Practicing my ABCs and 123s on the internet since 1995.
Last week I anxiously awaited word that the IRS had received my payment. It hit me then that I was truly an adult. Not owning a home and paying a mortgage. Not having a child. Not voting. But rather, waiting for the federal government to take a crap load of my money. That’s what signified… Read more Signs You’re An Adult
Well, it appears I’m just no good at this anymore. I’m posting once every six months it feels like. I blame facebook for this. I tend to post my random thoughts there. I’m trying to not do it as much, but sometimes it’s easier to understand the context if we’re friends. Things are going well… Read more Just No Good At This
Forgive me knitters, for I have sinned. In the last week I have sinned twice. The first time was when I bought two sweaters. Each were $3.00 and very nicely made. They were on clearance and to purchase the yarn for such a single sweater would have been easily ten times as much. My second… Read more Forgive Me
OK, folks, more links. Sewing: Woven needle books. You could use swatches for these! The Eddie Cap tutorial is for a cute little train engineer type cap. Cute. Knitting: Zetor is just an awesome lace shawl! A knit chocolate bunny pattern. I may knit this for my soon to be niece. A Jelly Baby knitting… Read more Roundup
Parsnip cupcakes. I lurv carrot cake. The original apparently called for carrots, but was changed to parnsip. I wonder if I could just swap back the carrots. DIY kilt. Oh fun. A quick correction to the Burridge Lake Afghan that I hope to one day knit. A craftser post about a little bit of passive… Read more Links
Ravelry user mazzmatazz has been behind the awesome Dr. Who knitting patterns. On their website, there are patterns for a knit Cassandra, a knit Ood, a knit Face of Boe, and a knit Tardis. Cute! I’m hoping that I see a pattern for the adorable Adipose sometime soon. I think it is interesting that there is… Read more Ood Doll
I’m thinking of listing some things on etsy. I have had an etsy account since they first opened, but I have never used it. I am thinking it is time. I will have some “stuck at home/can’t go outside” time next week, so I am thinking it is the perfect thing to keep me busy.… Read more Cleaning House
I have been adding stuff to my stash list on Ravelry. My purpose in doing this is to try and find ideas for the yarn I have. I inherited a large amount of acrylic. I want to use it up. I have donated some, but I do want to make some things. So, I am… Read more Ravel Stash
So I checked out the new knitty and there are actually a few patterns I like. Halcyon – It seems simple. I don’t know if I would get much use out of it though. Jeanie – I really like this. I don’t know if I would get use out of that either, but I really… Read more New Knitty Stuff
I’m lacking motivation, due mostly to me being sick. My husband is sick as well, so that isn’t helping anything. I was motivated this morning. I managed to paint one side of a door (it is outside and on tables) and sand a wall. However, I have other things on my list of things to… Read more Motivation
