I’m on 5 of 6 repeats. Thank god. Because that means I’m close to being done. Perhaps with tonight’s Criminal Minds marathon on Ion I will manage to get it all done and off my needles and out of my grill and, you know, just, done. It looks fantastic, it’s shaping up nicely. The whole [...]

Some patterns are great but make you want to stab something.

I’m knitting this great tam by Wooly Wormhead, called “Dulcie.” It’s the second one I’ve knit and I’m making it out of some roving I spun up a la Fat Cat Knits. Now, do not get me wrong. I love this hat. I do. It is clever and mathematical and smart. I love the one [...]

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 [...]
Saturday Knitting at the Homegirl Cafe

Naturally, I did not get any pictures of knitters or of things like Angela’s Green Potion (mint and spinach lemonade, y’all, trust me it looks and sounds ghoulish but it tastes divine) or the most excellent tacos I have eaten in a long time (OMGcochinitapibil to die for, but don’t worry, this isn’t a Robert [...]
Juno, Regina.
Posted in knitting, tagged knitting, school on October 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It seemed appropriate to cast on for Juno Regina in light of having just completed a course in ancient history. Naturally, my research paper for the class was about women and textiles. While Juno didn’t have any specific links to textiles that I can find, she was the protector of women in ancient Rome, and [...]
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
Posted in knitting, lifestyle, tagged back to school, cats, knitting, sock on August 13, 2008 | 3 Comments »
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 [...]
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?
Finishing last, but at least I’m finishing.

I’ve sort of been on a finishing frenzy over vacation and since I got back. Lady E, Charade and my spiral rib socks are all cast off the needles and done. No pictures yet, but soon. The Rosebud Cardi is next up to get finished, and then I’m casting on a pair of Loksins and [...]
