I’m a twit

Posted on July 23, 2009 by HappyGoth

In that I tweeted this, and now I’m posting it to my blog: I should remind myself in the future that if I watch these things, I will cry, and if I do so at work, I will embarrass myself … Continue reading →

Have I entered another dimension?

Posted on July 23, 2009 by HappyGoth

It sure seems like I have. You know sometimes how you go a place that you’ve been several times, and you’re used to it being a certain way, but when you go the next time it’s completely different and so … Continue reading →

*sigh*

Posted on July 21, 2009 by HappyGoth

Now that RUM is over, I don’t quite know what to do with myself (I imagine this is short-lived). I have done some more spinning, and am almost done with half of the 8 oz of vegetable-dyed roving. I’ve also … Continue reading →

The choli vexes me

Posted on July 13, 2009 by HappyGoth

First, though, I got a lot done this weekend. I finished one of the Rivendell socks (it’s a little short, but not wholly uncomfortable), plied my first singles (woohoo!) and then sewed up the ghagra and patka for my garb. … Continue reading →

Because

Posted on July 9, 2009 by HappyGoth

I’m kind of a grump today, I’m sharing more of what I learned. In that, as an unintended consequence of blogging about the print process, I have a good start on documentation for the project! Hooray! I shall explain. SCA … Continue reading →

I pass on knowledge

Posted on July 8, 2009 by HappyGoth

To you. So. I learned many things this weekend, but here is the summing up, so that in the future, others can learn from my mistakes. 1. Soft-soft, hard-hard. That is, soft blocks print better on soft materials and hard … Continue reading →

I have conquered Gaul

Posted on July 6, 2009 by HappyGoth

Well, no. I haven’t. I have done something monumental (for me) this weekend, though. I block-printed 4 yards of fabric. Allow me to say, though, for the record, that although I freaked out completely that the madder I ordered hit … Continue reading →
