Her Royal Catness seems to be under the impression that I am her personal sofa, and thus I have had to adjust my knitting to accommodate her. In other news, while my brain gnaws over the ideas for the next sock design, I cast on for something relatively brainless: Top-down socks for the Husbeast. Originally, […]
I really do try to be modest. I always feel weird giving myself a pat on the back or trying to promote the things I do. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t feel like what I do is anything out of the ordinary, or if it’s because I’ve been trained for critique, but […]
Pretty-ish things until I can snag a model and The Good Camera… At some point I’m going to put a hand-lettered sign near that angel with the words “Don’t Blink” calligraphed or somehow etched onto it. Between it and the zombie in the back garden, our yard is gaining “character”. As an aside: Migraines are […]
I know, I know, I’ve been coy with what I’ve been working on…but I really wanted to get most of the work out of the way before I decided to share. It’s a pattern of Whovian inspiration — the wings of the Weeping Angels in Blink, The Time of Angels, and Flesh and Stone. It’s […]
I know that last week I mentioned I’d post up a picture of the sock I started at the Henry Rollins Spoken Word event. Since I cast off my self-designed socks, I’ve been working on these almost exclusively, and the colours are ridiculously fun. I’ve just turned the heel on sock #1, and am about […]
Just a quick update with a thumbs up for the Grilled Eggs with Mexican Chorizo recipe from Mark’s Daily Apple. We enjoyed the meal and found that I apparently can’t pronounce “chorizo” to save my life. This is OK. I’m comfortable with that. When it comes to sausage meat, I can’t say I’m a huge […]
I know, I know…I’ve been really foody lately and a little less on the knitting. That’s because I’m working on the socks-in-progress that I’m designing myself, and as proud as I am about them, I kinda want to wait until I’m ready to post the pattern before I show ’em off. Tomorrow I’ll show off […]
Robin grilled up some salmon tonight, and we had it with some caesar salad. Now, I know that there’s at least one Doubting Thomas who will find this unlikely, so I took a picture. As they say, pictures or it didn’t happen… See? That’s my plate. Green stuff is salad. Salmon-coloured stuff is….salmon. For those […]
Honestly, does this look like food to you? I sometimes joke that I’m an “amateur nutritionist”. I haven’t gone to school to attain the college credentials, and I’m still nowhere near my ideal goal weight, but I’ve done a heck of a lot of reading. Reading, watching videos from conferences, documentaries on diet (yes, even […]
Just up front: I’m not asking about someone’s preferences as to smoking sections, I’m actually trying to figure out what does and doesn’t belong in my garden. Aside from the tulips, daffodils, chives, nameless plant that has really pretty purpley-blue flowers, non-blooming rosebush (what’s up with THAT?) and the rather deliberately-planted shrub, I’m generally clueless […]
