Sometimes — admittedly, not often, but sometimes — everything turns out just the way you hoped it would.
If you had asked me what I wanted to see in the men’s Olympic gold medal hockey game, I swear I would have said, “I want Canada to play the U.S., I want both teams to play very [...]

I only knit one Christmas present this year. It was a shawl.

The Fleece Artist Goldielocks Triangle Shawl, to be exact. You know, the one that I’ve been calling the Shawl of Doom. It’s 56% Kid Mohair, 24% Silk, 20% Nylon, and 100% infuriating. The colours go very well with my giant purple stuffed hedgehog, but [...]

You may notice that the date of this post is a HORRIBLE LIE, since I am posting it well after Halloween. But these are the two pictures I meant to post on Halloween, and then I didn’t do it for some reason (i.e., laziness, forgetfulness). They are Halloween-themed, though, so please, let’s all just feed [...]

My mother recently adopted two kittens! There is a black one

and a white one,

and the word on the street is that they are both very rambunctious (I believe the word “evil” may have been used). Which is to be expected. We kittens are are a rambunctious lot. I have not yet met them, but plan [...]

Believe it or not, it’s not because I’m too lazy to write that I haven’t been posting. It’s because I’ve been too lazy to crop and de-uglify my photos in Photoshop. I consider writing photoless posts, but then I think how stupid that is when I have so many relevant yarny photos on my hard [...]

A few weeks ago I went to a Great Big Sea concert in Moncton with a friend of mine, which was of course awesome. Spirit of the West opened for them, and this was also (of course) awesome. Seriously, how often does the opening band get a standing ovation?
What was not awesome: the annoying drunk [...]

Once in a blue moon, I really do finish things. Or at least thing. Remember that stuffed kitty I meant to knit about a year-and-a-half ago? Yeah, I barely remembered it either. I finally sewed it and stuffed it, though, and embroidered a little kitten face on it, so that I could give it to [...]

It’s still rather disorganized in my new apartment, but at least I have Internet again. In the realm of project/results-based knitting, I have nothing to show lately except for… (insert theme from Jaws here)…
SHARK CLOTH!

We did a Summer Secret Santa thing at work, and I made the shark dishcloth as one of the gifts for [...]

For a while, there was not much knitting, as I needed time for spinning, latch hooking, and a weaving workshop (yes, photos of these things to come eventually), but lately, there is knitting and the knitting is pink.

Embossed dishcloths are not the easiest things to photograph, but I guess you can get a good enough [...]

Last weekend, I bought a book called Creepy Cute Crochet. Zombies! Ninjas! Trojans and Spartans! These are the most adorable little creatures ever, and clearly I must learn how to crochet someday so I can make some of them. I’m sure there are other reasons why I should learn, but this is the one that’s [...]
