There was an earthquake last night, in the wee hours. It was small enough, from here, that I know I wouldn’t have felt it one little bit, if I hadn’t been awake already. It was just a 4.1, and it was centered up near Yucaipa, near Big Bear. I always find it interesting to look […]
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 […]
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 […]
I can’t believe how crazy things have been around here. A bunch of printed patterns were delivered while we were away. They’re all sorted now, stuffed into their sleeves, and put into binders to keep them safe. The update email went out to the shops that carry my patterns. We have a new customer management […]
I’ve been knitting furiously on the red shawl for Karen. I only have 24 more rows to knit before I bind off, and get to block the finished shawl. We’ll see how far I get today. It’s possible this thing will be blocking by the weekend. Woot! I’ve been having such fun knitting this that […]
I don’t have any progress pictures for you, as it’s the middle of the night, and much, much too dark for photo taking. Rest assured that good progress is being made on the shawl for Karen. I had a bit of a glitch yesterday, forgot to put two beads on it. I ended up tinking […]
I haven’t ripped out the huge bag yet. I did some poking around on Ravelry, and found Angela’s Fabulous Felted Bag (on Ravelry). Before and after felting sizes, and gauge are all listed on the pattern. I had one little thing that I wanted clarified, asked, and received a very nice response from Angela within […]
I don’t have much for you today. The knitting projects have grown. They don’t look much different than they did yesterday, especially the bag, at least not to a camera’s eye.
I did get something fun in the mail yesterday, though. I’ve talked about Book Mooch a number of times, and all the fabulous books […]
I’ve been a sock-knitting maniac lately. Got the gusset done on the second (still nameless) sock yesterday, and a bit more besides. I’m going to be so glad to have these socks done. They’ve been a thorn in my side since I first cast on in what? Early March? Ugh.
The first sock is a […]
