Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
You know how much I love guessing games. This time, I’ve come up with a really good one, and I’ve got a pRiZe for the winner, even. Some of you know that my sister-in-law Emily is expecting tWiNs in February, and before I knew what happened, these booties just sort of fell off my needles. … More Celebrating Babies
When friends move across the country and leave their stuff at your house, it is a nice thing to send it to them. It is sort of unreasonable to delay the shipping of said thing(s) because of a complex plot to actualize an inside joke in a bizarre, cross-referential way. But if it’s even occurred … More Fake Parenthood
I love how lace looks while it blocks. The curves that were squashed on the needles curve elegantly; the noodle-like appearance disappears into smooth flatness, open work blooms, and stitches even themselves out. My husband looked at the large crescent on the floor, grabbed a couple of zauberballs and my pinbox, and did this: Now … More Annisthesia
Yesterday was an amazing day for finishing things. After six and a half months, Sunrise through Whitewashed Windowpanes are finished. Pattern: Windowpane Socks by Chrissy Gardner, published in Interweave Knits Spring 2008. Yarn: Louet Gems Fingering (white) and Trekking XXL (multi). These socks were begun in January for a class taught in the spring, and … More Finishing Day!
Who knew, that after a month so disgustingly hot that the only people outside of their own free will were automatically inducted into the Maryland chapter of the Brotherhood of Masochists, that the last two days of said month would be so relatively cool and beautiful that a photo shoot of knee-high double-thickness socks would … More Is it winter somewhere I can go?
Hello. Hanna here. No, Hanna does not have a second H. It’s short for Sesquahanna, so don’t get it wrong. Yes, I’m back at the Osborns. No, I’m not interested enough to tell you why. Rebecca (who patronizingly calls herself “Aunty Rebecca” in my presence; ugh. Really.) has me writing her blog today. Don’t ask … More Yes, I will answer to “Your Highness.”
Our trip to Ambridge, PA last weekend (yes, I know I’m a bit late) was very chill. We didn’t go many places; all the apartments we visited were in town; heck, we spent one afternoon just playing Civ IV, multiplayer, “hot seat” style. (“you know you’re laid back when.”) On July 4th, we lit a … More Does this Fair make my Butler look Big?
*Felicitaciones a la España, quien vencieron ayer por primera vez en el World Cup en 2010. En su honor, escribo este entrada en mi español avergonsadamente mal, lleno de cognados falsos y circoluciones. Pongo una traducción mas o menos literal por abajo, y voy a escribir enteramente sin diccionario. No he practicado en tanto tiempo que … More Victoría!
During the last stages of finishing my Evenstar shawl, I’ve found myself having to answer this question: How do you finish knitting something for someone who has died? When I signed up for the Evenstar Knitalong by Sunflower Designs, I gave the project very little forethought. Lord of the Rings? Lace? Circular shawl? I’m in. … More Over
As of today, Jared Osborn and myself have been friends for ten years (when we met) committed for six years (minus ten days- DTR) in mutual affection for four years (when we started dating) in love for three years (when we got engaged) and married for two years. I want to say to my love, … More 2 years
