Mountains
This is what 'the middle' of my projects always looks like. Please note that I am one of those overly-organized souls who feels that books should be lined up on the shelf with a ruler (and yes, I have a special ruler just for this job). Left to my own [...]
Proof of Kitten
Kitten has a cold and so he, much like me when I have a cold, is making a rather amazing amount of snot. Unlike me when I have a cold, he is also good-natured, affectionate, and busily exploring everything in reach. This leaves me trying to take a picture of [...]
An Interesting Evening
I was sitting at my computer, diligently typing away, and the doorbell rang. I opened the door, and my neighbor's son and his friend were on the porch. "Here," they said, "we got you a kitten." And sure enough, they were holding a kitten. A teeny tiny kitten. A nearly [...]
Stacks
I have rather a lot of books. Now please don't misunderstand me. This in no way means I have enough books or that I am done buying books. Far from it. It simply means I have quite a few of them laying around. From time to time, the titles of [...]
Unsuspecting Victim
So, let's say you had the chance to ensnare an unsuspecting victim teach someone to knit. I get to do just that next weekend, and I'm totally looking forward to it. But in the interest of making the process as smooth as possible, I thought I'd poll the collective. What [...]
This is not a Sock
I totally did not cast on a sock smack dab in the middle of the giant project from hell. That would be irresponsible. This is not a sock. This is sanity. Wooly, cashmere-fortified sanity. Don't try and take it away. You may lose a finger.
Book Yarn, Part VI
School work is chugging along at a respectable clip. I'm a bit more than half way done with the project, and a bit less than half way done with the available time. As long as this proportion keeps up, I can stave off panic. I'm even managing to get the [...]
Vaunt
So I lied. The plan had been to do these tomorrow. But in the interest of being all scholarly and productive tomorrow (a girl can dream), I'm doing them today. I'm pleased to present Vaunt. These are the latest in the ongoing attempt to find patterns that are subdued enough [...]
Book Yarn, Part V
Look at me, all alive and more or less lucid. The giant project is still giant, but it has been divided into (ever so slightly more) reasonable pieces, and I have a plan. Having a plan is key. It helps you explain what went wrong when you find yourself in [...]
Silent Running
Tomorrow I fall off the face of the earth for two weeks. Well, it's not quite that dramatic. Tomorrow I start a project for school, the mere thought of which fills me with dread and fear. That's more like it. I may die. At the very least, I won't have [...]
