I’ve finally wound off the singles from my spindle and begun spinning the other half of the bfl/silk. Aeolian is done. Ends still need to to be woven in and then blocking. It’s a pretty good size the way it is now. And I can tell it’ll be very warm (doing it in fingering weight [...]
Lookie what I finished yesterday! That’s about 50 g of the BFL/Silk blend that I’ve spun up this last week. Now I need to wind it off, pre-draft the other half of March’s shipment and spin that up. This stuff is amazing. Like seriously soft and so easy to spin. And this is Aeolian! It’s [...]
Well Pioneer is done. I’ve worn it twice already. It grew a bit more than I expected during the blocking, but that’s okay. Next time I’ll just throw it in the dryer so it won’t do that. I’ve started another large project: Aeolian. I’m using the green 100% wool I bought while in Montana two [...]
I’ve got a brother! Born today, about six hours ago. Weighs 4.3 kg and 56cm tall.
I bought these really cute stitch markers today. Cheese and strawberries! There was a reason for wanting them too (besides the cuteness). I’m working on this sweater and my current stitch markers (cheap, plastic Lion Brand ones I got while back in Montana) just aren’t working. They’re too big and causing oddness in the raglan [...]
Not much to say. Usual stuff going on: 1. Knitting Lots of stuff. Mainly socks right now. Still need to knit up a bookmark as a birthday present. Then I’ll be starting Pioneer from the newest Knitty. OMG this issue is made of win. I want to knit most of the patterns in there. I’ve [...]
I got this from Leanne. What’s your bookstore? Waterstone’s or Amazon.co.uk Hardback or paperback? Paperback. Easier to hold and cheaper. Bookmark or dogear? Bookmarks all the way. Keep, throw away or sell? Keep. I love my books. But if I really dislike something, I’ll donate it. Read with dust jacket or remove it? With Short [...]
That’s what I’ve been doing today. Now all I need to do is vacuum and move the final things off the floor. The exterminator’s coming over tomorrow. Yep, the carpet beetles are back. Augh. I found one in the bedroom on the wall and the other in the living room on the phone. I wonder [...]
I seem to post only when I’m sick. Huh… But yeah, I’ve got an ear infection. Just been to the doctor’s and now I’ve got antibiotics. I hope they kick in soon. I’m still going to knit night tonight. I don’t feel that bad right now. And I’ve still got all day to see if [...]
