My plan had been to spend most of the weekend knitting. After last week, I certainly needed that time. So much for plans. They’re meant to be changed, right? That’s the whole point in making them in the first place, right? Hm. We went out on Saturday afternoon, swung by Costco. “Swung by” being the […]
Most of this morning was taken up with doing a bunch of that sniggling paperwork that always takes more time than it seems like it should. That bit is done for now, though. It’s amazing all the things I can think of to do when there’s something that needs doing. I’m procrastinating. Again. I was […]
Making progress on the dress for Stephanie. I spent a bunch of time with a full chart of the armhole decreases yesterday before it dawned on me that, once again, I was making the whole thing much harder on myself than was strictly necessary. That bit figured out and written up, the knitting progressed quite […]
I went, I waited, I was sent home.
That’s pretty much how my day of jury duty went yesterday. Because I’m self-employed, and my employer, tight-fisted thing that she is doesn’t pay me for 10 days of jury duty, I managed to escape two different trials that were in need of jurors yesterday. That part […]
It seems like I’ve been finishing things right and left lately, and all of them—well, almost all—have been blue, green, or some combination thereof. I’d still be knitting on the blue West Coast Swing cardigan, but I need different DPNs in order to knit the sleeves, and I can’t go one stitch farther on the […]
The socks are done
I’m not actually sure how to count this. In the end there are two finished socks. But along the way I knit three of them. I don’t know if you recall, but originally I knit the first sock with needles a size too big. Don’t ask. I have no idea why I […]
Amidst a flurry of activity, I released the market/string bag pattern yesterday, To Market.
The plan was to sell the pattern for a mere $5.00, but after looking into it, poking around on Ravelry, I decided that no one would ever make it, if I tried to sell it. There are just too many free […]
The Santa Ana winds have been blowing again for the last few days. Yesterday morning they were especially bad. Bad enough that they blew out a local cable line, and pulled down power to a good chunk of our neighborhood for seven hours yesterday. From 9:15 am to 4:30 pm we were down. No power. […]
For the last several months I’ve been scouring poking around on the Internet, looking for a dressmaker’s form that I can use to display shawls and things on, so that I don’t have to hang them over the railing. The glass blocks are nice enough, but are rather distracting. I’ve periodically tried to enlist Dave’s […]
I’ve got to get ready to get out of the house, but wanted to share a couple of in-progress cardigan photos with you. Here they are. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
P.S. Denise, I love using these little flower stitch markers! They’re awesome. Haven’t snagged a petal yet.
