I keep meaning to work on the sleeves for Robin’s sweater, but I keep getting distracted. That’s about an inch or two of Stephen West’s Clockwork being knit in two different colourways of Kroy sock yarn on size 5 straight needles. Colour A is “Gentry Gray” and colour B is “Burnished Sierra Stripe”. I was […]
I am trying to defiantly not feel guilty about not blogging like I feel I should. Work is still rather challenging at this time, and the writing isn’t the only thing suffering. For starters, I haven’t managed to make it in to the gym in the past month or so. My diet is very erratic, […]
I’ve been meaning to post for days. To tell the truth, I’ve had distinct feelings of “Bloggers Guilt” for not posting sooner. Part of that is due to the fact that I’ve been going through a kind of “knitter’s block”, and part of that is due to a lack of time. We’ll take it in […]
Since realizing that the sweater was at a stall, I’ve been in a bit of a funk. I’m left without a compelling sock project, and the only other project that I have on the needles that I could take to work for my breaks is a scarf. For whatever reason, I really don’t feel like […]
This is why we can’t have nice things: I have discovered that when you knit a sweater, you have a chance of one of three things happening. Either the sweater is too big, too small, or….OR…you get the dyelots mixed up. Yep. That’s exactly what happened. You can barely see it in the photo up […]
It’s been a busy week – between work and holiday visits, there hasn’t been a lot of time for taking photographs. Since I’m rocking the grave shifts this month, I haven’t had any daylight time to take decent in-progress shots, so you’ll just have to take my word for it when I tell you that […]
Last but not least, my parents’ tree! Mum always threatens to do a theme tree, but I love the familiar jumbled look of the ornaments. Many of the ornaments are new, but that’s because Mum has handed many of the family ornaments to my brother and I (at least, I think my brother has the […]
Happy boxing day! I’m carrying the merriment forward a day or two, seeing as there were at least four or five trees in my Yule, I present the first of my two Christmas Day trees. This is the tree in my in-laws’ house. Robin’s parents’ main floor has wonderfully high ceilings, so I needed to […]
Today’s tree is courtesy Robin’s brother and his lovely significant other, who hosted our Christmas Eve festivities. It was a definite non-traditional fare this year, with the main dish being home-cooked Ribs. And as an added bonus: Robin with a baby! This is our newest niece, Darby. She’s almost 2 months old. She’s already holding […]
We don’t have a Christmas Tree this year. We don’t really have any space in the living room, and we haven’t really had a lot of time to get festive with work changes and stuff. Basically, we’re spending Christmas anywhere but home due to the Family Migratory Pattern of events. So for the next couple […]
