Apparently my need for simple knitting was thoroughly satiated during my two weeks of insanity, because for the past two days I have picked up In Dreams and have been knitting on it for hours at a time. After probably 10 episodes of various Stargates (what’s the plural of series? Seriei?) and a few hours … More So Complicated
Random random random! 1. It is now that 20% of the year in which all I want to do is go to the pool, and all I want to eat are raw fruits and vegetables. (Not to be self-righteous; the rest of the year all I want to eat are fried carbohydrates.) I am sitting … More Random Summer Wednesday
This is a post that needs a subtitle: “It’s like a Block Party, but in the Present Progressive!” Which is oddly symbolic of so much in this post. I have surfaced from two crazy weeks by the skin of my teeth. There was a lot of reading, a lot of sitting in class, a lot … More Blocking Party
Warning: this is a post about theology. If you were looking for knitting content, you might be very bored. But if it’s compelling enough for me to bother writing a blog post about it, it might actually be generally interesting, since I would usually much rather post about knitting. But then again, maybe I’m just … More Merit. Huh?
This is just a little note to tell you, I’ve hit “It” again. The Yarn Harlot talks about “It” – usually associated with the Christmas season – when you realize you have so much to do and so little time to do it that you are going to have to carefully schedule every hour of … More Public Service Announcement
Happy almost-Pentecost! This Sunday we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the newborn church, fifty days after the Resurrection. The Easter season is coming to a close, and we enter into the second half of the liturgical calendar, in which we focus on growth and walking in the way of the cross in … More Spirited
I have been knitting. But I have also been: Planting seedlings. Watering the seedlings of others. Transplanting seedlings. Playing with power tools. [As an aside: check out the beginnings of my magnificent sunburn. This happens to me about once a year. June or so rolls around, I am still pasty white, and I congratulate myself … More Other Activities
Finally! I know it has been an interminably long wait, but at long last the OFS yarn store is back online. The yarn has been re-acquired, inventoried, re-inventoried, and the pages have been updated, spruced up, and double checked. Almost nothing sold out at Sheep & Wool, so you have a full selection at your … More New yarn, Sale yarn, Custom yarn
Much of the 15 or so hours spent in the car last week was spent doing garter stitch while reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire aloud to my spouse. But when he could do without listening to the kerfuffle surrounding the Quidditch World Cup, I cranked out clue 5 of In Dreams. This … More Suspense
Foosh. What a weekend. It was one of those crazy wedding weekends, in which I was about as involved as one could be without being a bridesmaid or an immediate relative, and it was so fun. Bethany, of shawl fame, tied the knot on Saturday in high Catholic fashion, and it was a good time. … More Flowers and Foreshadowing
