You know you are a knitter when….

…your husband is installing a light fixture, and just needs a few washers for some screws that aren’t fitting in right, but nothing too big, and you are willing to sacrifice your extra small stitch markers to do the job so that you can get that new light fixture in!
Turns out in the end that […]

I like to make things, I do.

Check it out, I’m actually going to show proof of my WIPs.
*shock*
First, let me show you what else I’m doing with fiber - needle felting!

This is my very first bit of needle felting, made from hand-dyed wool roving from The Flying Ewe. If you want to see the rest of what I’ve been making, I […]

Mmmm. Yarn.

So I spent >$50 in yarn for the second time in two weeks. I’m so into browns, tans and greens right now that I’m trying to shift my stash that way. But what’s funny about this is that I realized I have become a much more discerning consumer when it comes to knitting. We were […]

That’s what friends are for…

Teh haha!

It occurs to me, now that I’ve taken up crochet, that I can make the observation that WIPs and chains excite me.

Many WIPs, and new projects, too.

Look! After too long of a silence, I return with the news that - well, I’m still knitting and I’ve actually finished something. *shock*
I’ve had a difficult time carving out space to knit that doesn’t involve my beloved pain in the butt delightful feline, Squeegee, being all up in my yarn. I have a […]

Site pingery

I’m doing a lot of site work today. I’m going to consolidate our bios into one page and restructure the links, and (hopefully) add a lot of resources. I’ve loaded a new template and I’m working on customizing it. Vroom vroom.

I should’ve taken a photo, but…

Just a little blurb about something I saw today that I found amusing.
I went to the IKEA in Elizabeth/Newark today, and in walking around, they always have displays to encourage small business users to use their furniture for, well, their businesses as a cost effective way to furnish your business in a stylish way. Well, […]

revising the template…

So much work that needs to be done with the site. Working on it now, inspired by the Superbowl Sunday Knit-In.
Update: Upgrade in process, please stand by!
