I wanted to show you a finished Imogen (ravelry link) today. I really did. However, since I cast off, I have been struggling with a rolling edge on the bottom part of the sweater that neither a good steam or soak blocking will fix. See, because the back of the sweater is really just a [...]

Christmas Redux
Posted in FO's, Life, Musings, new projects, project photos on December 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This last month has really kicked my ass and now I am very behind on my Xmas knitting. Between everyone here having the plague (in which I lost 2 weeks!), Monkey getting up again at night (in which I lost countless hours of sleep and knitting time), and general work crap which kept me too [...]
This Morning…

I woke up ready to try it again. Like anything was possible again. Last week was super rough. Seems like there is enough of this feeling going around right now. People seem kind of broken. Maybe it’s the holidays. Doesn’t it seem like, as an adult, it’s Xmas all the time? Really. In knitting news, [...]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like

Christmas. Baby. The itty-bitty red thing is done. But, since it’s going to be a present, all I can give you is a sneak peek. See, I told you. Red, cabled, small. And, on the home front, things are well. Although, it would be great if someone could explain six year olds to me. [...]

I am currently in the process of trying to pare down my WIP’s. See, every so often, something comes over me and I realize that my start-itis has gotten way out of hand and I have so many projects on the needles that I can’t keep them all straight. So, I start working on the [...]
Bunny, On Voting.
Posted in Bunny, Life, Musings on October 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Tonight, I took Bunny with me to the polling station so I could a) vote and b) take her through the democratic process. When we went to the polling station, which coincidentally, was her school. She first gave me crap for parking in the teacher’s parking lot. Apparently, even though it was 7:20 PM and [...]
Connections

I found a new blog today. I don’t know about you, but I don’t add many new blogs to my blog reader very often. I very jealously guard my blog roll and since I have precious little time to myself these days, the adding of a new blog must be carefully thought out. Ok, now [...]
Getting Ready for Winter

Still feeling a bit under the weather, but not so much that I haven’t managed to spend some time working on old UFO’s. Remember the Enemoi Mittens that I cast on for a year ago? I finally finished one. What stalled me was a mistake that I had made in the pattern during the decrease [...]
Out of the Mouth of Babes…

This is the conversation that Bunny and I had on the way home last night from my sister’s baby shower. Bunny: Why did she (my sister) have to have all those people we didn’t know at her shower? Me: They were her friends and other family Bunny: Well, at least no one laid a hand [...]
Oh, it’s On!

While browsing a fellow SnB’er’s blog, I came across this little gem… Knit Wars has apparently been taking over the knitting community and it’s time I got in on the action. Ok, now you go sign up. Oh, and it’s 7:15AM here and Monkey is still sleeping. Woot.
