Yes, I finished blocking the latest pair of monkeys! I hung the blocked socks outside to dry in the sunshine today. And then I started another pair… I promise, sooner or later I will in fact blog about something other than monkey socks!

I don’t talk on here a lot about beauty products and regimes mostly because I typically don’t have any. That is until lately that is. You see, I’ve decided it’s time to start getting serious about my skin. Over this past winter, I started using a moisturizer on my face consistently every night after my …
I adore getting mail. Not flyers or bills or anything like that. Real mail. Letters, packages, postcards really anything that comes from a real person. So, today was lovely going to the mailbox to find this. A package from my friend Tini in Germany with provisions for my sock yarn blanket! Yay for mail!!!!
I just got an email this morning saying that they are doing the Socks that Rock Mill End mystery bags this weekend. This, much like the Wollmeise “We’re different” yarns, is a really great way to get some Socks that Rock to play with for a more affordable price. You don’t get to choose the …
So, yeah… I get the addictive nature of the Monkey socks now. I already want to cast-on the next pair and I’m not done with this pair yet! It’s sort of like when I was still smoking (yes, I used to smoke. I quit. It’s bad for you, don’t start it!) when I would want …
I finished the pink and grey monkeys shortly after I finished the last post. My sock blockers have been getting a lot of work lately, a lot more than they are used to at least! There wasn’t a huge amount of yarn left over, but it only take about 5 or 6 grams to make …
Random has been sort of my catchword of late. It feels as though my life has become a host of things unrelated to one another except through me. I could make a concept map to explain this, but I’ll save y’all the horror:-) I’ve not posted here in a while. Partially this is because, quite …
You know you had a good time on your birthday when you don’t get to blog about it until a week later! My day started normally enough until I got to the office where a very interesting box awaited me on my desk. Given it’s dimensions, I was a tad apprehensive that my day was …
So, I was asked to share what I got at Sticks and Sting this year. I assure you it is modest in the most! The yellow yarn on the left is a custom dyed skein of Superwash Merino 3 ply yarn that came with my goodie bag (but that I forgot to photograph!) by Dreams …
This summer I have gotten the chance to attend two fiber festivals near where I live. The first was Shepherd’s Harvest which is held in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. This was the 15th year that Shepherd’s Harvest had been held and it shows. There were 3 buildings of vendors… a building of sheep and goats… and …
