Kim’s decided to try to make a dent in her stash, and is inviting others to join her in her three month Stashalong. I haven’t decided for sure if I’m going to participate yet, but I did make her a couple buttons to use. And she likes them. Hey, Mikey! The button above is transparent […]

You Are Rudolph

Sweet and shy, you tend to be happiest when you’re making someone else happy.
Why You’re Naughty: You sometimes stick that nose where it doesn’t belong
Why You’re Nice: Christmas would be a sad affair without you!

Which of Santa’s Reindeer Are You?

One knit tube. Done. Well, except for weaving in the ends. I hate weaving in ends, so who knows when I’ll get around to that. Since these aren’t meant to be worn outside my house, perhaps I’ll wear them anyway. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised. After many tryings-on while knitting last night, […]

Ooh. I forget sometimes how quickly knitting goes with fatter yarns and larger needles. I’m knitting these on size 5 circulars (32 inches, as it turns out), and am already nearly done with the first wrist warmer. I know. It doesn’t look like much here. Just a tube…

But then I put it on so you […]

Yes. I’m still sick. Poop. Still can’t really talk, either. Every time I try I cough like mad. Thank goodness, though, for small favors, such as saline nose spray. The stuff works better than I thought it would, doesn’t hurt like the other kinds tend to, and is much safer to use. Yippee! So, while […]

Do you have rules in the way you stitch? (i.e., Do you start in the middle? Do you determine which blocks to stitch first? Do you always start from the top or the bottom? Do you have special paths to prevent wasting thread?)

Whenever possible I start at the top left corner of the design. The […]

When I got up this morning and looked out my window, this is what I saw. Not a whole lot of anything! Okay. I know I’m weird, but I have to go down as saying that I love fog—so long as I don’t have to drive it in when it’s too thick to see where […]

I have never in my life purchased anything from Mary Maxim, though from time-to-time I’ve been on their mailing list. Imagine my surprise when I received not just a catalog, but a free ball of yarn from them in yesterday’s mail! All I can think of is that at some point I must have signed […]

Before sharing the kind of flower I am, I’m tempting you… tomorrow my blog will include photos of my finished Kiri shawl(!), as well as a rundown on my holiday weekend. Ugh.

You are a Rose:

You are creative, sensual, passionate, and bold. You pour your heart into everything that you do. Alluring and gifted with strong […]

The Noble Princess

You are just and fair, a perfectionist with a strong sense of proper decorum. You are very attracted to chivalry, ceremony and dignity. For the most part you are rather sensible, but you are also very idealistic.

Role Models: Guinevere, Princess Fiona (of Shrek)

You are most likely to get kidnapped by a stray dragon.
