Her Royal Catness seems to be under the impression that I am her personal sofa, and thus I have had to adjust my knitting to accommodate her. In other news, while my brain gnaws over the ideas for the next sock design, I cast on for something relatively brainless: Top-down socks for the Husbeast. Originally, […]
I really do try to be modest. I always feel weird giving myself a pat on the back or trying to promote the things I do. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t feel like what I do is anything out of the ordinary, or if it’s because I’ve been trained for critique, but […]
I know that last week I mentioned I’d post up a picture of the sock I started at the Henry Rollins Spoken Word event. Since I cast off my self-designed socks, I’ve been working on these almost exclusively, and the colours are ridiculously fun. I’ve just turned the heel on sock #1, and am about […]
Just a quick update with a thumbs up for the Grilled Eggs with Mexican Chorizo recipe from Mark’s Daily Apple. We enjoyed the meal and found that I apparently can’t pronounce “chorizo” to save my life. This is OK. I’m comfortable with that. When it comes to sausage meat, I can’t say I’m a huge […]
I know, I know…I’ve been really foody lately and a little less on the knitting. That’s because I’m working on the socks-in-progress that I’m designing myself, and as proud as I am about them, I kinda want to wait until I’m ready to post the pattern before I show ’em off. Tomorrow I’ll show off […]
Robin grilled up some salmon tonight, and we had it with some caesar salad. Now, I know that there’s at least one Doubting Thomas who will find this unlikely, so I took a picture. As they say, pictures or it didn’t happen… See? That’s my plate. Green stuff is salad. Salmon-coloured stuff is….salmon. For those […]
Just up front: I’m not asking about someone’s preferences as to smoking sections, I’m actually trying to figure out what does and doesn’t belong in my garden. Aside from the tulips, daffodils, chives, nameless plant that has really pretty purpley-blue flowers, non-blooming rosebush (what’s up with THAT?) and the rather deliberately-planted shrub, I’m generally clueless […]
It’s hard to believe my Saturday has been going so quickly! First, we got busy doing some yardwork. I have no idea what these purple blooms are, but they’re coming up in our garden. The lawn was mowed and my Dad came by to fix an issue we were having with the siding of our […]
So I mentioned that I was doing a little designing? Yep. Look! It’s a toe! We picked up new dice bags at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo a couple of weekends ago. Not really much to report on that front…it was fun, we saw quite a few of our friends, spent a bit of […]
See, this is why I’m glad I took a walk last night. Because around here, you’re never sure the weather’s going to last. Yep. Big fluffy flakes. And before anyone asks, yes, that’s an ashtray on the deck railing. We no longer smoke, but we have friends who do – and it’s just easier to […]
