Okay, I haven’t posted in a while. I’ll save the handwringing and spare the self-flagellation and get on to the content. The biggest item of which is… I finished The-Shawl-That-Must-Not-Be-Named. And it even gets a title change, as I can name it now! I didn’t want to before I finished it, as I wanted the… Continue reading Blogging into the Silence
So as the eagle-eyed or long-time reader might have noticed, I’m a wee bit of a fan of the Fox show 24 (no, really? I would never have guessed!). While I’m used to waiting a long time between seasons (the show runs uninterrupted between January and May, making for a 7-month hiatus), due to the… Continue reading Boop. Beep. Boop. Beep.
You know you’re a sad, sad little knitter when you’re watching a movie and you have to catch yourself from spending too much time examining the knitwear. So of course that’s exactly what I’m doing. Particularly considering I’m watching A&E’s Shackleton, and as a great deal of it takes place on board ship there are… Continue reading My freeze-frame-fu is strong
The Swallowtail Shawl is finished! *punches air and makes the international symbol for “ROCK ON!!” with her hands* Finished it last night after a couple hours of doing the last couple chart rows and the finishing rows. Technically I know that does not necessarily count as “finished” as the shawl still needs to be blocked,… Continue reading Success!
Well the weather outside is frightful, and I’m still suffering the tail end of a cold that won’t go away (8 days and counting!) so naturally, what was a girl to do on her day off, but curl up in front of the TV and knit? 🙂 Actually, I’d been hoping to make a trek… Continue reading Knit, purl, cough, wheeze.
Whee, I’m not dead. The summer and fall have been fery busy so far, what with Summer programs and then quite a bit of staff turnover in the fall. Our schedules are pretty nuts at the moment, so when I’ve been getting home I’ve pretty much been in the stare-at-the-TV/computer-and-drool. However, I was talking to… Continue reading End of Summer Vacation
Well here we are, at the new blog! Hopefully everyone remembered to update their bookmarks; I have all my previous posts transferred over here, so if you’re just arriving, you can browse through the archives here. I decided to move the blog as Blogger was basically just annoying the heck out of me on a… Continue reading A Tale of Two Socks (and Blogs)
Grrr. Where in the hell is that 2.5mm circular I bought? This is the only thing I don’t like about circs–trying to store them. I think I’m going to have to consider getting a binder with plastic sleeves or something. Of course tidying my room and organizing my knitting stuff would work too, but that… Continue reading Grumblings
Well here I was thinking that the photos I took of the socks I’m making in Lisa Souza yarn were going to be sadly outdated by the time I got them up on the blog. Then, with both heels turned, I actually tried them on. You can see where this is going, right? I had… Continue reading "Mrs. Fairfax had settled into a corner with her knitting…"
I’m not dead yet! Work and other things (*coughRPGcough*) have made the last couple months busy ones, and somehow whenever I sat down to update my brain shied away from forming sentences. So how about I spare you a long synopsis of everything that’s been going on and just cut to the news of the… Continue reading The Times They Are A-Changin’
