I’ve recently bound off two projects, both gifts for people I’m psyched to know, one a duplicate version of something I made for myself in the past, both to be elaborated on a later time....
Will be rambling about knitting over here now: knititorforgetit.wordpress.com . So feel free to follow that if you are so inclined.
Just a few days shy of the first official day of spring, and I’m already paring down everywhere I possibly can, including cleaning up some of the digital space I’ve been taking up. I hav...
Last March I was starting (and four days later, finishing) my owls sweater. This pattern is wildly popular, which is in no way surprising. It’s a total treat to knit, and in aran yarn on size ...
Last weekend I finished up my Swallowtail Shawl, a surprisingly quick knit. This was my post-grad-school-application-l aying-in-bed-listening-to-audi o-books knitting. It was also my reminder-to-not-kn...
I am lucky enough to wake up every day to this: But now I also fortunately get to wake up in the morning to my very favorite kind of invitation: I love being invited to coffee. Getting coffee with a ...
Islay’s bunny hops are done, and I had a good time working on ‘em. They were a fast, affordable and exciting project. More importantly, she was happy with them, and I’m sure they wi...
I noticed in a conversation recently with someone near and dear that when asked how my day or weekend has been, I tend to lump “good” and “productive” together to describe wha...
So I finished my Emerald about a week ago, but have been too busy to stop and document it. This means two things: I have been actually busy doing real things that are not just knitting or thinking dr...
Briefly: been finding time for quality hanging with new and old friends, saw Anthony Bourdain speak at PPAC (for free! thanks Amelia!!) made some of this coleslaw (delicious, but does not quite meet ...
Just a little mid-week inspiration from one of my favorite movies. If this doesn’t start your day out on the right track, I don’t know what will. Also, quickly, maybe right now is a good ...
January 11th! I’m totally feeling, maybe for the first time ever, that New Year’s adrenaline rush. I’m feeling pretty productive, and at the same time I’m somehow managing to ...
2009. It’s over! I feel totally okay about that. Looking back, it’s a bit of a blur. I know I spent a lot of the year hermiting with my cats, listening to audio books, and knitting. Sadly...
Um yeah, I’ve maybe resorted to using CIV references as blog post titles. So, that’s cool. Perhaps you’ve been wondering how the rest of my Christmas knitting went over? All members...
i’m sure it is not at all surprising to hear me say that it’s still blowing my mind that christmas has come and gone. and of course, i’ve forgotten to take pictures of most of my fi...
well, a few friends on flickr may have noticed that i looked gloriously fancy yesterday. this is because i got to spend my afternoon at a photoshoot for berroco. what! i know! i will tell more for re...
well, less than two weeks to christmas (and only one week until i go to pennsylvania to hang out with my family) and i am making some serious strides back toward sanity. meg and i mailed our red scar...
as i have been saying (and saying, and saying and saying), my life has been a little wild lately. but it’s under control. i just watch disgusting amounts of murder, she wrote, and when the goin...
oof. only five days in and i am already so over this month. today i forsook productivity to instead spend seriously the entire day wrapped up in the world’s most insanely warm fleece blanket, a...
first, here’s a picture of some knitting progress to make us feel good. this is mi escuelita, a jaunty little sweater for my jaunty little sister: okay, so. i officially deem this month “...
tomorrow is thanksgiving. how? it feels like it was JUST thanksgiving last year. whatever, i am thankful for and excited about more or less everything. yesterday i spent a pleasant afternoon explorin...
it’s not totally done, but seriously, i am psyched to be so close: i still need to weave in ends and block this. i got really discouraged on my last sleeve. can you see the imperfection? i real...
hey meg! your eunice socks look so nice! and they inspired me to post pictures of my own just-finished socks: toe-up knee highs, knit using the provisional cast-on toe and short row heel detailed in ...
just a quick break from my furious knitting to help spread the word about the red scarf project. this is a scarf drive that benefits college students who have aged out of the foster care system. obvi...
it feels good to be up and with a fresh pot of coffee before 7 am. it’s rainy outside but i am nice and toasty and ready for a morning of peaceful solitude, reading and knitting. i wouldn’...
just taking a quick break from my holiday knitting to let ya know that i’ll be at mass market 5 on sunday, december 13. mass market 4 this past spring was a lot of fun, and full of treasures, s...
i seriously can’t believe how time is flying by. november, already? agh! i have been very very busy lately, assembling and packaging zine orders, working (because i know i never mention it, but...
granted, my main priority right now is holiday knitting. but it doesn’t mean that i’m not still peripherally aware of the massive destash that i promise will happen…after christmas....
i lied a little about doing nothing but knitting from now on. yesterday gary and i took a little field trip to mt. washington state park to hike around bash bish falls. bash bish. i know. it was tota...
sunday was rainy and gross from start to finish. so basically, it was perfect for digging into my christmas knitting without feeling guilty for not being outside enjoying awesome fall weather. this y...
