…almost literally, in fact, but we’ll get to that in a moment. That, there is part of my year-round self-sock-club. The blue socks are my February MIL’s Socks, the red pair are March’s Shur’tugal, the multicolours are the second pair of April socks (toe-up with an afterthought heel), and the really bright neon green socks […]
Yes, I know it’s been awhile since I posted. I didn’t mean to go this long, but life has this terrifying way of taking precidence. Since my last update, I managed to finish the March Socks (by April 9th…they took awhile) and I started and finished the April socks. Pictures will be forthcoming! I’m back […]
Day seven: 3rd April. Your knitting and crochet time. Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys. What items do you like to surround yourself with whilst you twirl your hook like a […]
Day six: 2nd April. Something to aspire to. Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant? Is there a skill or project that makes your mind boggle at the sheer time, […]
Day Four: 31st March. Where are they now? Whatever happened to your __________? Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity. I don’t know […]
Day Three: 30th March. Tidy mind, tidy stitches. How do you keep your yarn wrangling organised? It seems like an easy to answer question at first, but in fact organisation exists on many levels. Maybe you are truly not organised at all, in which case I am personally daring you to try and photograph your […]
I’m a little late in getting this up and running. I actually missed Day 1, which will be rectified. Day Two: 29th March. Skill + 1UP Look back over your last year of projects and compare where you are in terms of skill and knowledge of your craft to this time last year. Have you learned […]
I’ve kinda wrapped WIP Wednesday and the Stringchronicity Podcast into one great big gooey package today. Today, we’re going video! If you’re seeing the W with the bouncing star, you’re on the right track. Give the video a little time to load. Show notes will be forthcoming once I’ve had a few minutes to get […]
I’m reading a new book that I picked up called “talking to girls about duran duran” by Rob Sheffield. It appears to be a kind of memoir, with different songs punctuating different parts of the author’s life. I will admit that this strikes a chord with me. I think we all have soundtracks to our […]
Listen Here! I know it’s been about 3 weeks since the last podcast, but I think I mentioned why a while ago in a blog post. Needless to say, we have a new one! I mention that I *did* actually do some recording, even if a podcast wasn’t actually released. I also throw in the […]
