I have been sorely neglecting the cross stitch pony as of late, and I should really get back to work on him soon, so that he does not think he has been put out to pasture.

No, he doesn’t look very much like a pony so far. Maybe slightly, though.
I had one of those weird moments […]

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 […]

My first sock is all finished and, wonder of wonders, it actually looks like a sock.

Darn this people having two feet thing. Oh, well. It could be worse. I could be a millipede.
As a break from the pair o’ socks, I’ve cast on for another SWS seed stitch scarf with big needles, because it is […]

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 […]

My boyfriend and I went to the New Brunswick Museum on Canada Day because admission was free then. One of the things there that I hadn’t seen before was the temporary exhibit of quilts from the New Brunswick Museum collection. I was slightly disappointed that only about twelve quilts from the huge collection are on […]

Just proving that I really have made significant progress on Live Simply. Just a small bit of blue left, and then the backstitching.

I wish the fabric was a lot more yellowy than it is. (I realize it doesn’t look at all yellowish in this picture, but it does look a bit more yellow in real […]

Go wish Ria a happy birthday!
I got a considerable amount of work done on Live Simply on Tuesday, because I had an unexpected day off. I couldn’t go to work for a completely ridiculous yet completely legitimate reason: I stubbed my toe. But I stubbed it really hard, shortly before I was supposed to go […]

“When am I going to be in your blog again?” my boyfriend asked me.
“If you do something cute,” I said.
“Okay.”
“You could buy me yarn,” I suggested. “That might help.”
The sewing-up of the knitted kitty is still on hold because I realized I’d been sorely neglecting my Live Simply cross stitch, so I’m trying to work […]

Apparently all the job interview preparation worked somewhat, because instead of being unemployed, I am now underemployed. In all seriousness, although I haven’t started my new part time job yet, I expect to enjoy it.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and I received some birthday yarn. I’m not one to look gift yarn in the mouth, but […]
