Helper Cat, Part II
Having seen Levon's efforts to aid household order as in the previous post, Barry decided to get in the action too. He absolutely refused to leave the socks alone so I could get a picture of them. Instead, he sat beside them. He patted them with his paw. He laid [...]
Helper Cat
The Rearranging Of The Bookcases is something of a yearly ritual around these parts. The goal this time was to get rid of a few of the less necessary books (book accumulation is the family curse, and if I don't set strict limits I'll be buried) and so make a [...]
Goodies
It's been a little while since we had a giveaway, hasn't it? Let's fix that! Way back when, I mentioned that Suzan at Barking Dog Yarns was using one of the patterns from The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet as part of her new sock club. The February shipment just went out [...]
All is Lost
It is possible that I've spent too much time proofreading in the last few days. I'm not sure, but it seems likely. The hissy fit I just threw because I could not find the particular green pen that I'm using to make corrections on this print out might be a [...]
Blooming
I generally kill houseplants. Well no, I generally just avoid buying houseplants. I have no good places for them, and I worry the cats will either destroy them or be destroyed by them. The ones I can't resist usually die quickly in protest of my mistreatment of them. But not [...]
Sample Cards
Have I explained sample cards to you guys? They're rather nifty, and not something I knew about until I started designing. I just got another one in the mail, so I thought I'd take advantage of this shiny new addition to my drawer of goodies and tell you about them. [...]
No Discernible Purpose
Every now and then, I need to knit something... unofficial. Something I have no intention of using in a pattern. Something mindless. Something I can pick up for 5 minutes here and there between other endeavors. This is it. It's Yarn Harlot's One Row Scarf, worked in some (almost) yarn [...]
Breaking out the Machine
I saw this over on Design Sponge and fell instantly in love. It's awesome all on it's own, but they even show it filled with yarn. Very thoughtful of them! It's made from paper, and it seems like the perfect excuse to break out the sewing machine. I have a [...]
To The Gentleman To My Left At The Concert
Dear Sir, You sat to my left at the concert in Toronto on the 14th. I noticed you seemed to be a bit perplexed by me and my actions during the concert. Indeed, perplexed may not be a strong enough word. You appeared downright disturbed. To help allay your concerns, [...]
Updates
Sorry for the radio silence. I'm going over the draft book with highlighters and a variety of colored pens and a stack of post its. So are a host of genius editors and tech editors and other noble and diligent souls. I know it's part of the process, and I'm [...]
