If it wouldn’t fit anywhere else, it’s here.
Lil’ Brownie got a special treat this weekend: It was the knitting of choice for the Renaissance Festival in Annapolis, MD. This week (as it always seems to be when we go) was Oktoberfest, with the usual (extra) emphasis on beer and Germany. He was treated to all the usual sights. The wrapping of the may-pole … More Socktoberfest
Do you remember that old TV show Connections on TLC or PBS or something? My parents loved that show. I think they taped it. Anyway, it was one of those documentary shows where they’d tell you the history of the workings behind some random stuff. But on this show, the random stuff was all connected … More Connections
Today was an amazing day for Lil’ Brownie. After being further pampered last night by going on display at my Mary Kay party (everyone go buy stuff from my friend Liz Zurn! ), and getting a celebrity visit from StH, you’d think that a sock really couldn’t ask for more. And if you thought this, … More Sock Dreams Come True
I thought I was being really good to my new sock today. I thought I would give him a real treat while introducing you to something else new – my new job. A day full of such excitement and possibility would be a perfect place for a sock’s debut. Meet lil’ brownie: Posed among my … More 23-Sep-2009
Over the past couple of months, when there was pretty much no use in even attempting to justify more yarn purchases, I started the ol’ “But I’m going to make this into a Christmas present” routine. Well, just now I finally took a few minutes to take stock of the Christmas knitting I’ve promised myself…. … More Making Christmas, Making Christmas, Lalalaaa
I know I’m a crappy photoless blogger right now, but I have about 36 hours to finish turning a pile of 9″ squares into a finished blanket. It’s for a raffle. For the prayer shawl ministry. For the Catonsville Arts & Crafts Festival. On SUNDAY. (Yeah. My idea.) I didn’t find any Screech (Newfoundland Rum; … More God save me from any more brilliant ideas
A few weeks ago I was at a sit’n’knit at Cloverhill, I mentioned this blog. One of the ladies asked, “What’s the name of your blog?” and I blanked. I think what I actually said was “Guh…” The only name this blog has is “Rebbiejaye”, which doesn’t make much sense outside the world of … More What’s in a name?
I had this grand plan today to make you a nice long post about my hand-dyeing adventures, but it was not to be. At 8:45 I left the house for a job interview in Owings Mills, about half an hour from our apartment. Actually, it was two interviews – the temp agency liked my … More Proof that knitting is good for the nerves
Hey folks… my apologies to those of you out there who have been hanging on by your fingernails, dying to hear (and see) what’s become of me over the last week. My totally legit excuse is that I quit my job a couple of weeks ago, so in addition to being on vacation, I’ve been … More Cape Crawl Adventures!
Another super-fast, photoless entry, this time from a room in my aunt-and-uncle-in-law’s bed and breakfast, cranked out before stopping by Uncle Dan’s new apt. and trying to get in some beach time before we skip town back to the Cape. Yarn stores in RI are fantastic. So much for our “no more sweaters’ worth … More Rhode Island Ramble
