Hooky, Part II
When last I left you, I'd been grudgingly allowed to check into my hotel, despite my scandalous lack of male supervision. Determined to confirm the desk clerk's low opinion of me, I went right back out a little while later (at night, alone, oh the horrors) and headed to my [...]
Cover
Did I show you the cover? No, I don't think I did. Now there's every chance you don't actually care (which would be a totally reasonable way to feel...I likely wouldn't much care if it wasn't my own book), but I'm rather taken with it. See? Those yellow socks more [...]
Hooky
When playing hooky, it is best not to have too much of an advance plan. A certain element of spontaneity is necessary if you're to have the proper atmosphere of indulgence and excess. That being said, my weekend hooky session did have a few things that needed to be planned. [...]
Countdown
So...it's done. All done (which is why I desperately needed to play hooky this past weekend). The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet has gone off to the printer, and the electronic version is ready to go. I'll be putting it out on Tuesday, March 13. This means that if you've bought the [...]
Well that was Refreshing
I'm a firm believer in the restorative power of playing hooky. Sometimes it's the only appropriate response to a given situation...or at least sometimes it's the best response to a given situation. So this weekend, I played hooky. I ran off to Lansing to spend the weekend with some old [...]
Back Soon
Sorry for the radio silence. I ran away from home and blithely shirked all adult responsibility for the weekend. The good news is that this means I'll have plenty to tell you about once I'm back to being a grown up next week. Until then, I highly recommend the shirking [...]
The Only One?
Am I the only one who has found themselves brushing their teeth into the shower because there's something soaking in the sink and the thought of taking it out and dealing with it properly is just too overwhelming to contemplate before bed? Because if I am the only one, then [...]
Naughty Designer
What I really really should knit? The last few rows of the cowl. It's achingly close to done. What I have been knitting? Swatches. For you see, I have this plan...this plan for a hat...this plan for a hat that will be either the cutest or the ugliest thing you [...]
References
I am not temperamentally inclined to follow instructions. I never have been. I'm far more likely to make it up on my own and then to pester other people to do it the way I decided to do it (which is likely not nearly as charming as I imagine). But [...]
Trudge
The mitts are done. The cowl...is not. It needs about 6 more rows, maybe 10, which doesn't sound like all that much. But the rows are long, and I am lazy. The combination means it's surprisingly slow going around here. I have a sneaking suspicion I may take these two [...]
