I bought this little Buddha tealight holder at Target two years ago, the January that Mr. Yarnpirate moved out of our home. It was on clearance, I think, $4. I’d loved it for weeks, but couldn’t afford it at full price (I think it was like, $16? But I was mid separation and broke and [...]

You may recognize me from my old blog over at Will Pillage For Yarn I’m not really sure why I changed my blog name and moved to WordPress. Well actually I am. My blog is taking on a wider scope, though it’s still extremely knitting-centric. But I’m getting into other stuff. Painting. Cooking. Gardening. I’ve [...]
Welcome Back to the PTA
Posted in lifestyle, tagged back to school, clubs, PTA on August 28, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Back when my kids were in elementary school, I was a busy PTA mom. I chaired committees, held Book Fairs, went to meetings, led a Brownie troop, coached soccer (two kids, two divisions, 4 years of hell) and did Little League. And then the kids went to middle school and I stopped doing everything. Had [...]
Khaki Bars Across My Heart

We drove to #2 Daughter’s prospective high school this morning for what we thought was an early appointment with the registrar to attempt to register #2 Daughter for the upcoming school year, which starts next week. It was unsuccessful. We are going back tomorrow when the registrar will hopefully show up for work which she [...]
Disgruntled

Not that I need it? Not that I’m particularly deprived? It’s pure impulse and desire speaking here… I am never going to ever get a skein of Wollmeise to knit up. Just one little skein of Wollmeise, that’s all I want. Please oh please shoppers at The Loopy Ewe, couldn’t you just leave one little [...]
Light at the end of the tunnel

There’s been a change in the wind this year. Something in the water? I don’t know. But it is a shift. Getting things done. Not letting things languish. Finishing what I start. It’s kind of nice and feels a lot like moving forward. Moving out of Culver City and up to the Fortress Of Solitude [...]
Lazy Days Of Summer No More

Things are heating up here in the San Gabriel Valley and I don’t mean temperature. I mean, I’m getting BUSY. There has been a lot of driving about, proving residency, getting permits and applying to our school of choice in the new district. We don’t want to go to our home zoned school – the [...]
EZ FAIL
Posted in knitting, tagged EZ on August 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
There are times when you look at something you’ve been knitting and it is so lopsided, so wrong, so completely NOT the way it obviously was intended to look, that you can only mutter something dire under your breath and rip it off the needles. RIP, Baby Surprise Jacket. We’ll try it again when I [...]
Sometimes it is easy…

Well, Oliver Rumblestein, PhD in Prrrrr seems to be settling in just fine and has, in fact, made a conquest. Oh Mittens. You’re so easy. I took this for Lucia when I was up Eureka because I always enjoy her flower pictures so much and wanted to share one back. Have opted for no fringe [...]
Have embarked on Baby Surprise Jacket. Stop. Am dubious. Stop. Not sure, but think I am knitting origami. Stop. Y’all… I’m going to get a sweater out of this, right? It’s not like some huge cosmic Elizabeth Zimmerman knitting joke, right?
