Why, this pun-filled yarn from Crystal Palace!
You can see why I’m drawn to it, but Little Knits has a minimum of $25 per order and I just couldn’t justify buying more yarn to myself. I’ve been doing the online yarn store cart thing again, but been very, very good and haven’t bought more yarn. (Now […]

Recently I’ve been on a movie watching kick. I am one of the few people who does not (plan to) have a Netflix subscription, but I have DirecTV, TiVo and HBO, so I get tons of movies, and watch what they give me. Besides the many Lifetime/WE movies I’ve been watching (I swear I only […]

I’m just about done with my stash reorganization project, and it turns out I have *over* 586 skeins of yarn! (Plus 2 cones.) But doesn’t my stash look great?
(BTW, the top box is open above because those are the skeins I’m destashing, and the ones on the bottom box need to be put in […]

You are not going to believe this, but we used to have 4 remotes that worked, and now we are down to *zero*! Two remotes got smashed today (don’t ask), and now how are we going to watch TV? How am I going to get any knitting or any other household chores done without […]

After having crocheted in public for about 2 weeks (off and on, in between dyeing and drying yarn) I finished my first Red Scarf 2008! It’s made of 3 skeins of Knit Picks Andean Silk handdyed by me (in a very, very volatile colorway), and the outer edging in Pingouin Pingofrance that I got […]

Well, I may be moving over (slightly) to the dark side. I am enjoying my two crochet projects, and am looking forward to doing a few more with my ever more organized stash. (Thanks, Ravelry.)
I went a bit stash crazy yesterday (and allowed the kids to go nuts too, boy did I spend […]

What a week. Somewhat eventful, but no, not really. Last Saturday my eyebrow hurt a bit, but I didn’t think much of it. Then my eye got more and more swollen. On Monday I decided to go to the doctor, but by that point I had decided that it was a […]

Like Amanda, all I want to do these days is watch TV and crochet! Speaking of Amanda, I won her blog contest, and she sent me some gorgeous Knit Picks yarn! I have no idea why my camera is taking horrible pictures, but the colorway is “Sunset” and it is a brownish color, not obvious […]

I still haven’t seen The Chroni(what?)cles of Narnia, but I love that reference anyway.
After an incredibly stressful week (I didn’t say much, but our only bathroom sink broke so I had to get a contractor in quickly, plus shuttle two kids from one camp to another, plus D.L. had to have an MRI which was […]
