Not sure how many readers will know this (as I have no idea your demographic), but I used to be a musician. In fact, music was my first career choice prior to going to Art College (I gave up the dream after a series of University auditions that spanked my immature little pride on her […]
I meant to post before now, but things have been scattered and hectic over the holiday (I consider it ‘the holiday that wasn’t’ because I worked for most of it, but what can you do, right? It’s the nature of the beast when you knowingly continue a career path that includes features shift work). So, […]
I’ve been wanting “TARDIS mittens” for awhile now. I looked online and found mittens decorated as Tardises (Tardi?), and mittens decorated with Tardises (what is the plural on that, anyhow?). I just didn’t find what I was looking for. There was one front-runner, but I quickly found myself ripping it back and starting all over […]
About a year or two ago, I made the Husbeast a hat. I used the Ripley pattern by Ysolda Teague, and made it out of a dark grey alpaca blend from Michael’s. It itches. And an itchy hat doesn’t make for happy husbeasts. (This is not the first occasion when an alpaca blend has caused […]
It started innocently enough. I saw a pattern and thought it looked intriguing. I had a couple of balls of Noro sock yarn that were languishing due to the fact that I have some known issues with Kureyon, and got curious as to whether they would look good together. The answer to this, by the […]

First things first! Let’s get the pattern-wise info up & over with so we can get on to the real rambling! 😉 Every year I participate in a Ravelry group called “Super Sock Scarefest”. It starts in September and rolls right on through to October 31st. The goal is to complete as many of the […]
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since the last time I wrote anything here. I have moments where I could have sworn that I had written a full blog post, but then the moment passes and I head back on my way to whatever I was doing. It feels like its been a […]
I know it’s been ages since my last post…what can I say? Life happens and this time it kicked me in the butt. I’ll be getting back to more regular posting soon, particularly now that we’re on our way to Yule and the mittens I was knitting as presents will hopefully soon be winging their […]
I know that updates have been sparse lately, but I blame that on the work schedule being a bit wonky. One of the drawbacks of rotating shifts, I guess. When I haven’t been working, though, I’ve been keeping myself busy – and not with my Sims game! I’ve noticed time just slipping right away when […]
