Today, I was made of fail for devoting anytime to knitting. I couldn’t help it, the ball winder had arrived and I just had too much fun finally taking care of numerous half used ‘about to be a complete snarled mess’ skeins of yarn and winding them into neat yarncakes. I even did the opened [...]

Today I finally got some good knitting time in. I casted on and bound off, the Sparkly Tudora, a present for a friend that was supposed to have been made months ago but I kept sitting on since I knew I wasn’t going to see him anytime soon. He wears mostly black so but is [...]

Again the day got eaten up with tent trailer stuff but that night I finally got to work on some stuff. * I finished knitting the white square for Fuzzy Bunny #1. The Bernat Caress yarn is a nice one, thick and fluffy but you can still clearly see the stitches unlike the yarn used [...]

First off, to explain Ravelympics, you need to know that Ravelry is a fantastic community site for knitters and crocheters providing not only community boards for discussing our projects on but also a huge database of yarns and patterns for inspiration. Ravelympics is an community wide event where people are making projects within the timeframe [...]

Preface: This post ended up being an ongoing diary to myself about knitting Jayne hats for the CA Browncoats to sell at Comic Con 2008 in late July. —————– (started this post on a Monday – sorry don’t remember which) Jayne #15 on the needles now. Bought more Mustard (yellow) yarn today since I’ve only [...]

As I mentioned sometime ago in a post (as in more than a year ago), I’d gotten back into crocheting because of the dogs. Weston with his nakedness really needs sweaters plus Captain likes them too (and so did Almond – miss you girl). I officially started in summer 2004 while in PA when I [...]

For design ideas. Now that I’m all into knitting and really enjoying it, I keep getting design inspirations that I don’t want to forget about. Right now I have at least 4 different ideas for fingerless glove patterns.  Two inspired by movies and it wasn’t til today that I realized the irony that the first [...]

that not everyone has a giant banner in their apartment featuring drag queens. In other news, TGIF and man do I want to get pizza from Two Brothers (officially known as Stefano’s Two Guys From Italy), cast on for something new and watch dvds for the rest of the day. Even though I haven’t finished [...]

Lesson learned: always make sure the halves of the pompom maker are facing each other correctly otherwise it’s a PITA to get them apart off the pompom. Not fond of making them so just made myself make a whole bunch so that I don’t have to for a while… kept going til I ran out [...]

Anyone who loves Firefly is familiar with the monstrosity of a hat that Jayne’s mudder knitted for him. It’s become a thing to knit/have as a badge of “fandom” and also because it’s just plain fun. Yesterday I finally went to the Michaels with my store credit and picked up yellow & orange yarn for [...]
