There have been so many things going on around here lately, that something got away from me entirely, and wasn’t remembered until I had a moment to stop and think. I’ve been blogging for about eleven years now! My 11th Blogoversary just passed, on February 21st. At that point, I had the domain for inkyblack.net, […]
I finished the Noro Shawl last week. Actually, it’s less a shawl than a small blanket that resembles an equilateral triangle. I really don’t feel like re-knitting it at this time. so it may stay that way, maybe to eventually become something useful for someone. You never know. This means that other than design-knitting, which […]
Him: “Something squooshy came for you in the mail. I’m thinking it is either yarn or a puppy” Me: “OooOooo! I hope it’s yarn…coz dead puppies aren’t much fun!” Yep. That was the conversation (via text message) this morning. I am glad to say, it wasn’t a puppy. Instead…I got yarn! My order from Three […]
Just a simple picture. I surprised the husbeast with a couple of cute mugs from Teh eVil Coffee Empire. And yes, that is a “Holey” cow in the background (my folks dropped by with my annual birthday cheesecake, totally derailing my diet amidst beverages and excellent conversation) I love all you folks. Enjoy the spirit […]
Listen Here! We are out of quarantine! Self-imposed, of course, but it gave me quite a bit of time to knit… I had a birthday, and we got snowed in! Oh noes! The three books I mention were bought at Shelf Life Books, Calgary’s newest Independant Bookseller. Support your independant local businesses! The books: On […]
As I alluded a couple of days ago, there was a birthday in the household recently. Actually, there were two (kinda). I would have posted something up on the actual date, but things were a little out-of-the-ordinary around here. Last weekend we had a weather warning for heavy snowfall, so I had headed out to […]
Last week’s WIP Wednesday showed this single, solitary, cast-on that was barely recognizable as a toe. This week, I have a bit more to show. Yep. That’s a full sock and a half. Okay…a little more than a sock and a half. More like a sock and three quarters. That’s what an illness in the […]
Listen Here! Hooray, a podcast! Due to the upgrade in computer technologies around here, I tried recording in Garageband in my living room, rather than being stuck in the cold basement on the old PC. I think I could grow to like this… 🙂 On the Needles: February Lady Sweater: Still not seeing any action, […]
We did some cleaning this past weekend; put a bunch of stuff away. In the process, we unpacked a bunch of Christmas stuff that had been set aside to go through later. The little pink ornament on the mantel? That’s a wee gift from my niece, Georgia. She was visiting with her family this past […]
Yesterday was the start of the Skinflint Sock Club, and I cast on at lunch hour, as soon as I had time (my time before work was taken up with the administrative duties and playing with the ball winder & swift). By bed last night, I’d managed to get about three inches knit. No, that’s […]
