How Do You Measure a Year?

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Well, that was an awfully long hiatus to go on without planning it. The first couple of months can be attributed to my general laziness, but I’ve been experiencing extreme fatigue since September, which didn’t leave me with much spare time, or at least not much spare time in which I was conscious. (As a [...]

Meet the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee!

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

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, [...]

The Christmas Knitting

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

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 [...]

Leia

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Leia was my princess, my angel, my baby. I know exactly how sappy that sounds, but if you weren’t expecting some sappiness, what are you doing reading a blog called KnitKitten, anyway? I had always wanted a cat, but my parents weren’t cat people (especially not my father), so they wouldn’t let me get one. [...]

Not Actually Roadkill

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

As predicted, I’ve been really busy lately. A while ago, I did the easy part of the knitted kitty, the knitting part, but unfortunately, sometime I’m going to have to do the more difficult part, the stuffing and sewing, because until I do that, it won’t resemble a kitty in the slightest. Well, maybe a [...]

Cat-coloured Yarn

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Recently, I went to Cricket Cove looking for “soft, cat-coloured yarn” because I want to knit a kitty. (Actual knitting = garter stitch. Stuffing and seaming = bleh.) I decided on some Louisa Harding Kimono Angora for what I hope will be a calico cat kind of look. When I will find the time to [...]

But it pours

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Yes, I have been scarce around these parts lately. I blithely sail along for ages with all sorts of free time, and then several job interviews converge upon me at once, leaving me no free time at all. It should ease up soon, though. The best way to distract people from one’s lack of anything [...]

I hate January.

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

I hate winter in general and January in particular. I’m not depressed, just unmotivated. The idea that tomorrow it won’t be January anymore is perking me right up, although I’m not extremely fond of February, either. I’m at least motivated enough to finally post some photos I took while visiting my parents over the holidays. [...]
