Not Quite
It has been a rage-y sort of day. The kind where you stub your toe and burn your tongue and somehow don't quite manage to rinse all the conditioner out of your hair and all of your clothes are itchy and all the sounds in the world are too loud. [...]
Unexpected Maturity
Last night, in a totally uncharacteristic fit of prudence and temperance (and possibly a few other virtues, though certainly not fortitude), I did an impressive thing. My hands hurt, so I put my knitting down. I know, not exactly rocket science. But it becomes all the more stunning when I [...]
The Real Reason
So you know the real reason to write a book? It's the mail. Seriously. Writing this thing has been almost as much work for the postman as for me. First, all the yarn comes in the mail. And really, yarn is pretty high up there on the list of fun [...]
Book Yarn, Part II
Hey look, it's our friend Percival again. I am totally making him earn his keep. Fair disclosure, I set him up on the front porch and clicked through all of the various yarns one after the other. It was windy, some of the pictures feature yarn wandering off to one [...]
Book Yarn, Part I
Alrighty. A few folks have asked if I'm going to tell you which yarns I'm using in Book the Second. I wasn't all that sure that folks liked that last time, but since you asked so nicely, I can totally be persuaded. Even more on target, the book and the [...]
Winner
As promised, the winner for the Barking Dog Yarns/Foliate giveaway is Sue of Alderwood Quilts. It looks like Sue already knows all about Barking Dog Yarns and will be adding a skein of Galaxy in the color California to her stash. I'll be in touch to sort everything out. And [...]
The Master Plan
This book thing only works if you're organized. Well, it only works for me if I'm organized. You may be as disorganized as you like. This box is Book the Second. You might think books live on the computer. And large parts of this one certainly do. But, by its [...]
Yarn Giveaway
Because Suzan, evil genius behind Barking Dog Yarns, is awesome, I have a skein of Galaxy to give away. Actually, it's even better than that. Instead of having an actual physical skein of yarn in my hands to send away (always a bit of a wrench I tell you), I [...]
Snag
So we all do it. Or at least I hope we all do it. This morning I realized that I'd worked part of one row of the sock much much looser than the others. Now for some things this might not matter or might come out in the wash. But [...]
Brazen Hussy
I've completely abandoned all pretense of fidelity and become an absolutely brazen hussy. I have a new beau. Don't worry, The Boy knows all about it. My new suitor is a teeny tiny porch kitten. See? This little guy and I are totally courting. He's come to the porch from [...]
