In which there’s silk! I did the Bloggy Gift Exchange again this year and it was, of course, totally fun. I got to santa for a new mom who loves pink, and my own gift-giver was long-time friend VUBOQ, who spoiled me rotten. He sent me a fuzzy TARDIS throw and a handmade bowl/mug set […]
In which Dr. Mel’s going to Iceland next month, so he had to do some stash reduction. The good news is that Mel, in a sudden stash-reduction fit, sent me two boxes of yarn:
In which there are two things! Two exciting things! Two! The first exciting thing is that last night, while watching an episode of Torchwood, I completed the Big Brown Sweater. (You may cheer; I will hear you even over the Internet.) It spent a year and ten months on the needles, but it’s finally finished […]
In which it is all about the joy that was my local post office today. This awesome woman (who blogs here) sent me a box (because she is hella awesome) containing: Yarn, with Sci-fi! I happened to be at the post office because I was sending a RAOK package myself, to Vuboq, containing needles and […]
In which Teh BF totally comes through with the goods! Yesterday I got a belated b-day present from Kaje. And it’s not even electronic, but it still utterly RULEZ. It’s needles! Circular knitting needles! Awesome cute kick ass knitting needles that have been on my wishlist for, like, two years! And not just any needles, […]
In which I bore my non-knitting readers half to death. I’ve been knitting myself a hat. This is the third hat that I’ve started for myself; the other two I gave away because when they were finished they weren’t my hat. This hat is brown and pink, which are totally my colors. It’s not fuzzy, […]
In which there’s a parcel! Yay! The mailman came back this afternoon and left a box on the porch. This box contains the items I got with the Patternworks gift certificate my mom sent me for Christmas: I’ve been waiting for this box for over a week! I got a felted clog pattern, 2 skeins […]
In which NLW cracks me all the fuck the way up. The Ever-Handsome Mr J was out of town last night, so NLW called me and took me out to dinner at Pizza Hut. I love that about her. We talked about me, then we talked about her. Then we bought cranberry juice and chocolate […]
In which I accentuate the positive! (Yes, I’m feeling much better today.) It’s so nice outside today that I can barely stand myself. I’ve been sitting on the porch in the sun, reading. It’s so lovely! I’ve finished the back of my sweater, and I am in the process of finishing the front. I’ve used […]
In which the weather outside is frightful. No one has called (or emailed) to offer me a job today. This makes me sad. It’s been snowing since yesterday. We have a winter storm watch in effect until six o’clock. I swept off the porch and it’s cold and shitty out. My friend Snow needs a […]
