Sweater from hell up in flames

You know that sweater that my son asked for, the one that was supposed to have flames on it? The sweater from hell? (Well, he wanted Hot Wheels flames, he knows nothing of hell.) Or at least hell to me? I finally broke down and frogged it, and I’m making a plain red sweater for […]

French knits…as in Dawn French.

I don’t know about Xiane or Pickleboot, but one thing I know that Helen and I have in our many commonalities is a love for British comediennes, French and Saunders.  Heaven knows Helen and I both love Ab Fab, and I know that Helen is big for the Vicar of Dibley. The last thing I […]

When your knitted giftie is loved, it makes you happy.

Project Runway addict has interesting thought…

I was reading one of my most favorite websites/blogs,Project RunGay with those lovely boys, Tom and Lorenzo, and after writing them an email note about getting their view on why Christian has been the bridesmaid but not the bride on the last two challenges, when I started thinking about one of their new neighbors and […]

WHOOSH! (Who was that masked knitter?)

Okay, so maybe I’m not masked, but I’m been blazing through a lot of projects lately. I think it’s mostly because of my new job. It’s incredibly boring, non-stimulating in any way. I have almost no interaction with people, and all I do is open mail and pull and file check stubs. YAWN. Like I […]
