Autumn is my favorite season of the year
I’ve been adrift the past couple of months. It almost looks like I blogged myself out at the blogathon, and barely made a post in August, but that is not the case. Things have just been topsy turvy with plenty of turmoil. My hope is that now that my favorite season is here, things will…
My version of NaKniSweMo 2008
National Sweater Knitting Month (NaKniSweMo) is upon us again, coinciding with “NaNoWriMo”:http://www.nanowrimo.org/ as usual. I am contemplating a new take on it – new to me anyway. Instead of casting on yet ANOTHER sweater, I’m going to estimate the number of stitches left to knit on the three main sweaters that I currently have on…
Bro flies out and I spin around

Yeah, that is me – geekess (it was either that or geekette). I have been spinning more lately, especially on drop spindles. p{float:left}. !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3161/2557383197_488ee45ca3_m.jpg!:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/2557383197/ p{clear:both;text-align:center}.

Not casting on, really, well, sort of
I didn’t cast-on for this: p=. I did finish it in one evening though. I’ve wanted to try filet crochet for awhile. I didn’t have any crochet thread (not sure I’d like it if I had it) so I just used some sock yarn and a size E hook. It was quick and fun. “This…

I announced that I was finally going…
