No, I didn’t entirely forget that I had a blog. Yes, I did entirely forget to update it. I’ve been thinking lately that this site seriously needs a design makeover, which will take some time to do. Every time I think about posting, I just feel bad that I haven’t had time to prettify my [...]

I had a partially written blog post a while ago, but I scrapped it. It was supposed to be a funny post detailing the suckiness of my life lately. My fridge was broken, then all my electricity stopped working and I couldn’t even plug in my fan in the middle of a heat wave, then [...]

Today is rainy, gloomy, and horrible. I actually like rainy, gloomy, and horrible weather, but today it’s a hindrance, because my boyfriend and I were planning to go to the fair today, but “rain at times heavy with the risk of a thunderstorm” does not seem like ideal conditions for riding large metal contraptions outdoors. [...]

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 [...]

My back finally stopped hurting so much, although I had to take a few weeks off from knitting while it healed. Then my boyfriend and I went on vacation to Québec for a few days during Carnaval. We ate a lot of good food, went on a tour of the ice hotel, and did much [...]

No, I’m not kidding; I really did buy underwear tonight instead of doing laundry. In my defense, I am not completely out of clean underwear. I just don’t have many clean pairs of comfortable underwear, and purchasing more seemed like the most time-efficient way to remedy this situation, since tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I [...]

Lately I have been lax in my picture-taking. There has been knitting, and a little bit of spinning, and good lord has there ever been stash expansion, but I don’t really have much photographic evidence of such. By the way, the amount of expansion is much less frightening if you don’t include knitting and crochet [...]

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 [...]

For all intents and purposes, I have finished knitting the Tangled Up in Blue Socks… but I can’t actually wear them until I weave those four ends in. The plan is to do that tomorrow morning, although I shouldn’t have said that, because as I’ve mentioned before, claiming on the Internet that I will do [...]
