I keep wanting to say HIPPOPOTOMUS (sp?). I enthusiastically started this sock yesterday and while I love the pattern, I really don’t think that the yarn is going so well with the pattern. The yarn is SO variegated and so random that I think a plainer pattern works better. I can barely […]

A quick memorial day blog, and a wrap up of May. So today, I am blogging outside. The weather’s gorgeous and my parent’s backyard is gorgeous. My family had lunch outside today…and now I’m taking advantage of being outdoors. I’ve felt the winter too keenly this year and aching for hot […]

A free day at last! Almost wishing I could laze around but I’m one of those people who is happiest being busy, especially if its doing stuff I love. So today, I planned (vaguely yesterday because I was sooo exhausted) that I would 1. do laundry 2. maybe dye 3. practice guitar (I […]

Taken from Eyebeam blog…10,000 hand drawn sheep. Amazing. More updates later…been a busy, non-knitting week for me.

I’ve been so excited about dyeing that I’ve forgotten to blog. =) Kool-aid dyeing is so fun, I wish I had more yarn to dye with. Anyhow, he’s what I’ve done so far. I ordered yarn from Wool2dye4 and originally ordered their Supersock (merino) but it was out of stock […]

Knitting updates: I finished one Jaywalker sock and completed the front half of the Fitted Tank…but I took a break from that to make a warping board. So, out came the power tools, a quick trip to Home Depot, sweat and sore fingers…and I made this! Thanks to Scoutj’s (Dyeing Super mama) instructions. […]

I’m exhausted and this day isn’t over yet! I thought I would do a post for Project Spectrum…I found this photo on my brother’s Flickr. I’ll admit, he’s doing really well with his work on his photography. He took this photo in Huntington Library in Pasadena….a beautiful site for photographers.
He has a […]

With visitors in town and family friends around, I haven’t had much time to do anything in terms of knitting. I’ve finally finshed the heel and heel gusset of the Jaywalker sock at least but I am still only on sock numero uno.
But we’ll have to talk about food because I went to a […]

I’ve been neglecting my knitting because I’ve been busy learning how to spin on my new drop spindle. It’s been really interesting and frustrating at the same time. Okay, mostly it is frustrating!  I don’t get the drafting part at all!  So I just split the roving into smaller and thinner pieces and […]

The mother of a seven-year-old boy who was punished at a Roxboro school for his eating habits, which are customary in the Philippines, is seeking a public apology from the administrator for his comments.
Over the last couple of months, Luc Cagadoc says he was moved to an empty table about 10 times by École Lalande’s […]
