So, I travel a fair amount. More than some, less than others. I almost always travel for leisure, in fact I think that I have only ever been on one business trip ever! Anyway, I’ve decided to compile this list of tips and tricks that I have learned so that you don’t have to! If …
I realize that I haven’t shown you any pictures of the sock yarn blanket in a while. It continues to grow under my nurturing care, just the camera wasn’t behaving all that well. (It’s amazing how many more pictures one takes when one has a camera that is working properly!) The last …
So I figured that I’d share with y’all the totally rocking day that is this Thursday for me. What I’m up to: +Packing travel knitting for The Netherlands. (Spending a week+ with the designer seems like a good time to knit one of her patterns if-you-know-what-I-mean.) +Filling-out a scholarship application. (I probably shouldn’t try to …
These are some links about the disaster in Japan. I know as knitters and crocheters, our first inclination is to pick-up the needles or hook and send some woolly love. Here’s why you shouldn’t and what you would be better off doing. Why you shouldn’t be knitting and crocheting things to be sent to Japan. …
Last week I was in Finland. This was a slightly postponed birthday trip (it seems that my birthday trips keep getting later in the year, if I keep it up at this rate, I’ll be taking my birthday trip in June when I’m 80!) as my birthday is at the end of January. However, I …
I have several thank you’s that I need to make for people who have donated sock yarn leftovers to the massive undertaking that is my sock yarn blanket. First off there is Tini, who sent me a great package with some sock yarn, beads and some candy. Always a good combo! Then I also got …
Since I am pretty sure that she doesn’t read this (at least not in anything close to real-time) due to having an extremely active toddler in the house, I feel that I can post pictures of these without any major repercussions. It might even be a good thing given how the UK and US postal …
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 …
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 …
