a shedir near-disaster

December 30, 2007

So I was taking some UFO photos of a hat I’d been working on the other day when I noticed something. A mistake. In my otherwise perfect, glorious, tiny tiny cables.

First I took this shot of the hat, then I looked down and cursed every curse in the book:

Not seeing the problem? Check out this […]

blogging from my own cozy dark cave

December 22, 2007

I slept until 11 on the shortest day of the year, apparently. Is that today? I have no idea. Anyway, I blame the dog. I didn’t set an alarm because she usually wakes up somewhere between 8 and 8:15 like clockwork. Not today, apparently. Even though I last took her out at about midnight, she […]

mmmmm dog hair

December 13, 2007

Here’s what’s currently on my knitting docket:

finish that pink thing (almost […]

the Christmas crunch!

December 4, 2007

Well that yarn I ordered from knitpicks finally arrived last week … it took FOREVER. They were still within the range of days they originally said they would be, but it still took way longer than it should have, in my opinion. I was a little extra anxious since the yarn is for my dad’s […]

oh COME ON!

November 27, 2007

I’ve been waiting on a package of yarn from knitpicks (seriously knitpicks, let’s get it in gear and get that yarn out, it’s been a little while) to start the aforementioned felted clogs for my dad’s Christmas present (knitpicks, seriously. Christmas is rapidly approaching. I don’t want to be pulling knitting all-nighters when I should […]
