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 [...]

I am trying to think happy thoughts, but it is not easy. A soothing picture of the sock near a lighthouse might help. Luckily, I just happen to have one.

Know what is a very happy thought? Lots of yarn.

The only thing I like more than lots of yarn is lots of books.

Baby-sitters Club books are [...]

That’s how many different people were photographed holding my first Tangled Up in Blue Sock when I took part in the New Brunswick Photo Scavenger Hunt for World Wide Knit in Public Day.

Well, sixteen including myself. Hey, I count, too, ya know.
This is a guide at the Carleton Martello Tower, who said, “I’ve worked here [...]

I am not the one who originally said that this pink strip of knitting looks like a stomach lining, and I didn’t pay quite enough attention in biology class to know whether it really does or not (Tip: If you’re thinking of doing a Google Image search for “stomach lining?” Don’t.), but I’ve been referring [...]

The sock has had an eventful few weeks. It went to Prince Edward Island, it went to a Bob Dylan concert, and it went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Since the Dylan show (you can see the set list here), these socks are now known as the Tangled Up in [...]

A week ago, I finally started my second pair of socks.

OnLine cotton sock yarn, pastel blue with stripes. Today at lunchtime, a co-worker was knitting socks with the same yarn, same colourway, which was kind of surreal. We were knitting socks in stereo. Quadruplet socks.
If the socks try to cause me any trouble (and they [...]

We interrupt this knitting blog (what, you mean there’s a knitting blog here? What?) to bring you pictures of flooding in Fredericton. If you have ever wanted to know what the parking lot of the library looks like when it is underwater, I don’t know what kind of weirdo you are, but boy howdy, have [...]

For a while, I was focusing on cross stitch, specifically this pony, which is not hard at all, but the browns can wear on you after a while, so I’m taking a break from it until I finish my hat.

I love this hat kit. Although maybe I shouldn’t be saying that before I’m finished, in [...]

Ah, yes. I promised last month that I would post some yarn pr0n photos, did I not?

Fleece Artist Merino Boucle. It looks something like dreadlocks, but since Fleece Artist also has a yarn called Dreadlocks, it is probably not wise to describe it as such.

Crack Silk Haze. Duuude. ‘Nuff said. You don’t know how badly [...]

Recently, Cass and I decided that certain things earn you cool points, and certain things earn you geek points or nerd points. But what a lot of people don’t know is that most geek points are actually secret cool points in disguise! (Unfortunately, some things are actually too nerdy to give you secret cool points, [...]
