Not much to show for this WIP Wednesday. I guess that’s what happens when you get tangled up in little Sim lives and dramas instead of watching movies and knitting. Oops. These are the Glynis socks. No, they don’t look much farther along than they were, do they? It’s because I had to rip back […]
I have a confession. See that? It’s a Sims 3 household. It was only a matter of time before it happened. First it starts with needing to update your iPod using iTunes, and then you wind up checking to see if one of your video games will boot…next thing you know, it’s a week later, […]
I’ve actually gotten a bit done on all my projects this week. Even the sweater, though I haven’t been able to snag any photos of it. I’ve finished the increase rows on the February Lady Sweater yoke and am now completing the last couple of garter stitch rows. Then it’s on to the body and […]
Listen Here! Happy New Year! Hope yours went well! I’m still a little scattered-sounding, but at least I’m back to podcasting on a weekend instead of catch-as-catch-can during the week. I talk about how busy the Christmas season was, particularly regarding the amount of households we visited. I also mention that swag was exchanged amongst […]
I saw this particular little weekly feature on Turtlegirl’s blog and thought I might follow suit. Of course, afterwards I googled WIP Wednesday, and apparently it’s not a new idea…so now I don’t feel quite so cheesy! My Noro striped shawl is shaping up quite nicely. It’s getting large enough to take more time to […]
So far, today has been nice and relaxing, aside from a little traffic. We went for a wonderful breakfast, and picked up a couple of things that Robin needed from one of the stores (not the mall, thank goodness). We’re now taking a little time to rest up for the main holiday events. I’ve been […]
Just a quick one before dashing off to work on the shortest day of the year… Stayed up way too late last night to watch the beginning of the Lunar Eclipse last night. I even took a few pictures! When I get home from work this afternoon, I’ll go through them and see if any […]
Well, the thing about a black hole – its main distinguishing feature – is it’s black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them? –Holly, Ship’s computer, Red Dwarf (episode: Marooned) You see that sock? It’s black. And the thing […]
A few weeks ago, I was nuking some leftovers for lunch at work. A co-worker came out, inspected my chili, deemed it savory-smelling enough, and then commented that he had the exact same plastic tubs at home but was hesitant to use them. When pressed, he muttered “Bisphenol-A” and left it at that. That’s my […]
Aside from the weird colours of “plaid” displayed at the local Tommy Hilfiger shop, we found this sweater that had to boldly assert the fact that it is, indeed, fair-isle. WTF? Seriously, if the husbeast wasn’t already aware of what Fair-Isle knitting was, this would stump him. I can see men all over the world […]
