Olympic madness that is.
Case in point:The embarassing S.A.M. — Squamish Axe Man to those in the know — has reached new heights, or rather lows. Here he is in his Olypmic finery:
Check out the detail though – the knit stitches visible in his ‘mittens’ – that did make me smile…
I’m pretty sure real loggers don’t [...]

Whatever Happened, Happened
This episode was beautiful. It had such depth & warmth. Emotionally riveting and still driving the plot forward – this show continues to amaze me with its complexities and subtle nuances.
This episode had true soul.

**Important question at end of post!!
I am going to try and make this a regular Weds. post — past notions like this (poetry thursday for example) have lasted for a time and then…gone the way of the Dodo.
Since it is so long between FO’s though, this should help keep up the fibre content on the [...]

Did I say that? Did I join that 2008 Stash group on Ravelry? Hmmm…must have slipped my mind…
I went to the LYS yesterday to pick up some prize materials (not the Knitty violator – the LYS that is actually an hour away) and I might have just got a few things for myself while I [...]

My friend e-mailed me some pics from our cruise – thought I would share them while I wait for some blogging inspiration to strike.
I knew someone had to have one of these – Chef’s Night.

Everyone’s favourite place to be.
Knitting in a lounge – the pathetic look on [...]

The famed Whitepass Railway.
The Volendam.
Can you even believe there is finally a picture of Passin’ the Dress Code?
The pesky hem kept rolling above the elbows! Something to be said for blocking I suppose.
Here are some of the towel ‘pets’ that would greet us after dinner.
I loved the little paper eyes they used. So cute. There [...]

one Helluva(n) overdue post.
So…here’s the knitting update. Still no pic of the Dress Code – tomorrow should be a red letter day (aka I’ll be wearing makeup and my hair should be somewhat styled) so it could make for a good photo shoot. Then there’s Nagini.
Ah. Nagini. Just writing about it makes me hissss. I [...]

Where did the time go? How is it that another segment of Project Spectrum 2 is over already? This time I didn’t even get to dye my wool yet!
Oh wait – I did dye some of my handspun in the colours – see:
Oops – I haven’t loaded a pic of the black onto the [...]

Well, another week and I have lost .6 lbs!
Again, I was surprised. I was pretty sure I would have gained but…I somehow pulled out a loss. Hmmmm…
I have seen this quiz at a few blogs now and thought I would try it out – since things have been all about the dogs lately. Kira and [...]
That is the weather and not the knitting for once!
Good gracious. It is so d*mned hot here. Ugh. 29 freaking degrees of muggy humidity. It is totally gross. They have been calling for thundershowers and finally, finally there has been one lightning strike. It’s nearly 10 pm here and still nearly 30 degrees. Oh, oh [...]
