Spurred by the fun I had last Friday at the booklaunch and knitters pubnight, I decided I’d break out of my solitary knitter’s shell once again and go out to Lettuce Knit’s knitnight.
Of course, this meant I spent the better part of yesterday fretting: Should I bake something for the knitters? What should [...]
Everyone, meet Eshme. She’s a light grey Shetland sheep, raised in Ontario at the hobby farm of a lady I know through the SCA, and now her year’s fleece-growth is mine!
I’ve been keeping this a secret for a few weeks now, and I just picked her up on Saturday*. I’m incredibly excited to [...]
Warning: long, rambling, and very picture-heavy post follows!
Friday night was a blast! It was truly amazing to see just how many knitters could congregate in a single space (in this case, an Indigo bookstore!).
Krista and I met up at my workplace, and wended our way up Younge Street with a brief pause for [...]
Tee hee hee! I just had to share that Kate Bosworth’s celebrity-blog (”celeblog”?) picked up my spinning meme post as a “mention” of her, all on account of the words “Bosworth” (as in the makers of Charka wheels) and “Kate” (as in “lazy kate”). This is too funny! Although as I type [...]
Another Grand Catalogue, first found at Amelia’s blog, to tide you over until I can come up with some real content.
If you’d just like to chalk the below meme up to “has barely begun, but wants to try everything“, then look: here’s a cat!
Maximus is very photogenic.
Bold those things you have done, italicize those you [...]
…Call in three months time and I’ll be fine, I know
Well, maybe not that fine, but I’ll survive, anyhow…

I’d like to be writing about the knitting I’ve been doing: progress on socks, beginnings of a wedding shawl for a friend, plans for my homespun yarn.
I’d like to show you pictures of my spinning [...]
Look what came in the mail for me yesterday… a new package from my Secret Pal!
Once again, my SP has fooled me, this time with a clever ruse. I was sent an email with a photo of yarn on it, so (of course) I start thinking I’ll be getting some sort of indie-died sock [...]
This past week I learned a very important lesson about spinning. Poetically speaking, you could say “from humble beginnings comes greatness”.
More honestly, let’s say “from crappy roving comes yarn that does not suck”.
Witness: Crappy Roving
I played with the “notes” feature on Flickr, highlighting some of the noils and VM!
Witness: Yarn that Does [...]
I lieu of any real knitting or spinning content, I present to you the (in)famous Knitting Experience Quiz below. I promise you I have in fact been knitting and spinning, and I’ll post something that you won’t just want to skim over as soon as I take pictures…
How it works: Mark with bold [...]
Tagged by Sharon, I get this:
Here is how it works (AGAIN): Each player starts with seven random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog with their seven things as well as these rules. You need to tag seven others (which I ain’t doing) and list their names on your [...]
