If it wouldn’t fit anywhere else, it’s here.
Saturday, Noel and I manned up for men’s health. Or, well, mo-ed up. For the prostates! Because, as Noel put it, men shouldn’t have to go through this alone. So the traditional moustaches for mo-vember were met by our mohawks. What’s the deal? I’ll be honest, at first Movember seemed like a great excuse to … More For the Prostates!
Better late than never, welcome to November! Which is, as some powers that be have declared, Men’s Health Month. Or something. If men can spraypaint their hair pink, and football players can wear ghastly pink trainers and caps, all for the sake of curing breast cancer, then women can totally participate in supporting men’s health. … More Movember, Moustaches, and Mo…?
At some point at the end of September, I found I had made a decision to actively participate in Fall. No matter what else was going on, no matter how busy I was otherwise or what I had to set aside, this year I wasn’t going to let the inset of harvest, fall beauty, and … More Fall [Is] Upon Us
Our wooly journey headed back towards Providence from the northwest, then back towards South County where we stay during our visits. On the way down we stopped at a random orchard, where we bought some crunchy early apples, And an ice cream place called “Awful Awful.” The milkshake was fine; I’m chalking the whole experience … More Yarnsplorations, cont.
There’s only so many times you can blame absent-mindedness on pregnancy. I’m going to find out exactly how many that is. I promised you the tale of our wool-related adventures in RI, then promptly got sidetracked by trying to get the last clue of the Pentecost KAL out the door. Then I got distracted by, … More Yarnsploration
Folks who know I knit can be quite perceptive at times. They know that having a baby on the way is pretty exciting for a knitter… especially one who really likes going SQUEEEE! at adorable small baby clothes. How can you not love this? Oh yes, I’m excited. (Also, DUH we’re finding out the gender. … More Knits for a Knitter’s Baby
As I’ve said before, some patterns are born full-formed from the mind; some are vague ideas that come to fruition after extensive research… and some are inherited. From yourself. Back when I first started knitting intensely, when I believed that there was never any need to buy anything but the cheapest available option of a … More Behind the Design: Ordinary Time
Just a little post to say: I have 1/14 of the pentecost shawl left to knit. I am not letting myself knit anything else ’till it’s done. I really can’t wait to start something new. Reading novels is a lot of fun. Especially when you’re avoiding knitting. Mansfield Park is much more entertaining to read … More I Am Alive
Phew! I hate blog posts that are mostly apologies for not posting, but I’ve finally earned the indulgence. To make a long story short, new drugs started about a month ago have knocked me flat on my proverbial arse, and just the idea of going to get my camera, let alone writing a coherent blog … More Lazy Days
I have a deadly serious problem. A problem I was in denial about until a week ago. For the past several weeks, every time I knit for an hour or three, I’ve been experiencing a twinge in my left shoulder. Nothing serious, and it never hurt while knitting; but immediately afterward, I started to notice … More RSI
