I never actually posted up any kind of pictures of the Noro Two-Row Shawl as a Finished Object. That is mainly because the one time I tried, it was with my cell phone camera, and it was less than breathtaking. Let’s just say I gave it another try: What we have here is a failure […]
My Google Reader category for “Knitterly” contains feeds for 89 knitting blogs. It’s gotten to the point where I have at least 20 or more posts to read on a daily basis. I’m a great lurker. I’m not the best at commenting, though I *am* working on that. I constantly add new blogs to the […]
Another WIP Wednesday! Things are continuing. The February Lady Sweater has pretty much gone back into procrastinatory hibernation (but will likely be pulled out when the whim strikes). The design-socks are still being kept away from cameras, and that leaves two things. Two?! Yes. Two. A Shawl! Well…whatever it is, it’s sure a bright pink. […]
Some folks may have noticed that it has been awhile since I uploaded a podcast. I actually recorded last Friday…and then wussed right out on the editing part (see, this is why giving me new tools can be a detriment to productivity). I also realized that the podcast was rather rambly, and we don’t need […]
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 […]
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 […]
