More Milestones
I showed you last month when I had half of the swatches for Book the Third finished up, so it seems only fair to show you the second half. Now of course I'm mean, and I want to keep the details secret, so I'll only show you a tiny picture [...]
Restraint
In a fit of unexpected restraint, I managed to purchase only two yarns at the Great Lakes Fiber Show. Well, three skeins, but two of them are the same and will be used to make a pair of socks, so that's practically only one skein, right? And they're both eye [...]
More Critters
Earlier this month, we visited Maryland Sheep & Wool and got in our yearly recommended dose of sheepy goodness. Yesterday, we stopped by the Great Lakes Fiber Show to round out our furry animal intake. We also consumed our yearly ration of sugar-coated fried dough products (yes I know funnel [...]
Summer Sale
Somehow it slipped my mind that it's a holiday weekend and the unofficial start of summer and all those lovely things. Just to ward off any of that silly 'the summer isn't for knitting' nonsense, I thought I'd have a little sale to encourage you to keep right on knitting, [...]
Stash Augmentation
The Great Lakes Fiber Show is this weekend. We're planning to head down first thing tomorrow morning (and hopefully beat the worst of the heat). I'm seriously considering trying to bring back the parasol. Maybe some sort of frilly one like these? Outside is much less obnoxious without Day Star [...]
Science
We have two sage plants in our back yard. They're at least four years old and they're huge and vigorous and more or less indestructible. They started blooming early this month, and by this weekend they were covered in purple flowers. Now, you're supposed to pick the flowers off before [...]
Success
We had the photo shoot. I remembered to bring both the camera and all the knitting. No one died of heat stroke. We did not get arrested (opinions vary on whether we were, strictly speaking, allowed to be in that building at that time). All in all, the day was [...]
Think Clouds
Ok all, the photo shoot for the mini book is tomorrow. I actually sewed the buttons on today (rather than waiting till tomorrow morning). All I have left to do now is lint roller everything one more time and finalize the shot list. What I'd like all of you to [...]
Quints
I really don't know how this happened. Whatever it was, something has to be done. This needs to stop. I somehow accidentally tripped and fell and obtained a set of 5 matching hat forms. This is actually handy, as Alphonse and Esmeralda are sized for my/The Boy's head (more or [...]
Stacks
I feel a tiny bit bad that it's been so long since I've put out a pattern. The last one was Chamfer in what, February? Now to be fair, the e version of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet did go live in March, so it's not like you've not got something [...]
