resurrected

By me • Jan 27th, 2008 • Category: cats, knitting, today's blog 365 post

For years I’ve been waiting to be out of this transition phase in my life. Ever since I moved away to go to college at the age of 18 I haven’t lived in any one place for longer than a year. Sometimes the moves have just been from one apartment to another, sometimes they’ve been [...]



pay it forward

By me • Dec 18th, 2007 • Category: blogs I read, holidays, knitting, school

The only thing worse than the brain-busting, sleepless nights, and complete loss of confidence that is gearing up for finals is that span of time after you take them but before the grades have been posted. It’s my purgatory here on earth. I”m sitting on pins and needles here, checking Blackboard approximately every 10 minutes [...]



he wears it well

By me • Nov 6th, 2007 • Category: cats, knitting, nablopomo

Marty is modeling the begining of Tubey. I’m finding tiny bits of time to do the miles of stockinette for the top, which is actually wonderfully mind-numbingly soothing right now. But I’m having second thoughts about the project as a whole though. I haven’t worked out for the last three weeks, thanks to the same [...]

seamless

By me • Oct 20th, 2007 • Category: knitting

At least it is for now because I’ve lost my knitting mojo for the day - look what I’ve been doing while studying and taking my web classes.

It’s just a sweet little sweater for Gretchen, hopefully it’ll be big enough to fit her this winter. She’s still such a teeny tiny little thing that I [...]



new cure for the common cold

By me • Sep 26th, 2007 • Category: being sick, knitting

If it’s cold and dreary out, and you’re still fighting a lingering chest cold, I swear that this will make you feel almost as good as a bowl of chicken noodle soup (even better if you hate chicken noodle soup as much as I do.)

make yourself a a nice hot cup of tea
change into an [...]



an impromptu photo shoot

By me • Sep 24th, 2007 • Category: Ravelry, cats, knitting

(disclaimer- there will be lots of cat photos at the end of this post, if that doesn’t interest you come back tomorrow)
So I’ve been obsessed with Ravelry lately. Really, really obsessed. Why? Because I’m a big geek. For those of you that aren’t fiber geek bloggers it’s sort of like MySpace for spinners, knitters, and [...]



Ravelry!!!!

By me • Sep 14th, 2007 • Category: Ravelry, knitting

I just got my invitation - if you don’t hear from me for a while it’s because I’m spending all of my free time over there!
