I have second sleeve syndrome. I promised myself I wouldn’t cast on my second Embossed Leaves sock until I’d at the very least finished sleeve number two for my Sitcom Chic sweater. Naturally, I then took about three days off from knitting of any kind. I also managed to place a Knitpicks order, where I […]
Ok, I’ve figured out exactly why I love Ravelry so much. In the midst of doing a little recon work on Alex O’Loughlin of Moonlight (because he’s so pretty, and last Friday’s episode was just so nice in a lovely, good cheesily romantic way!), just for kicks, I checked to see if there’s a Moonlight

So just yesterday I was telling my mother that I’d been avoiding the garden centers because I really wanted some pansies, but didn’t quite know what to do with them, so wasn’t going to buy any. This morning, at her church, one of the parishioners brought in a ton of pansies she didn’t want any
So I finally figured out where Seaport Yarns is down in the Old Port, and decided to go check them out today. I came out with two skeins of sock yarn, one of Jitterbug, and one from a local hand dyer: I’m actually really excited about the local yarn. I’ll freely admit to loving my
