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 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 […]
Another blogiversay—or is it blogoversary? Either way, three years ago today I started my blog and wrote my first post. It’s rather amazing. I’ve made some wonderful friends, some few of whom I’ve met in real life, most I haven’t. But whether we’ve met face-to-face or not, your friendship, kindness, support are of immense importance […]
I’ve been tinkering a bit today. This morning I added a small sidebar to all of my pattern pages that has text links to all the other pattern pages. In addition, I changed the Diamonds in His Shoes and Forget-Me-Not pattern pages. I removed the patterns from those pages, forcing people to download the free […]
As promised, here’s a picture of my completed Sizzle. It’s a horrible picture, taken in the bedroom against the mirror that we do our best to hide with a huge and unwieldy headboard (the thing is ghastly, but I haven’t yet been able to do a thing about it—ugh!). Much better pictures of the nearly […]
A hard drive failure took out our server a few days before Christmas. I know. Great timing, that. Not. Anyway, my wonderful husband worked throughout the holiday, yes on Christmas Day too, and is slowly getting everything back online. Thank goodness for daily backup, huh? Yes! I have a blog again. Oh happy day.
Hope you […]
I still have half a ball of the lovely “teal” Zephyr Wool-Silk, and it’s been wanting desperately to be knit up into another little scarf while I figure out what to do with the other colors I have. With that in mind I’ve spent a little time here and there digging through stitch dictionaries again […]
