It’s been quiet on the homefront! I’ve been very busy with managing my home businesses. It’s extremely rewarding, but certainly doesn’t leave me with much personal time. The personal time I do get HAS been spent knitting, and the stress relief is incredible. First off, some standard washcloths. Knitting these for some friends who have recently had children, [...] Knitting Olympics project. Zoe by Emily Kausalik. Knit with Noro Kureyon Sock S164. Cast on three days into the Olympics, cast off as closing ceremonies ended. A bit past the torch extinguish. A fun knit! Now back to socks. :) I come bearing patterns. A pattern for a cute little ferret sweater. :D Palom, my adorable, huge boy in the photos, was kind enough to model the sweater for me. In fact, he’s still wearing the Noro one. And napping. He loves his sweater. I made two, a blue stripey one and one from leftover Noro sock. [...] I’ve been hit with a bug. A bad cold bug. I’m pretty positive it happened when everyone visited for Winterlude. My body has a tendency to incubate viruses for a long period of time, generally three weeks or so. Given that, this one’s right on the money. It also is no coincidence that the Pirate has [...] This past weekend, I had a handful (about seven) of my friends visit my beautiful city, to hang out and take part in Winterlude festivities. I’ve done this over the first weekend of February for the past three years. We’ve dubbed the event “AwesomeCon”, and it becomes more like an actual convention every year. This [...] Any gamer worth two cents has played at least ONE of the Mario games. Thusly, nearly every gamer knows of the mighty Chain Chomp. An enemy in the Mario Bros. franchise, they first appeared in Mario Bros. 3, as a black ball with eyes and teeth, attached by a chain to a block. The chain would [...] This week has knocked me on my noggin. Just been very ill with some sort of flu bug, and between that and some house turmoil, it’s been a stressy week. Luckily, I have a little bedheaded pal who always greets me when I need a cheer-up. This is my chinchilla, Yuffie. She’s small and spazzy, and enjoys chilling [...] Goodness, I’ve had a one-track mind. For me, and knitting, this is strange indeed! Even the Jaywalker has taken a back burner, and hasn’t seen much progress since I last posted it. I’ve been putting all of my time and focus into one project, one that I spent hours designing, measuring, swatching, and now finally knitting. A [...] Completed things just brighten my whole day! First, I finished the first RPM sock… …and have cast on for the second. No slouch, no sir. I also knit a friend, for a friend. He is knit from BitterSweet’s Crazy Kiwis free pattern, and is for my friend Corrie for her birthday, as she adores kiwis. I also snagged myself [...] Whoa! Hey, it’s been awhile. The time has come to stop neglecting the blog. Lots has happened that should have been blogged about sooner than now. New projects have begun. (RPM, using Gypsy Girl Creations in Winter Solstice, a gift from the Pirate) I purchased some yarn from far far away. (Well, Pittsburgh. Soft Sea Wool and Malabrigo [...] |
