I have four sets of cables done now. Finally. Though the rows aren’t very long—only fifty stitches—for some reason it feels like it’s taking forever to get anywhere.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I desperately want to start a new sweater for myself? Or even a pair of […]
Yes, HP7 has a title now. It’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (type that five times fast). I’m totally excited. Can’t wait for this to be published. I’ve been wanting to re-read books one through six lately, but am holding back. I want to read them just before Deathly Hallows is released, so they’re […]
I’ve been stitching merrily away at the Iris quick stitch. I have a good portion of one petal done, as well as a total of approximately sixteen hundred stitches. The shades of turquoise in the petal are sheer joy.
On a knitting note, I’m still plugging away on the scarf for my uncle, and I’m about […]
Back on the eighth I promised more photographs of the smoke ring, but this time modeled so you could see how it looks on. We finally had some time during daylight hours to take the pictures. Dave got a little silly—or maybe started out that way—and started taking pictures before I was ready for him. […]
Have you heard about the problem Blue Moon Fiber Arts had with their old bank, the one that had their credit card account? It’s all over blog land. I read about it on three blogs this morning (Stephanie, Wendy, Deb). So far. Seems the people at the bank didn’t believe that hundreds of individuals would […]
What are you reading right now? (Well, obviously, you’re reading THIS right now, perhaps I should have been more clear. What book(s) are you in the process of reading? (grin))
I am currently reading David Eddings’ fine series, The Malloreon (again), and am on book two, King of the Murgos. I’ve always loved fantasy. Ever since […]
The secret project is finished. I’ll have photos of it for you next week. I’m ecstatic that it’s done. Knitting completed, ends woven, fit verified (I tried it on real quick), wrapped, and ready to be given tomorrow. It’s not blocked yet, but that’s a difficult thing to sneak.
Can you tell?
I have a lot left to do, but will get some basics done—pages, sidebar layout, etc.—before I toddle back to bed.
I want to make the post column a little wider, I think. But I’ll leave that for when I’m more awake. I also need to change some of the images, the way […]
Last night I grabbed myself a circular size five needle, the two balls of navy yarn, the pattern book, and cast on. The pattern is a fifteen stitch repeat, plus five, so I cast on fifty stitches to have a scarf with a reasonable width. The yarn is so dark it’s difficult to see where […]
Do you dream of running your own LNS/ONS? If so, tell us about your dream. If not, tell us about your cross stitch dream… maybe you dream of designing, dyeing your own floss or fabric, etc.
I already have my own ONS, Laura’s Books, and Laura’s Books on eBay. I sell a small selection of Leisure […]
