Breaking out the Machine
I saw this over on Design Sponge and fell instantly in love. It's awesome all on it's own, but they even show it filled with yarn. Very thoughtful of them! It's made from paper, and it seems like the perfect excuse to break out the sewing machine. I have a [...]
To The Gentleman To My Left At The Concert
Dear Sir, You sat to my left at the concert in Toronto on the 14th. I noticed you seemed to be a bit perplexed by me and my actions during the concert. Indeed, perplexed may not be a strong enough word. You appeared downright disturbed. To help allay your concerns, [...]
Updates
Sorry for the radio silence. I'm going over the draft book with highlighters and a variety of colored pens and a stack of post its. So are a host of genius editors and tech editors and other noble and diligent souls. I know it's part of the process, and I'm [...]
Esmeralda
You'll have to pardon me. I've been a poor hostess. I've neglected to make the proper introductions. Miss Manners would not be pleased. Knitters, I'd like you to meet Esmeralda. She's a lovely multi-part hat form. Esmeralda, please meet the knitters. They will all appreciate your unique talent for improving [...]
So That’s What It Was For?
There was a period in my misguided youth and childhood when I thought I might become an engineer. Perhaps it was a function of the time, but it sort of seemed to be the default assumption for what smart girls who could hold their own in math and science class [...]
News Flash
Yeah yeah, two posts in one day, but they're both short. Folks...guess what's printing out in my office right now. That's right, the first draft of the finished book is here from genius book designer Zoë Lonergan. I know it's immodest, but I'm totally smitten. Now pardon me while I [...]
Loot, Part 2
Apparently I also got an extra and unexpected goodie when I bought my yarn. The bag I got at Romni has proven to be the most coveted cat toy in the land. All three kittens have been in, on, and under it at various points since I've been home. Right [...]
Loot
A bit of careful planning (taking into account geography, lunch plans, your recommendations, and other scheduled events) led to the conclusion that there was time to visit two yarn stores. I knew I wanted to revisit Romni. I'd been there back in 2007 when I was a very new [...]
Just What the Doctor Ordered
From about 3pm on Friday, until about 9am today, I didn't use a computer. I didn't check my email, I didn't check ravelry, I didn't check the blog. None of it. And it was wonderful. I have a feeling I'm going to have to do this more often. I may [...]
Multi-task
Upon hearing of a planned trip to the Slaughter Innocent Woodland Creatures store, I asked The Boy to look for something for me. It's not a store I generally frequent myself (gee, could you guess), but I knew they were likely the best place to find a wee little gizmo [...]
