So how was your Halloween? I usually hate this holiday (I know, I’m not American. I’ve been accused of that before.) but today was pretty fun. We ended up trick or treating at the local mall and it worked out great.
I thought DL would be much more shy and reserved but he ended up […]
I’m so happy! You’d think I wouldn’t be when the time change screwed every kid’s schedule up so they were all up at 4:30 (what real time was that?) a.m. this morning and we have to be out of our house tonight because the genius down the block decided to block off our street *again* […]
Boy am I a procrastinator! I have to finish (and, yes, start) my paper on media regulation that’s due Tuesday and all I can do is read websites and blogs! And not even knitting!
So since I figured out this morning that I can’t find my Blackberry sleeve I was working on, I’ve brought out […]
BR has graciously allowed me a few minutes of his Civ IV time to post a couple of photos of my finished Twist Barbie socks. I love these!!! The right sock is the finished pattern, and I especially love the back because it matches my first tattoo which you can see a bit of […]
“Sock #2 is not a f*** you sock …” For some reason whenever I think about my second sock I think about that Fugazi song. Anyway, I’m done!!! I finished my second Twist Barbie sock today! I can’t give you any pictures yet, since Civ IV came out this week so of course […]
Not much to report today. I did do as much sock knitting as I could, but I’m still not done with sock #2. In my defense, I was driving quite a bit today for some reason.
Mostly all I did today was eat unnecessary and uninteresting food and feel guilty about it. […]
Finally a finished object!!! I just did the garter edging and bound off for the blanket formerly known as “IM’s Blanket” which will now be known as “Baby Chen’s Blanket”. Surprisingly it bound off really nicely and I think the size is perfect. Just rectangular enough.
I’m also almost done (okay, I still have […]
Okay, I’m at a crossroads. I was just about to pick up IM’s blanket (believe it or not) but I’m not sure if it’s worth finishing. I pretty much hate the pattern. Here is the most recent progress photo:
So what do you think? Finish? I have about 1 skein of Micro Spun to […]
I had heard that the new Vogue Knitting wasn’t that great, but I love it! I can’t wait to make all the nouveau-goth stuff (you know, the new Victorian “Goth” movement) like these:
I’m not so sure about all the intarsia, but some of those things I could make in one color or two …
Sorry, still no pictures. I was late at knitting and now I’ve got to get IM to bed so I can potentially get some sleep tonight. I did get the heel done on my second sock. I had the pattern all written up, but tonight I was tweaking the heel and now […]
