Tha' Shiz-Knit

I'm infatuated with the Philosopher's Wool method of woven colorwork.  Infatuated doesn't even begin to cover my exact feelings for it.  So here I am, after mastering the effortless memorizat...

That's how much I've knit this year!  Approximately, anyway.  I have yet to weigh my yarn balls prior to & subsequently after making my projects, so I just averaged what I thought I used.  Sti...

Sarah pierced Keegan's ear last night.  At his request, of course.  Also, after many jokes about accidentally piercing his neck or face or hand.  They used tons of alcohol - the rubbing kind...

Two handed fair aisle knitting, that creates a woven background instead of floats that catch on hands/rings/fingers! Crazy how stuff happens.  I found this link: http://www.philosophers...

I taught Sweet Sarah how to knit.  That dark picture at the top of the page is her & Keegan snuggled on the couch with a warm dog.  She is knitting a complicated cabled headband for her f...

 I bought a big bag of raw alpaca fleece from the Spinner's Flock Fiber Festival on Sunday.  It's a lovely pinkey-beige color.  Unfortunately, the farmer didn't include the name of the beast...

She's even more wonderful in person.  She's got a great sense of humor.  She's very driven, loves a challenge, and is smarter than everyone on our whole street... combined.  :)  She's flu...

I'm not really set-up here yet with my comfort music. I'm in my hubby's car with no radio, all my music is on the home computer (in TN still), so what I wind-up listening to is the second han...

I wish I could make money being creative. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the motivation to be self-sustaining in a creative endeavor. Maybe one day I'll be able to do Craftsy classes or ...

Dinner was tuna melt sandwiches & tater tots, because I've been sick & that was all I could muster. He liked it though! So did I. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4

What it looks like inside & outside my house @ night. That lamp was my gramma's. I've held onto the shade forever now because it reminds me of her. It's crumbling. One day I'll have to fi...

I'm not the only one wishing for some today. This is Keegan, getting rid of our sidewalk snow this morning. I'm glad he's here to do it, I don't hink my hands could handle it in the condition...

Sorry, it's full of boring. I haven't lived here long enough to have strata from the dark ages of medicine layered in here. (Yes, Mom, I am talking about your tin of leeches...) Published w...

These are my normal "work" shoes, though this is the 1st time they've been up on the table... and if you'll excuse me, now I need to go get the cleaner. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4

Since I'm not currently employed outside the home, this is my dining room table AND the place where I compose sporadic letters to friends & do some accounting paperwork for Blue Chip. Publi...

I have a (usually) very amazing, talented, and wonderful husband - who over the years has taken many spectacular and artistic photographs of me. I was at a loss to pick just one that was my v...

Mine. Big & messy & loopy & scrawling across the whole page. Barely respecting the restraints of lines when they're there & never even trying when they're not. And of course I always use a ...

I'm sorry, I can't think of anything I hate to do. I dislike putting down the things I love to do for things I am not as fond of. Hate never enters into it though. Instead, how about this: ...

Today, I really wish I had something a little stronger than kool-ade. This morning, around 4am, my neighbor's dogs were going nuts. I'm a pretty light sleeper under the best of circumstance...

There is never enough of it for everything I want to do. This is a beautiful bundle of roving 60/40 Wensleydale & Mohair. It's a gorgeous brownish natural color. My lovely darling husband bro...

This will be my new closet when we get it assembled! Then I can share before-and-after pics of my real closet! Wahoo! I can't wait to have a closet again, where clothes get neatly hung up ins...

This is Keegan's new one that his Dad upgraded for his Valentine's Day present. Since then, we've seen nothing but the top of Keegan's head. *sigh* At least he likes his new phone, and no...

I got a very special delivery for Valentines Day. Around 2:30 I received a bouquet of flowers & a box of chocolates. Card said "even though we are far apart, you are always in my heart." Ab...

First, of course: my rockin' blue cardigan, whose sleeves are actually starting to resemble what they should hopefully one day be... done! Second: The Valentines present I sent to Baby ...

I am showing my favorite closet in the house: our coat closet. None of the others are nearly this interesting. Our coat closet, however, has a massive built-in drawer where I keep all my ...
