Signs of Life
I have done a thorough investigation and can now confidently say that being sick sucks. Refusing to lay down and rest so as to get better seems to prolong being sick. Doing even more stuff than usual because you're busy and things need to get done seems to actually make [...]
One of These Things is Not Like the Others
I'm trying to decide between getting a fancy camera, an ipad, and a spinning wheel. I find the juxtaposition unreasonably amusing.
Zombie Knitting
I'm still not dead. I may even be showing signs of returning life. I say this because I've recently found myself possessed by the overwhelming need to knit something. Alas, I do not currently have the attention span or the stamina necessary to tackle the (somewhat complicated) project for Heather's [...]
Not Dead
Not dead, just sick and super freaking busy (not the best combination). I'll return when I can. Thanks to all of you who wished me well. The drugs should kick in any day now and I'm sure I'll be back to my normal chipper productive self shortly.
Plague
So that cold? That cold I was valiantly and stoically fighting off? The one I was ignoring with truly impressive persistence? Yeah. Not a cold. More like pneumonia. Admittedly, mild pneumonia, but icky none the less. I've been given antibiotics, an inhaler, and strict orders to take to my bed [...]
Speedy
I cast on the second mitt as we pulled out of the parking lot to head off to Pittsburgh. I knit on the drive, I knit at dinner, I knit at drinks. I did not knit at the show (it was dark and crowded) or at the hotel (we didn't [...]
Wee Jaunt
Sometimes, when The List Of Things That Ought To Be Done gets too long, the best thing to do is pack up and run away. Not always. If you always respond that way, nothing ever gets done. But, every once in a while, especially when The List contains a lot [...]
Present
I got myself a present. I've wanted to make socks with handspun for ages. Alas, my spinning isn't anywhere near up to that standard. Luckily, other people do have this talent, and some of them will even allow me to buy the lovely things they make. This is from Bockstark [...]
Blatant Falsehoods
I'm good at math. I know it's common for knitters to shy away from math, but really I don't mind it. On occasion (and under the influence of an adult beverage or two) I have been seized by the need to understand a particular math problem and have gone and [...]
This is Still Not a Hat
It is a mitt now though, so that's progress. Alas, it's not the sock for Heather's book. It's not that swirly sock over there pining for some attention on the sidebar. It's not even the hat it was supposed to be. What can I say, I am fickle. And while [...]
