So…. It’s not June anymore. But my June socks still look like this: There’s no getting around it; I really didn’t make it this time. And it’s not because I didn’t have enough knitting time, or because a single thing went wrong in the knitting or the pattern. It wasn’t even because I don’t like … More June-ly
This day, the 27th of June, is the first day you’ve seen June’s socks. This is at least partially because I didn’t start these socks until around June 18th. In a lame attempt to make up for their relative invisibility, yesterday I took pictures of the sadly still singular June Sock all over town. Outside … More Oh right, June.
Apparently my need for simple knitting was thoroughly satiated during my two weeks of insanity, because for the past two days I have picked up In Dreams and have been knitting on it for hours at a time. After probably 10 episodes of various Stargates (what’s the plural of series? Seriei?) and a few hours … More So Complicated
Random random random! 1. It is now that 20% of the year in which all I want to do is go to the pool, and all I want to eat are raw fruits and vegetables. (Not to be self-righteous; the rest of the year all I want to eat are fried carbohydrates.) I am sitting … More Random Summer Wednesday
This is a post that needs a subtitle: “It’s like a Block Party, but in the Present Progressive!” Which is oddly symbolic of so much in this post. I have surfaced from two crazy weeks by the skin of my teeth. There was a lot of reading, a lot of sitting in class, a lot … More Blocking Party
Since Rebecca is crazy busy at the moment, and I have a bit more time, I thought I’d let you see the knitting I’ve been doing since Sheep and Wool, MD. After all that spinning, I had to put the wheel and drop spindle away so as to focus on Vacation Bible School which I … More Spring Knitting
Warning: this is a post about theology. If you were looking for knitting content, you might be very bored. But if it’s compelling enough for me to bother writing a blog post about it, it might actually be generally interesting, since I would usually much rather post about knitting. But then again, maybe I’m just … More Merit. Huh?
This is just a little note to tell you, I’ve hit “It” again. The Yarn Harlot talks about “It” – usually associated with the Christmas season – when you realize you have so much to do and so little time to do it that you are going to have to carefully schedule every hour of … More Public Service Announcement
Happy almost-Pentecost! This Sunday we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the newborn church, fifty days after the Resurrection. The Easter season is coming to a close, and we enter into the second half of the liturgical calendar, in which we focus on growth and walking in the way of the cross in … More Spirited
I have been knitting. But I have also been: Planting seedlings. Watering the seedlings of others. Transplanting seedlings. Playing with power tools. [As an aside: check out the beginnings of my magnificent sunburn. This happens to me about once a year. June or so rolls around, I am still pasty white, and I congratulate myself … More Other Activities
