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
For anyone who has ever attended YAG (Young Adults Group at St. Timothy’s church), you know that somehow, over the course of the year since we formed, our time together centers around three things – nerdy discussion, tea, and yarn. Out of the four to seven regular attendees, three of us knit and crochet. And … More Yarn Empowerment & Plain Cowl Pattern
“This is the shawl that doesn’t end,” “Yes it goes on and on, my friend.” “Some poor sap cast it on one day, not knowing what it was” “And she’ll continue knitting it forever just because” “This is the shawl that doesn’t end,” “Yes it goes on and on, my friend.” “Some poor sap cast … More With Apologies to Lamb Chop
For the uninitiated, FO stands for “finished object.” It is the hoped-for destiny of all the UFOs lying around our houses – “Unfinished Fiber Objects.” You’ve been patiently waiting in your pictureless prison while I galavant about, finishing things and not telling you about them, so here is your due. On Thursday, Sept. 3rd, I … More FOs on Parade
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?
A few things you should probably know about me: (a) I am obsessive. When I get it into my head that I want to do something, sleeping is a challenge until I get it out of my system. (b) I am dangerous. It takes a very small amount of research for me to feel I … More In which my fingers turn black
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
