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 …
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 …
Today was another very good mail day. Whenever there is a package too big to fit into the mailbox or one needing a signature, the mailman backs his truck into the drive and honks. Usually twice. In a house with 4 dogs in it, this is tantamount to declaring war. You do not truly understand …
So, Christmas time is here again and if you’re struggling to find presents for some of the people in your life, let me make a few suggestions of things that I have found to be wonderful. These are all things that I have either used myself or friends of mine have used and really liked. …
Last week I did something insane. I mean, really, really nuts. I woke-up at 1am to fly to Germany to visit the Wollmeise store while they were having their annual summer sale. Yeah, I really did. Honestly. I even have pictures! I took the 6am flight from Gatwick to Munich on Easyjet. I didn’t want …
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’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, I know it is WAYYYYYYY past my birthday at this point, but I realized the other day that I had not shown y’all the great birthday package that I got from my friend Tini. First off there was this great mug with sheep all over with a skein of handspun yarn in it. That …
