Laziness Is an Art Form… Right?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

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 [...]

Someone Special

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

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 [...]

Not Quite Back, Due to Back

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

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 [...]

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 [...]

Buying Underwear Is the New Doing Laundry

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

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 [...]

Why I Did Not Blog All Month

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Yeah, National Novel Writing Month will do it to ya.
I did knit quite a lot in early November, but that meant I had quite a lot of writing to catch up on later in November. Hence, no time for blogging.

A Sock That Rocks

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Some people are good at getting Canadian rock stars to hold a sock (or Henry) for photo ops. I always thought that would be fun. So on Tuesday night, I asked Kevin Young, who plays keyboards for David Usher and played keyboards for Moist, to hold the sock I’m working on. (Of course I brought [...]

A Brief Announcement

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

On Sunday, I’m participating in Run for the Cure. If anybody would like to make a donation to support of the advancement of breast cancer research, education, diagnosis and treatment, I had the link to my online donation page here, but there’s no point in leaving it up now that it’s a dead link.
The baby [...]

Kitten + 2 Many Babies

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

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 [...]

Think Pink

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

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 [...]
