Rabble Rousers Yarn Giveaway, Last Chance
Giving all this yarn away has been so much fun. Well, there may possibly have been the occasional teeny tiny twinge when I mail out the oh-so-pretty goodies, but that's only to be expected. The fun parts far outweigh any such ignoble feelings. I must see if I can do [...]
Sidetracked
The sock, it is not yet finished. It was a productive weekend in lot of other ways though (if by productive you'll take 'relaxing' and 'enjoyable'), so I'll pretend I don't mind the delay. This is, of course, a filthy lie and the delay is actually driving me bonkers. But [...]
Bits and Pieces
There is absolutely no coherent theme to my life this week. This means there is very little in the way of cohesion in the blog posts either. Sorry guys, it's that sort of day week life. So, in no particular order: Rabble Rousers is up on amazon now if [...]
The Best Laid Plans
Going from 'hmm, well that's an idea' to 'hey, look, a book' is a lengthy process (a fair number of books actually get stuck somewhere in the middle and never make it out of brains and onto paper). There are a lot of interdependent steps and a lot of bits [...]
Rabble Rousers Giveaway, Take Three
Do you guys mind if I do this giving yarn away thing again? I'm hoping not, because I'm having fun! I've got a skein of Handmaiden Silk Twist to give away. This is the yarn I used for the Tumult cowl in Rabble Rousers. I've loved Handmaiden (and their sister [...]
More or Less a Sock
The weekend saw some serious sock progress. The lonely sock now has about 2/3 of a mate (just down past the gusset). I feel there should be some sort of tasteless joke in there, but I'll leave filling it in as an exercise for the reader. For today, I'll take [...]
If I Lie Down, Perhaps it Will Pass
I'm finding myself obsessed with the idea of making about 14 zillion (or, alternately a dozen or so), of the little felt cubes I linked to on the last post. The sort of obsessed where I've taken measurements of my shelves and sourced materials (fancy pants industrial felt that comes [...]
Nearly Unheard Of
Shocking though it doubtless will be, I've actually done some knitting. Yeah, real live actual knitting. Not swatches, not double checking a fiddly bit for some giant upcoming project (I'm looking at you, next book...I'm looking at you with an evil squinty glare), not aimless yarn petting. Knitting. The sort [...]
I’ll Be Out Back
People, I love you. Really I do. But just lately, I've had to make a choice. I can spend my evenings at the computer typing reams of trenchant prose. Or I can go outside and do this. And, if forced to pick, well, fire wins. I'm sure you understand. I'll [...]
Lurker
This is my mailbox. And yes, yes the top of it is covered in pollen. The plants are up to all sort of illicit activities and I can't keep it clean from one week to the next. If it offends you, you're welcome to wipe it off. Sweep the porch [...]
