We walked into our house when we got home from Urbana, and it was 47 degrees indoors. The heat went on. Fjord and Zerg…. we’ll get you next year. I felt all hardcore until we went to drop off my brother’s Christmas present at his Towson apartment last night. He greeted us at the door wearing [...] Christmas is over in every possible way, but we were gone during the season’s 12 days of celebration, so the tree is still up. Taking it down has not even made it into conversation yet. Also, you haven’t seen it yet. So here it is, with another new project: (You also get a good view of [...] You may think that I dutifully wrote those posts for you every day after Christmas. I hate to break it to you, my ducklings, but I stayed up until early on boxing day scheduling them dutifully to post while we galavanted away in St. Louis. Why do I break your hearts with this news of [...] As Michelle so astutely observed, the eleventh day of Christmas is missing. You are probably asking yourselves why this is? Well, the reason is that I cannot count. The last post was supposed to be the eleventh day of Christmas, and the twelfth day of Christmas was supposed to be missing.

Jared says: “Didn’t I also look stoned in the picture you took of me wearing the hat you made me last year?” I don’t know; let’s find out. Hmmm. Things I learned from this project: 1. Slip stitch patterns, and slip-stitch-like patterns, are surprisingly very awesome looking with [...] I knitted for my friend, A cashmere chemo cap of glory. It’s hard to really think of it as fair to make a gift like this – I feel like I’ve gotten all the fun in getting to touch the yarn all the time when I knitted it. But Becky loved it, she is totally worth [...] I knitted for my sis: A wee baby dog whose whole body is a head! Figured that could only be the next step from her current obsession, Littlest Pet Shop, where 95% of all animals’ body mass is head. Why not go the rest of the way? Pattern: Improvised, but shamelessly ripped off Susan Morishita’s crochet [...] I spun up for my spouse: Some handpainted roving from C*eye*ber Fiber. Happy New Year!! Have some yarn pron. |
