Mama’s Got a Brand New Bag!

Ok, so I obviously didn’t come through on my promise to write a good post on Monday but this horrible thing they call work has prevented me from devoting my attention to the blog and, more importantly, to you my darling love bunny readers.  There are more of you these days which is really lovely [...]

The Sad Tale of the Fugly Poncho

Note: This was written on Friday but somehow ended up in drafts instead of being published. 
This time last year Joe and I were not speaking.  It was a very sad time and I was trying to make myself scarce but I was sick of sitting home alone all the time.  One day I was sitting [...]

SQUEEEEEEE!!!

The day has finally arrived: I’m in Ravelry!! The best part is it’s not like when you finally get in the kilt of the guy you’ve been fantasizing about for eons and it turns out that counting ceiling tiles is a great deal more exciting….noooooo, it’s like yarn sex on your PC. I’m so ridiculously [...]

…And The Heat Goes On…

Day 10 – The heat is still on. I’m beginning to wonder whether this will ever end.  I’ve called the plumber more times than I care to mention, ditto on the condo association. I made dinner for my beloved boyfriend last night and almost got heat stroke.  My patience is being severely tested. I have tried to [...]

Houston, We Have a Problem

A problem – ha! We have a few problems… last week, affectionately named “Cluster Fuck Week” boasted a cracked windshield, a malfunctioning zone valve (a.k.a. heat blasting in my apartment) and a broken cell phone.  The windshield was fixed, the phone replaced and I’m still waiting to cease living in Dante’s Inferno (can you hear the [...]

Hadley Says it Best

How I feel today:

I think that about sums it up.
I wish I had great UFO pictures for you but nothing has been moving particularly quickly.  I had to frog part of the Baby Surprise Jacket because I f’ed it up which is pretty hard to do.  That will teach me to knit while fighting with [...]

Pounding Potassium

Ok, so I’ve obviously been a terrible correspondant.  Initially I just took a break during my Labor Day weekend vacay but then became ill immediately thereafter which required me to run around to doctors and, unfortunately, not share my “What I Knitted on My Vacation” photos.  Her Royal Physician claims we are lacking in potassium [...]

Sock it to Me One More Time

I don’t believe I’ve mentioned it before, but Joe and I are big readers.  While I’m knitting my little brains out, Joe is tearing through magazines, books, cereal boxes, etc. He is a devoted and determined reader, impossible to distract for more than 2.12 seconds.  On Saturday night I finished my book and started finishing [...]

The Eagle Has Landed

The Alan Parsons Project is complete! I cannot wait to get it where it’s going… you guys are gonna dig it!
Still a toe and change short of a Love Sock but I’m making progress…actually, I’m not.  I’m knitting into the black hole again. I’d rather not ignore the sock for a couple days but a [...]
