Plurk is addictive.  It’s like a chat room, but threaded and with timelines.  Now, normally I’m more of an “I’ll be over here, lurking away and not commenting,” but I’ve actually been plurking.  Lots.  So you should check it out.  And friend me, too!  (Gotta get that Karma up for the new emoticons!)
I’ve also been […]

The evil-giant-grandpa-socks-of-doomy-doom-doom are DONE!!!  YAY!  Never again with fingering for a huge man’s sock!!!

Yes I joined.  And, yes, I *was up past midnight last night.  But not for socks.  I had a friend over.  She lives in Seattle now, and comes back to visit every few months, so last night we fed her and her husband, then sat up playing card games and reminiscing and laughing and generally […]

I’ve just been blogged by CraftZine!!!  I am jumping around like MissV right now!

So, I’m chatty today.  I wanted to share a piccie of my newest handspun - the one I tried to spin up a la Malabrigo?  Yeah, the soft factor is Malabrigo, but the spin is more like Manos.  I set the twist today, what with it being a single and all, took all of […]

Great, now I’m going to have *that* song stuck in my head.  Oh, well, at least you’ll suffer, too!  ::insert evil laugh::
So, I saw another bandwagon I could join:  Plurk.  Why not, right?  I already spend all my knitting time futzing around Ravelry, and bloglines, and email.  Why not add another to the list.  And […]

So, I went to WWKIP at the BioPark here in town.  It was fun - met loads of local knitters, took my wheel and spun some merino/tencel that I had dyed.  Oh, yeah, also?  I got interviewed by a local knitting TV show.  Kinda nerve-wracking, what with the camera and GIANT microphone in my face, […]

So, this little guy is getting sent off to a new home soon, but I just *had* to share!

He’s a modified version of Snuffykin’s patterns, I think I used Simm!Master as a base, and the Ten overcoat as a starting point for this overcoat. The hat? Original! Yay me!
Ok, […]

Ok, so no pictures cause everything is a MESS and I don’t have the time to set up for them, but O. M. G. I AM MAKING YARN!  I rented a wheel (Louet S10) yesterday from the LYS, sat down last night and spun!  And it’s not that lumpy, either!  Yay me!  It took me […]

Last night, all I took to bed to knit on were the (never-ending) socks for my grandfather.  But I found my stash of feltable wool under my corner of the bed.  So what did I knit?  A KittyPi.  I am nothing if not fickle.
