Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
From Mom: I have one brother, Rebecca’s uncle: the one who, when she was between the ages of 3 and 10, would walk away with her at a party and not tell anyone. “Where IS she?” I would ask. Then I would find out that Richard was missing too, and I would know she was on … More Ten Brother Colors
MICHELLE A, DO NOT READ THIS POST! (At least not without Josh checking first to make sure it doesn’t give away too much.) So it turns out that being a matron of honor in your best friend’s wedding does not suffer the optimist who thinks “sure, i’ll have free time to keep blogging!” The wedding … More Seven Baby Objects
So this post is backdated because, um, (a) I wrapped the relevant items before taking pictures, and (b) they only got unwrapped yesterday (11/2, in real time), and it was totally worth surprising Emily. Six wee mittens for six wee hands. It was about a week before Christmas when I realized “crap, we have no … More
This is the story of the only pair of socks I knit in all of 2012. When I saw Jonica last Christmas (or was it two Christmases ago? Oh dear. I think it was last Christmas) she gave me a bunch of stash yarn she didn’t really want any more. In this delicious load was … More 5 Steps of Sockage
The stretch continues, as today’s “big reveal” is a commission I’d forgotten to tell you about. But, like all commissions, it came to me in a rather funny manner. It all started with a note left for me at the shop, which said something vaguely about a person named “Danielle,” some “Alpaca – Llama spun … More 3 Llama Objects
On the second day of Christmas, my true love got from me… Jared and I have a tradition four years in the running now: we knit each other hats for Christmas. But, being largely practical people (as opposed to fashionable), we can only collect so many useful hats. So sometimes our hat is not a … More Two Sides of Hat
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… It’s Christmas! Really and truly. We even got some wintery mix yesterday that left a carpet of thickish frost to look snowy in the morning. And this, our last Christmas without little children for a very long time, was perfectly lovely. Jared and … More A Cardigan- or Vesty-type Thing!
It’s two weeks before Christmas, you haven’t found a gift for that special somebody, and you’re starting to get panicky. Never fear! Osborn Fiber is here, with some delightful hand-knit items for sale. I have things back from Sweetwater that didn’t sell, and while I’ve set a few things aside to be Christmas gifts, I’d … More Last Minute Christmas Shopping?
It’s like Shark Week! But with hats… so not quite as exciting. Or at least not as much blood, or mercury-laden piscenes. My hat plan for Sweetwater Holiday mART was very well thought out. My logic: I’m cutting my hair really short right before winter. Meaning that even if I wanted to do my hair … More Hat Week!
Making Lemonade EDIT EDIT EDIT – I just found out that my rejection letter from the arts center was a MISTAKE. Good grief! Well that’s comforting. Everyone who’s requested things from me already, THANK YOU, and the items are yours (unless you change your mind, which is fine). Everything else is off the market for … More Making Lemonade
