Also, I have different hair! Halloween was the Big Reveal on the new ‘do, but I was so distracted by new knitwear that I totally forgot to post about it. The Side Shot: This chop had been a long time in coming, and it feels really good. I’m still learning to style it – me … More Oh, Right!
It is part of our unique brand of weirdness that the hubsband and I have started playing Dungeons and Dragons (to allay the fears this hobby will raise in some: it is all good fantasy fun; we are not worshiping demons or any such like. We’re just a band of adventurers out to have a … More Heroes of the Oak
On the long list of little things Mum and I got done while I was briefly home last week – has it been over a week already? Sheesh. – we did a delayed photo shoot of several samples. These two, the Beaded Tunic Sweater and the Rose of Edgeworth, are already published patterns, but I … More Spring for Fall
Sometimes in life, major tragedies happen. Then there’s everything else. Let me explain. When I dye yarn, after I rinse it, I spin it in my washing machine to get all the excess water out. This makes it dry a good bit faster. I’ve done this dozens of times, and at least once in my … More Disentangling
Reading week was a lot of fun. Now it is over, and I realize just how much TV I watched. Mostly because folks keep asking me, “what did you do during reading week?” and my gleeful response is, “I watched TV!” I don’t regret it for a second, at least partially because I also did … More For Reals
This week began with the most epic TV binge I’ve had in a while. TV usually leaves my brain in a pile of steaming poo, but the Doctor has the ability to amp up my creativity like few other creative franchises I’ve run across. It also enabled me to do a completely sick amount of … More Good Influence
It was a dark and stormy night, and of course timing required that we drive from Highland to Reisterstown at the time of night with maximum traffic on the Baltimore beltway. We still managed to arrive our destination forty-five minutes early, because we’d left two hours for that thirty-mile traverse. We weren’t going to mess … More Funny Humans
Uf! So much posting to catch up on; I’ve had a crazy start to the week. Posting the short one for you today, to show some nerdy cross-pollination: Extreme knitting nerdery meets extreme video game nerdery – knitwear design going on at Barcraft Pittsburgh. (I was one of three girls present who actually cared at … More Fly-by
As weird as my obsessive hobbies are, I’m sure you’d agree that they’re a pretty good way to keep a handle on an addictive personality. Notice how I’ve never done drugs? But sometimes I get on these jags… these obsessive little spats where a task just takes over until it’s done because they’re so wonderful. … More Jag
I love to take pictures of our homegrown veggies. It’s even more amazing than knitwork to me… I can hardly believe these were just seeds six months ago! And now harvest time is upon us. I check the weather every day to see if the frost is immanent, so I can pull in all those … More Harvesttime
