Last week at our knit night, Abby and I cast on for the Whisper Cardi (Rav link) together.

I’m using Knitpicks Shadow in Snorkel, and I really like the way the yarn is knitting up. It’s a heathered blue with green undertones so the color has a lot of dimension. It’s also insanely soft. Unfortunately, the [...]


Mail Call

17Jan09

This has been an exceptionally fun mail week for me. Usually, all I get in the mail is a bunch of junk and forty billion bank statements (even though all of my accounts are supposed to be paperless).

For the past two weeks, I’ve been meaning to get pictures of the various things that I’ve been working on up here. However, it seems that everyday I’ve had time to stop and take pictures of my knitting, the weather has been shitty. Today is no exception. I have three projects to take pictures of [...]

I’ve got about half an hour before we leave for the airport. Because I am an exceedingly intelligent person, I am setting out on this trip without any sleep. As a nearly-nocturnal being, I really should have known better than to schedule a 7:45a flight out of Cincinnati. But oh well. It just means that [...]


For reasons that are still not entirely clear to me, I decided to start a knitting/craft blog. I set the blog-creating process in motion a couple of months ago, but I’ve since been so paralyzed by the prospect of having to write a first post that the whole thing has just kind of languished. I [...]
