Fiber Friday,
Knitting
Sorry this Fiber Friday freak show is so late in the day. I was up making cupcakes at seven this morning (real ones, not knitted), then I had to drive all over the damn place getting everyone where they needed to be and running to the store because we forgot something and running back home [...]

Fiber Friday,
Knitting
Growing up, when I heard the word “knitting” I thought of those haloed, plastic-feeling acrylic baby blankets, old ladies in rocking chairs, and the world’s most unflattering sweaters. If you know enough to have found this blog, chances are you know the needle arts have come a long way.
Not only do we now have thousands [...]

Since there is no day of the week that starts with an ‘a’ so I can have an antidepressant day, I will call today “Therapy Thursday.”
It’s a lazy post, because I am trying to figure out what to talk about for tomorrow’s Fiber Friday. But it’s chock full of nuts. Er, I mean laughter.
And also, [...]

Number 22! That would be Liz who knits in her research lab. I just love down time at work, don’t you?
I’m impressed with the yarn prowess out there. Knitting while walking a dog? In the bathtub? Kudos to you all!
Nicole L. and Marlene – than you for sharing. Ahem.
And in church? I confess, I have [...]

***Update***
I had no idea I was so good at marketing myself! I expected a much smaller response, so I have decided to close this contest earlier than expected. This way, the odds won’t be so paltry for everyone. The contest now officially closes at noon EST February 1st. Please remember that I cannot ship internationally, [...]

cloth diapering
It’s Fiber Friday again, and as I promised, I am about to send you down rabbit holes aplenty and I guarantee you will never change a cloth diaper again because you will be too busy clicking around the fabulous sites for eco-minded moms.
If you are new to cloth diapering in general Green Mountain Diapers is [...]

Fiber Friday,

This is supposed to be fiber Friday, though I’ve been a total slacker on that front for a while. It’s not that I haven’t been busy with sewing and knitting and such – I just haven’t written about it.
So in the grand spirit of discipline that I am *so* good at – I am forcing [...]

This is a rerun of a blog I wrote somewhere else in April of this year:
You know, I really hate shopping. And crowds. And actually, people. I kind of hate people, too. So you might wonder – what in the world do I find appealing about NYC? I wonder that myself.

I think I might need some serious help. I have decided to knit my first pair of socks, learn how to knit continental style, and do all of this on two circular needles. At the same time. Any of these things would be a great challenge in and of itself, but me? I choose to [...]

My first blog entry, and I’m too stinkin’ tired to write anything useful. I’ve wasted the last hour trying to find just the right song for my blog, you know, the annoying things that play when you happen to land on someone’s site who chose that song-widget-thing.
Oh well – this is pretty much the story [...]
