Possessed
I've found myself caught in the grip of a totally random and inexplicable urge. It is fiber related, but only ever so slightly so. All things considered, it's more of a paper-based obsession, with more than a hint of (unexpected) holiday overlay. I'll report back shortly on the outcome and [...]
Smitten
I'm rather taken with these. I worried at first that the yarn would be too busy for the pattern, but I think it's working out. The stitch pattern is sort of magical...super stretchy (looks much better once it's on a leg and under a bit more tension), works up quickly, [...]
Proof of Concept
You know that your friends have accepted that you do the whole blog thing when they send you shots of your knitting in action, complete with disclaimer saying it's ok to use them on the site. Isn't living in the future cool? Digital cameras and email and blogs and countless [...]
Festoon
So...you guys like the tiny hats. First, I feel it necessary to tell you that you can totally make these up on your own. Really you can, I have total confidence in you. But lots of folks sent me messages asking how to do it, so I went ahead and [...]
Cozy
I don't generally fall prey to the cozy craze. My teapot goes about scandalously unclothed, as does my toilet paper, my coffee cup, and a surprisingly number of other things in this house. I've not yet suffered any noticeable ill effects from this tendency to dishabille, but then I like [...]
I May Have a Problem
So the ornaments? The ornaments that seem to be the knitting equivalent of crack? They are teeny tiny hats. Hats that eggs would wear if eggs were inclined to wear hats. And they are so flipping cute I may just die. Do you want to die of an overdose of [...]
Potato Chips
To make sense of my morning, you need to know two things. First, I do not relish the thought of going to the dentist. I have a lovely dentist...skilled, accommodating, and handy with the prescription pad. But still, it is not my favorite place to go. Second, my friends have [...]
Warm and Spiky
Two bits of good news! First, the nice man from the gas company's repair service showed up bright and early Monday morning. He looked at our furnace (an admittedly elderly piece of machinery), took a panel off, wiggled a few wires, pushed a button, and boom...heat. I felt rather like [...]
The Stars Did Not Align
We're actually pretty good at the short trip thing. We don't overpack (for one or two nights we just share a super tiny rolling bag). We understand the importance of snacks. We have the music situation well under control. I know all about the care and feeding of car knitting. [...]
Less Than Stellar
You know what is not a fun way to begin your morning? With the realization that your furnace is no longer blowing warm air...is instead blowing icy cold air. This is absolutely not good. It significantly alters your plans for the day. I am displeased.
