Spinning.
Posted in Spinning on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I actually managed a little spinning. For some reason I lost my spinning mojo at the end of the year. Burnout, maybe? Or just obsessed with new things? Looming looms, for instance?
Anyway, trying some small manageable fibery bits, such as this 3.5 ounce blue faced leicester (allegedly, but I’m not sure) from Maryland two years [...]
Cross.

Well, this is what I’ve been up to. I was thinking that I have so many cross-stitch kits that I really could stitch them until I die and still not be done. But then I thought if I could do one a year (which is way too optimistic a goal), I might get them done. [...]
Two Things.

Two of the G-Man’s projects, which everyone should take part of:
Dreamtown USA
Blitzometer
Ok. Just go read about Dreamtown. But you people should all sign up for Blitzes. (Not blintzes. Sorry.) Be on the lookout for a knitting blitz. Or a napping blitz. Come on! It will be fun!
Cozy.

A while ago Mrs. Crafty blogged about her new super clever n’ crafty method of making tea cozies out of old sweaters. Well imagine my surprise when she gifted me the very same cozy! I was so touched. How nice to have such nice friends. I’ve never had a tea cozy before. I could just [...]
The Great Warping Disaster.

But really, it all comes out all right in the end.
Lucky thing my first attempt at weaving on the giant Kyra was something narrow, and crappy. No, no. The finished product isn’t crappy, and yes, the colors are Fabulous, but it is only crappy chenille. It took three, count ‘em, three days to warp that [...]
Sydney Day 1
Posted in Travel Bits, Uncategorized on Monday, January 14, 2008 | No Comments »
Oh yeah, there was that trip.
We flew from San Francisco to Aukland, New Zealand, arriving about 530am. Then to Sydney, arriving about 10am. So, on very little sleep, we headed out to see the sights.
This lovely fountain was just up the street from our hotel in King’s Cross. I can’t believe Buffalo isn’t one of [...]
Seven

Each time I try to think of seven random things, they’re all negative. Oh well. Here we go.
1. I can sit and knit or cross-stitch or do little high-focus things for hours on end. But if I’m cleaning out a drawer or a closet, I lose interest halfway through and just wander away. To knit, [...]
Bother

Ok. I seem to have lost (and by lost I mean carefully Put Away in a Very Important Place) my handy dandy photo card reader, which made life so much easier than plugging in the whole camera to the computer. So, no pics.
Really, no pics to take, anyway. I am in project limbo: each and [...]
Catching Up II
Posted in Knitty Treats on Saturday, January 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Koigu socks for mom. Not that thrilled with the Koigu experience. Knit up the first one in, uh, 2006, and used up almost the entire skein, and it was too small for me. (It’s always about me.) So, perfect Mom Socks. Finally got around to sock number two, and finished it, pathetically, the day [...]
