I had all these hopes of posting every day, and what happened? What always happens? Life gets in the way. In this case, holiday knitting. My list was a little shorter this year, or at least it started out that way. I ended up with a quite a few items made, but most of them [...]

Work sucks right now. Well, the work itself doesn’t suck, but the atmosphere does. My Director announced on Friday that he was leaving the company in two weeks. He didn’t take the time to pull me aside and talk to me ahead of time before announcing it to the entire department, and for that I [...]

I am participating in the CJ Kopec Nov/Dec Put Your Own Twist on It Spin A Long (SAL) and I’m super excited. Since I’ve been spinning for over a year now, I’m getting to the point that I can spin a consistent thickness. It’s not quite as thin as I’d like it yet, but it’s [...]

I’ve been spinning more recently. Spinning Guild meeting was on Sunday, and as of Saturday I had half of 4oz spun. Saturday night, I finished the other 2 oz and plied, and ended up with a respectable skein of about 160 yards of a Yarn Love colorway: I really liked the richness of the colors [...]

Last night’s entry didn’t happen. I’m going to have to find a way to post earlier so I don’t just blow it off due to being tired. Today was good at work. Got my office resituated after getting new carpet, tied up some things I’d left lingering for a while, and then had yummy mexican [...]

Not much to update on today. I’m working on my swap gift, knitting on a test item for myself, and listening to Breaking Dawn. Yes, I’m very, very lame.

All you Twilight haters out there can just bite me (tee hee! OMG TEAM JACOB!!!!!). But seriously. The books aren’t THAT terrible, right? *crickets chirping* Guys, I’m not totally hopeless, right? My WIP and my guilty pleasure. Breaking Dawn on Audible.

I decided last week that I needed to make my older sister, Nicki, a gift for her 33rd birthday on the 15th. I also decided that there was no flipping way I was going to knit her socks. So, instead, I used some of my very first handspun and made some Maine Morning Mitts. I [...]

I will admit it, I do not understand how a person can talk on the phone while in the bathroom. I could ALMOST understand it at home. When you’re alone, and there is no other noise to worry about it. I still think that’s skeevy but to each their own. When you’re in a public [...]

And I’m tired. I did complete my blog for today. Barely. Not too much to report today. Woke up, had lunch with Laura (mmmmmm sushi again!), dropped off my ring for buffing, came home to knit. Worked on Carol’s xmas socks for a while, then went to hang out at Clint & Cindy’s for dinner. [...]
