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
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
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’
I just finished mopping up a surprise remnant of the flood we had in the basement of the library branch I work at this morning (from other staff’s reports, we had about an inch or two of water on the floor), so as a treat for dealing with the water and slime, I’ve been experimenting… Continue reading Heavy on the "Rambles"
The wind is whistling in the trees and beating against the walls of the building, so this is definitely a good day to curl up with some knitting. Particularly as the power is flickering somewhat ominously. I’m dogsitting for my brother while he and his girlfriend are in Las Vegas, and I’m in their apartment,… Continue reading A Perfect Time to Knit
Well, I wrote this whole huge post the other night and when I went to post it, Blogger gave me a “Hey! We’re doing maintenance!” message and I lost the entire thing. I know, I know, I should have saved it as a draft, but a lot of times if I stop writing to do… Continue reading As the Yarn Ball Turns
*squees, dances* I got a package in the mail this morning, and it had yarn in it! Yes, the Lisa Souza sock yarn in the “Violet’s Pink Ribbon” colourway arrived this morning and I’m in love. The colours are vibrant and gorgeous, and it’s soooooo soft. I just couldn’t stop touching it or rubbing it… Continue reading Small Victories
