Weekend Achievements
I achieved a new personal best over the weekend in the form of pie. Apple pie, to be specific.
The picture doesn’t really do justice to this pie’s awesomeness. You just have to trust me. (Actually, six other people partook of this pie, so if you really don’t trust me I’m sure I can provide you [...]

Here I go, giving this whole blog thing another whirl . . .
Aidan and I have been in Syracuse for about a month now. And although we’re still feeling some of the residual stress that inevitably comes with significant life changes, we’re both enjoying the city, our new apartment, the cats, each other, etc. Over [...]

Y Control
You can tell it’s summer. The cats seem vaguely annoyed that we’re home all the time interrupting their naps, Aidan is heavy into a new video game, and the joy of being done with the semester is offset by the anxiety of knowing the next steady paycheck is months away. I’m just glad that it [...]

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 [...]

A quick and dirty update
Oh, end of the semester–how you make me want to bang my head against the wall.
I have a ton of work to get done, and I am happy to report that I’m actually making progress. I feel like everything that was laid out before me was a gigantic boulder stuck in a rut in the [...]

Where the hell have I been?
Well, I’ve been traveling, so I’ve been a couple of places. But mostly, I think I’ve been pulled into a time suck where I keep meaning to do various things (like blog) but keep forgetting or running out of time and meanwhile time just keeps passing so quickly that I think I’m developing some anxiety [...]

New Things
I have three finished items that I still need to post about, but I haven’t got around to taking pictures of them yet due to a combination of gloomy weather, forgetfulness, and a recently discovered need for some pretty serious cat hair removal. I strongly warn anyone against leaving anything black laying out too long [...]

A Story of Superhuman Sleeves
This past June (or was it May?), I decided to take advantage of my extra summer knitting time to take on Thermal, a sweater I’ve wanted to knit since the pattern came out but felt intimidated by the skinny yarn and tiny needles. I ended up finishing most of the knitting in about six weeks, [...]

I finished Aidan’s birthday socks on Monday night.
(I know that Aidan is really excited that I included this last photo.)
I also started a new project–the Peek-a-Boo cloche from Lace Style (Ravelry link). I love the construction of this hat. You start by knitting the stockinette liner for the hat from the top down, and then [...]

Some quick updates
I bought Aidan the second season of Dexter for his birthday, and we’ve been working our way through the season this weekend. We’re about two episodes from the end of the season (Dexter is preparing to turn himself into the police) and I’m feeling very anxious. It doesn’t help that the episode is playing to [...]
