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 FINISHED! Pics tomorrow when there’s natural light, or maybe the next day since I plan on blocking it. WOOOOO So, long story sideways, two days into the Olympics, I changed my Knitting Olympics project. The mittens will still happen, but not in that deadline. I have too many modifications to make. I switched to something doable in the time left: Zoe. I used to wear scarves/bandannas this way all the time, and I’d love a [...] For someone like me, knitting is currently a slump. A ditch, if you will. Mind-numbingly boring. I’m consistently working on chain chomp hats, which are knit with acrylic yarn and are dumb-easy to work. Even so, I managed to screw up one by making it too short. Hurrr. I always have them on the go, as there are some [...] Um, there are pictures. Just not on this computer. Found out two days ago that no, Acer can not fix my computer because somehow, I fried the entire motherboard. And I’m not using the word “fried” because it sounds cool; there were literally burn marks on the panel. Oops. WTF? The good news is, the hard drive’s data [...] Working on things that make me monetary gain has taken up a lot of my time. Mostly reviewing design work, and designing a few things for friends. I received news today that a local printing place has offered me an interview. This is really exciting, since I’d like to do pre-flight work full time. It’s [...] Jack’s blanket is sure to have arrived. I’ll need to call the sibling and find out. In the meantime, knitting has been a bit slow, but on the uprise. Between beating illnesses and getting some profitable freelance work done, the time for knitting has been narrowed to movie-watching. Luckily, that was the Christmas gift of the [...] The past little while has been very busy! The time that I have had to knit has consisted of hauling an easy-to-multitask project in my bag, which has lately been the Rowan Felted Tweed scarf. Even then, I’ve not made enough progress on it to make a seemingly big difference. I did, however, treat myself to [...] I have a new camera! It’s a Canon Powershot A570 IS, and it’s really spiff. I have, of course, been wasting most of its battery on taking yarn detail photos, because the old camera couldn’t do such things. Here’s the possum fur yarn, redux. And a detail shot. Be it known I took about six of these. I’m [...] |
