WTF Wednesday

Let’s hope the woman in the picture didn’t suffer the same fate as poor Beauregard.  It’s one thing to be taxidermied, quite another to be taxidermied and painted bright yellow.

Unfinished business

I tend to lay things aside.  I start a project with incredible gusto, dive right in head first, no holds barred.  And then…I get bored.  Something else needs to be done, or the project isn’t going as well as I thought it would or is much harder than anticipated, and I do the easy thing [...]

Lazy blogger

I suppose that’s what I’ve been lately.  It’s not that I haven’t been knitting, I’m just not thrilled about anything I’m working on right now.  I finished the SWTC test knit, which I LOVED and learned so much from! (you tend to do that when you knit something a bazillion times)  I’m really happy with the finished [...]

Stashy stashy stash stash!

My LYS, Knit Nouveau, is moving (closer to me, hallelujah!) and their inventory reduction sale started yesterday morning at 10:00.  I took my “lunch” at 10:30 and man, did I ever score!  I was worried that only novelty yarn would be reduced, and there was plenty of that to be sure, but there was also [...]

Koigu and Unibroue, Or Why I love Canada

Whew!  Back from Memphis!  Tom Waits was AWESOME, I am so glad we went!  He played the one song I really wanted to hear – Invitation to the Blues – but I loved everything he sang.  I know they’re all the rage right now, but Tom Waits is a real pirate. Memphis was great, too!  [...]

A present!

I got a present!  How fabulous is that?  I told Kat with Southwest Trading Company about our roof troubles, and she sent me this: Three skeins of Amaizing yarn – their new yarn made out of corn!  Or, CAAARRRN, as they say in Indiana.  That was SO sweet of her!  I’m also working on a [...]
