(This post comes from last monday's events)At the stitch&bitch on Monday, I learned a couple of neat ideas. One was to use older t-shirts - cut the sleeves off and use them to line the inside of a knit hat. What a great idea! I think that I would tend to try and avoid the… Continue reading Monday & Things you learn at Stitch-n-Bitch

Monday Fun
Happy Left Hander's Day! A bit from mental flossHighlighting cool facts:4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed 1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed - 250% more than the normal level. Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right. There is a high tendency in twins for one to be… Continue reading Monday Fun
Week in review
The nutshell version is that I continue to be somewhat distracted. Startitis of projects. Trying to clean up one room so that we can make a different room into the baby's room. Makes the week go by quite quickly that's for sure. Monday I went to a SnB which was very cool. It was nice… Continue reading Week in review
Knitting Celebrity – Yarn Harlot
On Friday, I went to RJ Julia's to hear The Yarn Harlot speak - I almost can't begin to describe how excited I was to get out and go to this event! I get a little giddy when it comes to celebrity. Plus this was a knitting event, so even that much better! I arrived… Continue reading Knitting Celebrity – Yarn Harlot
Yadda Yadda Yadda

The Coreys - it's a reunion of sorts between Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. I had the biggest crush on Corey Haim… Continue reading Yadda Yadda Yadda
Don’t Ask a Dachshund
I've been working on my Roza's Socks - making good progress, thanks to time spent in waiting rooms yesterday - I've cast on 66 stitches thinking that I would need it for my big feet, but these seem like they will be very stretchy! Alcariel asked, and yes it is the yarn she spun for… Continue reading Don’t Ask a Dachshund
Shrug.
What a blah day. I got a bit of knitting done - and caught up on netflix movies - ones that have been sitting here and Dan didn't want to watch them. I watched Babel first. Wow. Visually impressive and overall heart-wrenching complex story. I really liked it. I had started "Shrug This" from the… Continue reading Shrug.
Socks! (it’s still summer right?)
Yay! I finished the "Go with the flow" socks 🙂 I used Reynolds Sea Wool yarn, 2 skeins, and really enjoyed this pattern. It was pretty easy to memorize / see as it happened (although if I knit it at night I tended to get sleepy while working on it), and overall fairly quick. They… Continue reading Socks! (it’s still summer right?)
Not on queue
I did finish one of my "Go with the Flow" socks, but haven't taken a photo yet - lately my feet have been too hot!! And I didn't immediately cast on for the second sock, so my summer of socks is starting to lag a bit. But it is for a good cause. My mom's… Continue reading Not on queue
