Testing the RSS feed… Awhile back, my webhost did some upgrades to his server(s), and tried to also do some improvements. The best plans of geeks and men fell flat, and we wound up with some weird bugs. One of which was some busted permalinks. Next, I noticed that the hit count had gone down […]
This is what I have after two days’ worth of knitting: Now, bear in mind that I’ve been somewhat limited i time as I’m working a mid-shift this week (11am to 8pm), but generally I can crank out some decent length on a cuff. I added the standard size pen for reference, because I’m not […]
It was cold in the house yesterday. I think it’s a sign that Winter is on its way. So Robin flipped the switches on the wall that would give us the Cozy Fire buff, and we settled in with some Hot Chocolate to watch a couple of PVR’ed episodes of Grimm. Grimm, by the way, […]
I’ve been on vacation for about a week now, and I have another week to go. It’s been pretty good so far…father-in-law brought us a few things they had in storage for us (a sectional, an oak desk and a steamer trunk that, according to family lore, narrowly missed going down on the Titanic. We […]
I have four unlit jack o’lanterns in my kitchen, giving me this soulful look of “you know you want to light us, right?? I also have way too much leftover candy that is very quickly making its way into my bloodstream. Apparently November is Movember, which means that most of my guy friends will be […]
I know, I know…the blog has been mighty quiet since that last post on October 10th. I’ve been meaning to post more often, seeing as how it’s Socktoberfest and all, but I wound up with a few outside influences making it difficult to post. For anyone who tried to access the blog over the past […]
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in Canada (and happy Impending Thanksgiving to those of you who are south of the border). For those of you not celebrating the harvest season with some sort of poultry product, go ahead and do so. I won’t tell! I’m working on the holiday, so on Friday, Robin and […]
First things first…the testknit of my pattern, 28:06:42:12 is almost done. You’d think this would have been done prior to the pattern release, but some socks only really require one sock to be done before the technical information is released. Truth to be told, Sock #2 is a walk in the park in comparison to […]
I really don’t have much of anything to show this week…and that’s mainly because the pattern is coming along, tickety-boo, and that means no peeking until I’m all done and ready to release it. I’m aware that the timer is running down (boy, am I aware), so I’m knitting as fast as my little fingers […]
I know, I know…with the exception of yesterday’s post (which was a special event, yes), updates have been light on the ground. But I have an excuse…I’ve been busy! While The Yarn Harlot was taking part in Babywatch 2011, we have been doing a bit of the same. First off, a co-worker of mine was […]
