Wintry Weekend

After a brisk walk in the cold wind, Kira and I let the chickens out to explore. It’s their favourite thing – in all weather. The best part of spending time in the outdoors? Snuggling back inside.  Hope you’ve enjoyed a cozy winters’ weekend.

Let the Games Begin!!

  Tonight at 6 when the Opening Ceremonies begin there will be a mass Cast-On taking place all over the Knitverse! I am representing Team 4815162342 from the LOST board and will be making the Adamas Shawl – it sounds BSG but the Greek translation is: indomitable or untamable. Which feels like John Locke’s attitude [...]

The List – #32

Popcorn & PJ’s Night! This seemed like one of the easier list items to complete! Originally the idea I had was for adults to do this – then I thought I should do this with my little cousins and then I thought – hey, why not host the evening for them to enjoy with their [...]

Snugglebear!

Kira’s car blankie is complete! So it took 2 years and 2 months, what’s that in the life of a WIP? Ahh, the blink of an eye. It’s been done for a week and my elbow is still hurting. My body is apparently not so used to crocheting. Ah well! It’s well worth it — [...]

And now for something completely different….

Knitting Content!! Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you — it’s a slew (or is it slough?) of FO’s! Topmost is the Tudora Ruff- or Tudorica.    I think this picture turned out quite funny – I was actually trying to avoid a triple chin but…it makes me look kinda threatening.   I joined a traveling Scarf Exchange, [...]

Ta-Daaa!!

Now that winter is here — recognizable by it’s driving rain — it’s kinda drafty upstairs, what with the wall of windows. So yesterday, I made these: I was kind of amazed at how expensive curtains are, and I was not checking out the costly kind either. For $22 I was able to make these. [...]

Does this remind you of anything?

 If you said “Time Traveling Bunnies, then yes. You’re right.” I was originally going to put a little bunny from this book on the bag and then…the Lost lightning struck. And while I watched The Tudors (honestly – could Henry the 8th even have dreamed of looking that good?!) and a mini Food Network marathon [...]

A New Adventure

Sorry to disappoint you {or conversely: relieve you!) – this is not about the 7th, or the Minus 1th Episode of the Lucasfilm series. It has been outrageously slow at work this week. Monday morning – no children showed up. Weds. – 1 child. Thurs – 2 and today -3. The weather has been wet and cold [...]

Huzzah!

This is going to be a bleary-rambly post. I am too excited to go to bed. I just spun and plied my 1st ball of yarn!   This is how I spent the better part of my day – on the couch, pre-drafting my wool, watching Rome Season 1. I thought of Navajo plying, but [...]
