I found a totally cool hat in a charity shop this year. It is a red cowboy hat with marabou trim, a tiara with light-up jewels and a band that says, “Merry Christmas”. It is sooo me is it not? All of this Christmas goodness for only a pound!!!!

So, the application is done and dusted and sent off to Imperial College to pore-over and now I get to work on a few things. I didn’t really feel right blogging too much when I had this application looming over my head, like a great e-sword of Damocles. However, it is done and there is …
So, I have been working on some sock yarn projects the past week. One is a beginning and one is a finishing (finally!). I guess that I will start with the end. I finally (Praise Yarn!) finished my first pair of socks! I finished knitting the first sock some time ago but then never finished …
So, it is Christmas Day afternoon, and you are sitting there looking at the insane mountain of paper that you have just torn off the presents. Did you know that in most places they don’t consider this paper recyclable? Especially if it is shiny, or glittery or (worst of all) metallic. So I’m going to …
Ok, so maybe not, but I sure feel like it after the epic battle that I had blocking my finished Finnish shawl. Say that five times fast, I dare you. Actually, it really wasn’t that tough. I know, you are just about ready to gouge my eyes out right about now aren’t you? After checking-out …
I cannot believe that I forgot to tell y’all that I finished knitting my shawl last night! I still need to work in the two ends and block it (not an un-daunting task that!) but otherwise it is done! Here is a picture of the unblocked shawl. The photography doesn’t do the Wollmeise colors justice, …
So, I am still working on an application to grad school. I’m not stressing about getting in but this application is also the application for scholarships from the university, which I am a bit stressy about. It’s not the application itself that is all that difficult, rather the essay that is required for which there …
On Monday night I attended The Bothered Owl’s Christmas party. I mean really, how could I not? Drinks, yummies and yarn were promised, a trifecta of siren calls for me! I also knew that my favorite indie dyer was going to be there, Jon from EasyKnits, and he brought his hubby Roy! I just adore …
So I’m sitting here this morning having my breakfast of Skittles and Dr Pepper (What? This isn’t your typical breakfast?) and editing pictures of the trip to Estonia and Finland and I realize that I am supremely weird. Not eccentric, not odd, not a little la-la but full-on weird. I WANTED to go to ESTONIA …
My favorite box of Kleenex ran out today. I love the little sheep on it. Especially the little, lonely, black sheep on one side. I kind of want to keep it, but that’s just a little too Hoarders-esque even for me. Sigh. I tried to find more of it at the shop, but now it’s …
