We interrupt this knitting blog (what, you mean there’s a knitting blog here? What?) to bring you pictures of flooding in Fredericton. If you have ever wanted to know what the parking lot of the library looks like when it is underwater, I don’t know what kind of weirdo you are, but boy howdy, have [...]

Recently, Cass and I decided that certain things earn you cool points, and certain things earn you geek points or nerd points. But what a lot of people don’t know is that most geek points are actually secret cool points in disguise! (Unfortunately, some things are actually too nerdy to give you secret cool points, [...]

I thought that I’d start having some free time again in September, but, oh, how all occasions do inform against me. A staff member at one of my jobs quit rather suddenly, so between my two jobs, I am working crazy extra hours once again for the time being, until her replacement is hired.
Thus, there [...]

Last weekend I went to Bangor with my family. On Monday morning, I took the Road Potato Sock to look at Stephen King’s house.

One nice thing about my parents is that when I get out of the car to take pictures, they point out that I still have my knitting with me, and I say [...]

All right, time for my more detailed post of Harlotry. I eventually found a drive back to New Brunswick from Halifax. I emailed Deb, who was able to take me as far as Truro but suggested emailing Jennifer, who wasn’t sure if she could make it and was probably taking the bus, but suggested I [...]

I have the worst timing in the world. I just spent several days in Halifax, and the day after I got back, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee announced that she’d be in Halifax on August 7. (Hrm. I wonder what the venue is. So far it just says “Details to come” on the Harlot on Tour page.) If [...]

My boyfriend and I went to the New Brunswick Museum on Canada Day because admission was free then. One of the things there that I hadn’t seen before was the temporary exhibit of quilts from the New Brunswick Museum collection. I was slightly disappointed that only about twelve quilts from the huge collection are on [...]

The Summer 2007 Knitty is up. Yay.
Aren’t these the coolest cupcakes you have ever seen? There’s also a tutorial posted by the cupcake-maker showing how she made the marzipan into knitting-themed shapes.
I made a bracelet for one of my coworkers today. It’s her birthday. It’s hard to tell in the picture. but the blocks are [...]

Or rather, Mega Man’s face is two-toned. I can’t decide which colour to use for his face, which is why I’ve still got a few stitches left. I did half of his face in the colour that I thought would look best (DMC 3855) and then half of his face in the colour that PC [...]

On Saturday, I went to the library in Dartmouth, which I never do, because they have a really good children’s reference section there, which I needed to use to work on assignments for my Services and Resources for Children course. The Dartmouth trip also had another purpose besides schoolwork. See, the library is very close [...]
