Anglers, stripes and washing.

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, [...]

Zoe

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. :)

Knitting Olympics Results

I FINISHED!

Pics tomorrow when there’s natural light, or maybe the next day since I plan on blocking it.

WOOOOO

Mittens to Zoe

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 [...]

Redundancy

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 [...]

Computer woes

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 [...]

Legalities and work

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 [...]

Mind concoctions

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 [...]

Winding balls and contemplating projects

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 [...]

It’s all in the details

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 [...]
