold comes later) but just slightly cool. It's that time of year when you haven't gotten out the winter clothes yet, but your summer clothes aren't quite warm enough (sorry southern hemisphere folks, I know it's only doing that here, not there). It's [...]
Ran Away, Part 4
Alrighty, this is getting ridiculous. We were gone just over 48 hours, you'd think I could tell you all about this in less than half a dozen posts. When we last spoke, we were pulling away from the Schaefer yarn outlet. After such an experience, we needed something restorative. We [...]
Ran Away, Part 3
When last I left you, The Boy had spotted the Schaefer outlet sign, informed me of this discovery, and graciously redirected the car. We pulled up and saw the yarn waving at us through the open doorway. Someone was out front working in the garden. I asked if we could [...]
