Yesterday was fairly pleasant. I finished the last jane and the blah book. I quite liked it even though I was sad that well lord harold was missing. I heard from the husband which always makes a day better. I also cooked a decent meal. Lately all I’ve felt like making was grilled chicken for [...]

The great jaywalker experiment came to a close. I realized I had made one too many mistakes for my perfectionist self and well better to frog then continue to put work into something I would be unhappy with. So I spent a few hours looking for inspiration on lj and the web. Nada. I also [...]

Well much as I love jaywalkers I frogged them for the third time. I made one too many mistakes and in that pattern it will show so I decide much like murtha that I should “redeploy”. So now I officially have NOTHING on the needles. Only knitting I have is weaving in the ends on [...]

Pattern: Sophie
Yarn: Cascade 220 (exact shade unknown since the ball band was lost)
Needle: 10.5 Denise
Pattern Notes: Quick and easy pattern. A bit small perhaps but it has nice shaping and the twisted straps are a nice detail. Felted bags really are the best first project.

I kind of like one day projects. I finished the sophie bag tonight. Ok technically it wasn’t one day but I felt too awful with the girl plague last night to do anything with it so I’m saying it was about a day and a half tops. Even so I am convinced it was indeed [...]

Today was just a disaster. I’m not going into details but it was just one of those days. Went to run an errand and utter craptastic adventures ensued. Then I came home to more fun. And bleh. A high note was finishing my grandmothers birthday gift, now I just need to felt it. I did [...]

So I actually started the socks a while ago kind of. I mean I did the ribbing and ripped it out err twice I think. Plus I was sort of all consumed with the sweater. As previously stated I also do other things when I could be knitting..I know I’m a heretic. Anyway I love [...]

So our bedroom is done. Well ok it needs some art but all the furniture is put together. It looks as good as I knew it would however, I don’t think I’ve had a bedroom with matching furniture since I was in the 7th grade. It also doesn’t really feel like *my* bedroom yet. I [...]

…CHECK.
Ok Technically I have not actually woven in all the ends yet but it is done and I could wear it as is. I actually finished on sunday so…I am going to do it in a zen like state when I get caught up on my tivo this weekend. It actually fits fairly nicely and [...]

The past week was pretty awful. Sunday I woke up to find out that my Aunt was in the hospital and it was a question of when not if. So I knew I’d be traveling to STL this week. I wasn’t very close to her and she pretty much disappeared from my life after her [...]
