I've been trying to post more regularly, but sometimes, well sometimes good intentions are all you got. So what have I been doing instead? Well I've been sketching up designs and writing patterns like whoa. But of course I can't post any pictures. I built a swift/skein-winder. Yes, yes I did. I used this
It's been a busy weekend. Friday included a get-together with some of the man's old high school friends, which was quite fun, and kept us up until the wee small hours of the morning. The boys - who had come along - were quite excited to see 1 AM. Saturday I taught a beginner's class at ...
I dyed two skeins of yarn last night. Trying a new merino/nylon base that has alpaca blended in. It's super soft undyed, and I'm very interested to see how it feels when it is dry. The alpaca will make for warm socks (for someone who doesn't live in the sub-tropics) and it gives the yarn ...
I've finally started a group on Ravelry. I decided it was the perfect place to host chatter, post shop updates, and put out calls for test and sample knitters. So please, come and join us! It's a good place to keep in the ...
So I spent a few hard-working hours cleaning and reorganizing the office/yarn room. Found lots of yarn that I forgot I had. So now I have a nice long list of design ideas for said yarn. It also gave me some closure on some things. Sometimes it's very, very good to just be able to ...
Got up this morning to see the man off to work and actually stuck to my plan. I had planned to get the boys in the van with their bikes and head over to Memorial Park to get some walking in. And I did it! Was I tired? Am I sweaty? Am I ready to ...
I've been experimenting with artsy photographs of stuff. Today it was food, buckeyes to be specific. Chocolate-peanut-butter perfection.
Nevermind the fact that my initials are C.F. I am not. My home is a warm and happy jumble. There are very few things that I require to be just so. As long as I can find the coriander, I don't really care how the spices are arranged. But I think I'm becoming a control freak ...
Seriously. All this secret knitting is just killing my blog. Killing it I tell you. I feel the urge to take artsy texture shots of the projects in question just so that I can show you something - anything. But alas, it would not be wise. Yesterday we did a yarny roadtrip. I drove in the ...
It's been a busy week. Lots of friends to visit, lots of housework to do, lots, lots, lots. I've been designing like crazy and dyeing yarn and I'm beat. It's just been one of those weeks. And to add some interest to the week, Thursday night Rufus escaped. I had just arrived home from a quick ...
