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 [...]

Way back in October 2006, I knit a scarf. Three balls of Katia Mexico in a 2×2 rib. Upon finishing the knitting, instead of weaving in the ends (of which there were only six), I chose to ignore it for a billion years. I finally got around to weaving in the ends of the Rainbow [...]

How I love them. The Road Potato Socks actually fit on human feet, specifically my human feet. This is both unexpected and charming.

They do manage to be two slightly different sizes, though. One is a little too big and the other is a little too small. (When I say “a little,” I really mean that. [...]

Maybe Groundhog Day is supposed to be in February, but I don’t care. I had my own Groundhog Day in August. Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Rockwood Park and I made friends with a groundhog. Isn’t he just the cutest thing ever? (This is the groundhog, not my boyfriend.)

Well, the cutest thing ever [...]

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 [...]

Yes, I know it’s weird to have a post titled “Instant Gratification” when it’s been so long since my last post, but of course these really were quick knits. I’ve just been lazy about photographing stuff.

Ria is knitting a bunch of wee little hats to send to London for a charity campaign organized by innocent [...]
