I just returned from a long weekend in Mass, having attended the seventh annual alternate Thanksgiving celebration held my a group of my college friends. I’m coasting down from an insane sugar high. (The pie-fest was perhaps not well timed, as I have my first physical with a new doctor on Tuesday, and my weight […]
My weekend started out with a lovely girl’s breakfast out with my mother, followed by a mutually enabling trip to some local craft stores. We checked out a little fabric place on the East End, where I found this great fabric: I’ve recently found out a good friend is pregnant with her second child, and
I think I’m starting to understand the near rabid devotion to sock knitting that I’ve been seeing out and about in my blog/podcast travels. I cast the above on last night, and actually worked on it until my eyes were starting to hurt. It was just so fun I didn’t want to put it down!

I finished my mobius scarf tonight! It was so wonderfully easy to make, fits perfectly, and is so warm! I admit to a certain disappointment about the color. It’s called moss, and was a little greener in the photos when I ordered it. I don’t dislike this color, but it doesn’t match either of my

I was in a bit of cleaning mood last night, so decided to take a tour through my UFO drawer and the spillover on the top of the set of drawers holding the UFO drawer. In the grand scheme of things, I’m actually not that bad off, but the pile is still a little sobering.

It finally feels like freakin’ Fall! (Well, ok, these pictures were taken in the insane heat on Saturday, but they sure look fallish! Can I tell you how annoying it is to have to pack for a simple overnight trip away when they’re projecting a 20 degree difference between days? At least Sunday felt as

Just got back from my knitting class, and things are getting rather exciting, as my project is actually starting to resemble a garment! I have achieved armholes! (Or at least half of one.) Hurray! Now, if my right index finger would just hurry the heck up and develop a callus already, life would be perfect.

I finished a project! Sure, it’s done entirely in garter stitch, and is shorter than most of my scarves (which may actually be a good thing), but it’s done, which is much better than I can say for the state of my quilting projects. I do like the opportunity to make something more compact with
