My plan was a simple one. Buy some music then come back home. But this turned out to be the day where nothing happened as expected. See, I recently joined a community choir and was in need of some readable, non-photocopied versions of music. It took some doing but I found one of the last […] I’ve been a busy woman lately! Between starting occupational therapy and hobnobbing with the knitterati, I haven’t had a moment to myself. Ha. Who am I kidding? The truth is that I’m slowly trying to get back in the game, reconnecting with friends of the yarnish persuasion and making a few small things, like a […] No, your feed reader isn’t on the blink. I haven’t posted since late June. If it seems I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth, perhaps it is because I have. I’m back in the shop for repairs (or something like it). I’ve scarcely purchased any yarn. The books and magazines that cross my threshold […] Pattern: Boteh Scarf by Kathy Merrick from Interweave Crochet, Spring 2007Yarn: 2+ skeins of allhemp6LUX, color: alioliHook: 4.5mm (G)Modifications: 11 triangles instead of 16 called for in pattern yielded a 68″ scarf, unblocked.

Instead, I suspect I aggravated the already torn ligament that keeps the ball joint in the socket. I thought I was doing myself a favor by sticking to small projects, however the intensity applied to completing them proved […] “It’s been too long since we took the time No-one’s to blame, I know time flies so quickly But when I see you darling It’s like we both are falling in love again It’ll be just like starting over, starting over” – John Lennon I’m working on rediscovering my love of crafting and the […] *Picture heavy post* I never really thought about the whole colorful, messy business of dyeing and distributing yarn. I learned a thing or two during the Hyde Park Knitting Guild’s behind the scenes glimpse into life at Lorna’s Laces. It was exciting for me to see how yarn moves from color concept to realization to […] Can’t you just hear the birds sweet songs and feel the warming sunshine upon your face as it beams through crystal blue skies? Welcome to the first storm of Spring ’08, where some areas to the north of here expect upwards of 8 inches of snow. While I wait for things to clear up, […] For those of you who don’t get the post title reference, it is part of actress Sally Field’s 1985 Best Actress Oscar acceptance speech.
