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 […]
Time for another hard-hitting Daily Post question! What’s the single most important thing you accomplished in 2010? Well, I didn’t accomplish much that was too difficult. Really. I didn’t solve world peace, or end starvation. I didn’t write a best-selling novel, and I didn’t enlarge the family or find the cure for cancer. I knit […]
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 can’t believe how fast this year has gone by, and all the things that have happened between then and now. It seems yesterday I was waking up on January 1st, and now I’m putting the capper on another year. I decided to put together a little photo-mosaic of all the really nice shots I’ve […]
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 […]
This may not be news to anyone who reads my blog, but I’m almost done Robin’s shiny happy socks. The biggest challenge? Making sure that the long colour gradation didn’t change abruptly after the heel. You see, I didn’t do an afterthought heel, or a contrast heel…I just knit the heel. On sock #1, it […]
We are totally exhausted. Today was spent in preparation for Christmas. We got up early and started cleaning the main floor of the house. Most of the counters are clean, the floor is scrubbed…even the table is almost prepared. I even have a very sweet husband making my dinner in the kitchen (Yay! Meatlog! …er…Meatloaf….). […]
It has now reached *that* time of year. The time of year when the cute little slender girls are decked out in cute little swing coats, with their cute knitwear that’s meant to look bulky so that they look tiny. It’s a fashion that never seems to go out of style, and why should it? […]
