Coyote serenade

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

It’s 0:dark-30, and we were just serenaded by our neighborhood pack of coyotes. They went on for a couple of minutes tonight. Wonder what set them off tonight. They probably caught something. It’s funny. Living in the midst of literally millions of people, how common coyotes are in certain neighborhoods. Like mine. It’s a tiny […]

Nearly done

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

I actually finished knitting two things on Sunday. The In the Woods, and a new knitting bag. I started felting the bag on Sunday, but the rubber band I was using to hold the pillow case closed kept coming off in the wash and the bag escaped. Lots of dark green fuzz ended up in […]

In the Woods

Monday, September 29, 2008

I’m being a bit lazy at the moment. I’m not going to upload all the pictures I have so that you can view them in my blog. You’ll just have to go over to the In the Woods pattern page in my shop to see them. There are lots.

Pattern: In the Woods, of my […]

Because he said so

Thursday, September 25, 2008

Dave says that I should give you a post every day, even if I don’t feel like I have much to say, don’t have much time, have no pictures, blah, blah, blah. So, here goes.
Patterns
I spent the entire morning today migrating two patterns from Word to InDesign. Yup. Took a while. I think it’s […]

A little yarn pron

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Yarn arrived on Monday. From Elann. Yarn for lace. Their Baby Lace Merino, to be exact. In two colors: Cypress and Ruby. This yarn is lovely. It’s a 50/50 blend of baby alpaca and fine merino, and boy is it soft. It has a tiny halo from the alpaca that lends a little something special […]

Other stuff

A bit of this and that…
It’s the time of year to submit your finished scarves to the Red Scarf Project. If you need a free pattern to knit, there’s a pretty cabled scarf pattern available over on Knitting Daily.
Ahoy, mateys. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Cap’ns Chumbucket and Slappy have two books […]

Finally

Thursday, September 18, 2008

Two days in a row. A recent record. Gads. Sorry I’ve been so absent lately. I’ve been needing many more hours in a day than I’ve had lately. Frustrating when I can’t get everything done in a day that I want to.
On Monday I wanted something easy to knit while at knit night. So, […]

Pathetic

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Absolutely pathetic. Nearly a week between blog posts. Gak! I’ve been knitting. When I’ve had time. The stole is getting big. I’ve started the faun’s eyes, but only just. Haven’t knit on it at all since Monday. Mom’s in town on a tour thing, staying in a nearby hotel. She skipped the tour schedule yesterday, […]

I need longer days

Thursday, September 11, 2008

I finished up a In the Woods shawl chart last night, and was too lazy to print out the next one. Good thing I had a sock to work on!

  

I’m actually a little farther than this now. I took these pictures two days ago, hoping to use them in my Wednesday post. Hem. I’m […]

Sugar Push

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

I feel like I’ve been going like gangbusters lately what with so many pattern releases. It’s about to come to a temporary but screeching halt. Anyway… Let me introduce you to Sugar Push, the mitts I designed to go with the Flying Lindy socks. Both patterns use the same stitch pattern. I have plans upon […]
