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 …
So, since it seems that my proper Shetland posts are going to take a dogs-life to be written (we crammed a lot into a week!) I figure that I can give you some swag shots to keep y’all happy:-) Now, as you all know, the whole trip was arranged by Jamieson and Smith, the Shetland …
One of the managers where I am currently working will quite often greet us worker bees with this odd-for-an-Englishman greeting. Every time he says it it makes me laugh as it sounds so….. odd, coming from his mouth. Just think about it for a little bit…. Not a lot has been going on in my …
So, the UK has gone from having zero (or seriously close to zero) major knitting get-aways to having two in one year. Not even in a year, in a summer! First up is Knit Nation which is being held the 29th, 30th and 31st of July this year in London. It’s three days of shopping …
So, to elaborate on the last post a bit… I got a job. It doesn’t pay well and the 3 days a week that I work take a day (at least) to recover from. I’m on my feet all day in (cue evil music here) dress shoes. I don’t mind being on my feet a …
A couple of nights ago the hubby and I were setting up for an invigorating game of scrabble (I know, we are the most boring couple on the planet!!) and we had lit a few candles on the dinning room table. Now, I’m not sure what Jiji thought that I was doing up there, but …
I’m sure that some of you have noticed that I haven’t been on here in a while. That is because, my dear readers, I have been asleep or catching up on things that needed catching up on here in The Old Chapel. Mostly sleeping though to tell you the truth. I turned into sleeping beauty …
Tonight, after watching Micheal the monster mutt wrangle the goats into their pen for the night (that never ceases to amuse me) I came back to my brothers and taking advantage of the seemingly stable internet for once, decided to watch Brenda Dayne of the podcast Cast-On taking her turn on the 4th Plinth. It …
As I was driving back from the “20/30 Something Knit Night” tonight at Crazy Girl Yarn Shop (more on that later) I was listening to a Des Moines “Lite” Music station. Now, this would not be my normal choice for music stations but it seemed that everything else that I could get on the radio …
