So Then I Fixed the Furnace
Some time yesterday afternoon I decided I'd clean up the kitten corner in the basement. (The corner where the kittens' litter boxes live...the kittens themselves have free reign of the house. Don't worry that they're stuck downstairs or anything, two of them are in my office right now as I [...]
You Should Know
There are a few things you should probably know about me. First, I often take my socks on field trips to things like yarn store events or TNNA. When I take them on these field trips, I like them to look their best, so I often take them on sock [...]
More Science
Back in May (before the earth went hurtling into the sun and it scorched us all with its searing blinding death rays), I told you guys about my sage plants and the delicious syrup we made from their flowers. In the meantime, we've made another batch or two of syrup [...]
The Order of Things
By this point, you guys know me. You know there is always a Plan. Now the details may change, and the specifics are sometimes a bit hazy, but the existence of the Plan is constant. The Plan keeps me on track. The Plan is how I know what the next [...]

I mentioned earlier that one of the best parts about TNNA was meeting many of the people I'd only ever interacted with online. One of the folks I had the pleasure of (finally) meeting in person was the lovely Anne Hanson (she of knitspot fame). Now it's more or less [...]

Crocus vernus Knit Along
Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet is now well and truly launched. The paper version is out there. You can order it from me, ask for it at your local yarn store, or order it from amazon (amazon occasionally says out of stock, but I've sent them hundreds of books and they damn [...]
You’ve Got to Have Rules
One of the best parts about TNNA is getting to put faces to the people you've been communicating with (sometimes for years) only through email. This time, I had the pleasure of finally meeting Chrissy Gardiner in person. She's a member of the Visionary Authors group and was at the [...]
TNNA Recap
So, as promised, a recap of TNNA. It will, alas, have to be a bit brief. I seem to have managed to pick up some sort of cold bug while there and am trying to take it easy today in the hopes of fending it off quickly. So, first, what [...]
