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 […]
Pretty-ish things until I can snag a model and The Good Camera… At some point I’m going to put a hand-lettered sign near that angel with the words “Don’t Blink” calligraphed or somehow etched onto it. Between it and the zombie in the back garden, our yard is gaining “character”. As an aside: Migraines are […]
I know, I know, I’ve been coy with what I’ve been working on…but I really wanted to get most of the work out of the way before I decided to share. It’s a pattern of Whovian inspiration — the wings of the Weeping Angels in Blink, The Time of Angels, and Flesh and Stone. It’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
Meet my buddy Max Max is a Phrenology head. He is currently modelling Robin’s Bowler hat and 2-Row Noro Scarf (Robin accused me of dressing Max up, but I maintain it’s to keep the hat from getting crushed). Max sits in our front hallway, where he can greet people as they come through the door. […]
I have a weird feeling that this scarf/shawlette may actually fit me. I’m also impressed with the camera in my iPod (it’s been handy, and doesn’t seem to distort colour the way my cell phone recently has). The “point” of the scarf (and thus the current “middle” of the scarf) is up on the stool. […]
Remember this? It’s been ripped back and now being knit as such: May I just say that I’m loving the HitchHiker pattern by Martina Behm? And that I’m particularly loving it as a Noro striped-scarf? I’m also thinking that the pattern might be a good knit for some of my completed handspun. It’s definitely worth […]
Not exactly a WIP for Wednesday…I cast off my Clockwork Scarf yesterday! I decided that the deck post could do the modelling for me. At some point I may get Robin to do the honours, maybe on a less-overcast day. The scarf needs to be blocked, but even so, it still looks wonderful. I think […]
Not much going on, knit-wise, but that scarf I showed on the 24th? It’s grown! The Clockwork scarf is basically knit in two sections. I’m finished the first half and am working my way through the second. I’m starting to run out of room on the needles, and I think that’s due to the fact […]
