Deceptively Adorable
The hat is done...washed, blocked, and otherwise prepped. It is totally and completely adorable. That is, it is totally and completely adorable when I have it on my head. It looks rather goofy and lumpy when on Alphonse the handy hat form. For you see, Alphonse is about the size [...]
A Pack of Filthy Lies
I had the best of intentions. I have about two thirds of a hat...two thirds of what I am increasingly sure will be a cute hat. I have the firm desire to show you this partial hat. But you see, I also have three nefarious kitten overlords, a tendency to [...]
Giveaway
The fine folks at knitcircus have a copy of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet to give away. If you think you might just possibly be able to find a home for such a thing, head over that direction and follow their directions. As for me, I'll be back soon (hopefully tomorrow [...]
And Then
Having successfully engaged in capitalism, we found ourselves in need of sustenance. I mentioned before that I had stopped in Ann Arbor on my way home from my friend's house in Lansing earlier in the month. While there, I had popped into the Jolly Pumpkin for lunch. This had occasioned [...]
Luck of the Draw
Having fortified ourselves with pancakes (to do otherwise would be bordering on irresponsibility), we headed out to the Black Swamp Spinner's Guild Market Day. This year, they started charging a tiny (one dollar) entrance fee. Given what goes into organizing something like this, I think that's totally reasonable, and we [...]
Blue
One of the questions I get most often is 'where's the blue?' or some variation on that. I usually wriggle and squirm and more or less decline to answer. The truth is that I'm not a big fan of blue. I realize that most people like it, but it's just [...]
Dash
I'm dashing off to the Black Swamp Spinners Guild Market Day and Fiber Fair tomorrow. I went last year and found a few treats. Apparently the yarn there is destined to make good hats. It's where I got the yarn for Lauren's hat and for my hat, and I've actually [...]
Out for Delivery
The Fex Ex website assures me that the proofs for Book the Second are on the truck and out for delivery right now. Right this very minute (that being 9:04 am). It also assures me that they will be here by 10:30 this morning. I am perched in my office [...]
Unexpected Appeal
It seems some of you want to make the eggs. I'm not likely the best person to help with this, as I don't crochet, and I've never once made clothes for an egg. But, never fear, the internet can help. There seems to be a picture of a pattern (that [...]
Kittens are Punks, Part I
I preface this by saying first, it's my own damn fault. Do keep that in mind as we go along. But, with that in the back of your mind, I posit that kittens are punks. The other day, I was doing something in the basement. I have no idea what [...]
