Saturday Evening Post
I had two things I was supposed to do this weekend. Usually those things happen on Sunday evening. This weekend, I was feeling unusually noble and productive, so I did them on Saturday morning. Most of this week has been spent with my ears attuned to the tromp of the [...]
There’s a Plan
I'm a firm believer in the importance of plans. The current stage of Book the Second's plan involves double checking everything on paper. The way I do this is to *print it all out, read it, and make notes (the kind in ink on paper) of problems, go back to [...]
Getting Organized
Some time this weekend (when depends entirely on when I wake up), I'm going to go through and change the prices on some of my patterns. The goal here is to make the prices consistent across types of patterns. When I'm done, all sock patterns will be the same price, [...]
What to do with that Scarf
This will probably make its way around the knitting intarwebs, but on the off chance you haven't seen it yet, you totally owe it to yourself to go check out the 25 ways to wear a scarf video. Not all of them will work with knitted scarves, but a bunch [...]
Getting Old
I'm apparently reaching the stage of crotchety-old-man-hood characterized by the liberal use of the phrase 'when I was a kid...' I'm actually fairly comfortable with this, but I do find it amusing. Trick or treat was...anti-climactic. We had somewhere around two dozen kids or groups of kids over the course [...]
Porch Knitting
Is it wrong that I started something last night that will be simple enough to knit on the porch tonight as we hand out candy (and play-doh...really...it's a huge hit)? Is anyone else knitting while they hand out candy? Anybody got a costume planned? I must admit I don't dress [...]
Denied
The kitten overlords have decreed that I may not use my desk chair. It has been commandeered for their nefarious purposes. They suggest checking back later to see if they're done with it, but they make no promises. Update: Shortly after posting this, the rat fink bastards devious little brats [...]
Administrative Drivel
There is absolutely no knitting to be seen. None at all. There will be some day, but not today. Instead, I come to you with two shamelessly commercial administrative announcements (which always make me feel ever so slightly sullied, so please do pardon the business side of things). First, folks [...]
Creepy Crawlies
The hat is going to have a wee flipped up bit at the brim. I had initially planned to hold this in place with a button. But the more I play with it, the more I want the hat to be reversible. That means a button won't really work so [...]
Shows Potential
I know this still doesn't look exactly awe-inspiring. But I assure you it should be cool when it gets a bit more done. It will be all swooshes and diagonals and angles. If things go according to plan (always a big if) it should be reversible. And it might just [...]
