Unreasonably Tidy
So I may have mentioned that I have a small tendency to be obsessively obnoxiously a tiny bit organized. I really can't help it. If I don't keep things tidy I end up sitting in the corner rocking slowly back and forth and muttering about label makers and alphabetizing and [...]
Helpful…or Overkill
Alright folks, polling the collective again. Say you were looking at a knitting pattern (so out of character I know), would you rather see: Shown in: So-Soft DK by Handwerks in the color Lemongrass, size medium. Or do you prefer the rather wordier: Shown in: So-Soft DK by Handwerks in [...]
Siren Song
So I've been led astray. The siren song and subtle sparkle of some wee glass baubles have sidetracked me. While we were out in Oregon and Washington we saw lots of glass fishing floats. Not on the beach (because you know I would have snatched those up half a heartbeat), [...]
Stacks
Anyone want to wager a guess as to how may outraged emails I'll get for hastening the downfall of our nation's youth or advocating scandalous behavior? Part of the Stacks series. And as always, you can click to see a bigger picture if you'd like.
Book Yarn, Part VIII
It's been an awesome day at Chez Violence. As of close of business today, I have sixteen (out of an eventual twenty) of the projects for Book the Second here and blocked and petted and cooed over and tucked away safe out of reach of mischievous kittens. I know it [...]
Book Yarn, Part VII
You thought I'd forgotten, didn't you. I didn't, and there are more than six sets of yarns in the book. I've just been a wee bit busy. But I'm sneaking back in to add in the next of the book yarns. There are three more after this one. On the [...]
Lest You Fear I’d Forgotten
I did actually do some knitting on the trip. Not much mind you. Between the classes, the beach stomping, the rampaging up and down the coast I didn't have much time for knitting. But I did finish up the first sock and start on the second. And even more important, [...]
Sock Summit Part V, In Which Yarn is Obtained
I always feel a bit of a need to apologize for the yarn that I buy. I feel like I should justify it or explain it or excuse it. But really, that's silly. This is my business, and it requires yarn. So I bought some. I have a suspicion you [...]
Home Safe
We, the kittens, and the suitcases are all home safe. A bit tired and a bit disheveled (well, we and the kittens are, the suitcases appear fairly unfazed by their trip), but in one piece. I will report back with more yarn, kittens, beaches, sea life, and attack clouds once [...]
Sock Summit Part IV, In Which We are Menaced by the Deep
The last time I came to Sock Summit, I rather over scheduled myself. I booked a class for each class period, I planned to attend some of the after class activities, and I intended to explore the area a bit. I should have known better. I am only social in [...]
