Well, this may not be the most flattering of photos, but I don’t particularly care… the hat looks mag. This is knit from my Fat Cat Knits “little luxuries” November fiber club offering – silk, bamboo and merino wool. Not technically shatnez, thank G-d, as it is not wool and linen, though it *is* wool [...]
Done…

Knitting with handspun is such a joy! This was a quick and fun little pattern and the perfect choice to show off the variations of handpainted, handspun rovings. Mom has arrived from the wilds of the frozen Northlands (ok, Modesto) and we are embarking on a dizzying round of Stuff today. As well as an [...]

Mittens Von Skitterspants, Ship’s Cat of the Good Ship HMS Fabulous, is home from the hospital today! We have to take him back if he stops eating again, but I plan to tempt him with tuna, lobster and sauteed shrimp, so hopefully that will not be necessary. To say that we are all relieved is [...]

Well we could use some good thoughts around here. Mittens Von Skitterspants, Ship’s Cat of the Good Ship the HMS Fabulous, is still in the hospital, and he’s not doing so well. Long time readers of this blog may remember when he landed in kitten ICU two holiday seasons ago. This time of year does [...]

I am not sure to what I owe the sudden surge in traffic, but, hey, that’s kind of neat that people are reading! Welcome! It’s been a real doozy of a week, and it is only Thursday. I am a little gobsmacked by how much has been packed in to just a few short days. [...]

So this might be considered my Chanukah gift to myself, I cast it off last night. Laura Chau’s Simple Yet Effective Shawl [ravelry link] done up in my handspun. Half a skein of Oliver New and one full skein of Lovesick, dyed by Funky Carolina; A full skein of Mephistopheles, dyed by Pigeonroof Studios; About [...]
Put on your yarmulke, it’s time to celebrate Chanukah!

It’s a miserable cold day here at Casa Fabulous. I am really sick with lurgy, and have possibly flunked a test, so more grateful than ever for the advent of shabbos. Two and a half hours and it will be upon us. And it is also the first night of Chanukah, so I needed to [...]
Kosher: Our Favorite Shabbos Orange Salmon

One of the things I’ve been told is that it is a mitzvah to eat really well for shabbos. That you should try to have a bit of meat on the table, not to mention using your best china and linens to really make it special. I hate to admit it, but, when describing my [...]

There’s been a fair whack of spinning and knitting going on here, Chez Honey and Ollie, though not a ton of finished anything to show for it. I’m particularly pleased with this bump of fiber from Funky Carolina though, which I spun up last week. The finished product exceeded all my hopes: This one from [...]
