More Blueberry knitting done. These baby socks are from the recipe on the Lisa Henderson knits blog. It’s a pretty simple recipe, though since I didn’t really have much to compare them against, they came out a little shorter than I might have liked. I’m planning on doing one more pair, so I may try […]
Yeah, so I started out the morning at the Fibre Company tent sale. (It was actually the yard sale for the company owner. She recently got a distributor who is dying the yarn for her, so she’s going to move to England to start up another version of the Fibre Company over there. I want
I finally got around to reading the second of Allison Croggon’s Pellinor books. It was a great, quick read, and I’m definitely enjoying the world she’s built. The story picks up directly after Maerad and Cadvan’s escape from the city of Norloch, and follows our heroes through some of the outer lands of Edil-Amarandh. This

I’ve decide to do the Sockdown Challenge on Ravelry this cycle around, mostly to keep myself honest and try some new patterns. There’s a pretty good list going for the coming year, and I’m looking forward to doing some new and different things. September’s challenge is to do either an orange sock, or a Cookie

We spent the morning at Kettle Cove, which is the free side of Crescent Beach State Park. It’s not quite as beachy, especially today, as we arrived at the highest point of an usually high tide. It was also strangely quiet for a holiday weekend. We had our pick of parking, and were able to

I hate to say it, but I wasn’t feeling that so much with Coyote Blue. The premise is certainly a good one: a Crow Indian named

Well, now I know the summer has been flying along. It’s time again for Carl V’s R.I.P. Reading Challenge. (The mind boggles!) I’m going to do Peril the First this year. This involves reading four books out of any of the subgenres represented in the challenge, sometime between 9/1 and 10/31. I’ve actually been saving

My first Sock Yarnista shipment has arrived! I got the Silver Bay colorway of this month’s Beckon Super Merino. Sadly, the light’s not so good today, so the photo above doesn’t really do the color any justice. It’s definitely a good icy blue. I’m really tempted to start on this month’s sock pattern. I need
Jaywalker sock number one is done! I have absolutely no idea when sock number two will get done, as I seem to have acquired a number of other project I should really be doing in September, but I can’t afford to tie up my sock needles. So we’ll see when I get started on number
We spent yesterday tooling around York County, something we used to do with a little more frequency in the summer before gas prices went through the roof. It was definitely nice being on the road and seeing what was open/closed/changed since the last time we went through. We stopped at a couple of used book
