Why I knit, #15
Because it’s friggin’ cold outside. And damn – hand-knitted socks sure are cozy. (And I previously rationalized this to myself by saying that I’m knitting because I’m cheap, only then I thought about how much I actually spend on yarn … Continue reading
Woo, loot.
Wherein I am no longer one score and six, and also wherein I use vowels lots and not variously. Anyway. This past weekend’s radio silence was due to the fact that I was forcibly not doing anything except fun things, … Continue reading
And do you know what else?
I really hate PowerPoint. Thanks. I needed to get that off my chest (it’s like a giant, sleep-inducing crappy Microsoft product, intent on lulling me into a stupor. Huh huh. I said “stupor”).

Still not a spinner.
And also, in denial. Swimming with crocodiles. That is to say, I bought a drop spindle made with a labradorite whorl, purely because it is shiny and on etsy and I had money burning a hole in my pocket (apparently). … Continue reading
Why I Knit, #10
As if I needed another reason to buy things at IKEA. No, really. Apparently I do. It’s a nice, easy thing to organize. I’ve got them arranged according to yarn type, and then probably color (though since I can see … Continue reading
I have knitting!
Like, new stuff. See? I gave up on using the Marrakesh to make the Rivendell socks. Instead, I’m using Lotus Yarns Aura (it’s the one with the sparkly bits) in the Walking With the Ghost colorway. It’s perfect (thanks to … Continue reading
