I’ve bought a little bit of yarn in the last few weeks. Not too much mind you, just some birthday yarn.
Some Malabrigo laceweight.
Some Raven series STR. (Ok, a lot, hee!)
I stopped by Threadbear on Black Friday as I was in Lansing to judge a rabbit show the next day. I was [...]

Tonia nominated me for a Nice Matters Award and I get to pass it along to seven of you. Now, any of you who have clicked on my blogroll lately will realize what an agonizing decision this was. I finally decided to try for a little variety, some more well known blogs, some not so [...]

I am sick, officially “stupid sick.” Where in you do the dumbest things known to man that you wouldn’t normally do. For instance, as I was leaving my house today and noticed that it was raining (heavily mind you and had been all morning), I proceeded to put on clogs. Not the boots sitting beside [...]

RIP laptop, you served me well. I was notified at 4:13 pm Thursday evening that my hard drive has crashed and is no longer serviceable. Luckily I had backed up most of my information when I sent it off the first time. Sadly, I have one piece I created in the last week that is [...]

because I made another pair last night! This pair, I just whipped up out of some Alpaca With A Twist Landscapes (two skeins in Fire Island) that I had in my stash. Some size 8 DPNs and 3 hours later, voila! One finished pair of ribbed mitts. Seriously satisfying to whip out a quick FO [...]

To stave off the cold of course. :) This is a fantastic pattern, both well written and a fast knit. I cast on for this pair on Tuesday and off on Wed. I even reknit one mitt because I made two left hand mitts. I didn’t have enough yarn left to knit two right hand [...]

Computer fall down go boom again. I’m getting an error message that says it can’t access my operating system or something like that. I’m sad. I just fixed it. Now it’s broken again. There are things that I need on the computer. I can’t get them right now, but hopefully they can fix it so [...]
