Is it a month since I last posted? I always have posts drafted in my head but I never seem to be able to get them actually written and posted. I admit, mostly because I’ve been in a knitting-photo slump til the last week. I have tons of handspun photos. Tons, […]

Sheesh, I’m not sure what happened to last week but it seems like time just flies by. I haven’t been spinning which is quite surprising for me but in my attempt to work on more of my knits, my mind draws a blank to items actually finished. Oh yeah, I started on the […]

Again, a long absence from blogging but I have had a valid reason which was not exactly fun. I got pretty sick about two weeks ago…some cold or flu and it’s taken me a while to get back to 100%. It didn’t really stop me from pursuing my favorite fibery pursuits though. […]

Being that I’m on holiday break, there’s been some serious laziness going on. It’s fantastic, this waking up so late. Although the responsible part of me is giving me a nasty case of guilt tripping, Ive shoved it back in the far recess for now until I return back to work next week. […]

Never thought I’d be quite this content as we head deep into wintertime. We barely have any sunlight but all the fibery goodies are keeping me quite happy. I don’t think I’ve been this cosy and happy in a long time, esp the last week of work which was frankly hellish. It […]

It’s been a little quiet here lately but that’s because the last three weeks was filled with Olympic watching and Ravelympic knitting but no blogging. This week also puts me back one week before school starts and that has me occupied lately. I didn’t finish both my projects for the Ravelympics but I […]

In a serious attempt to blog more regularly, I wanted to post a finished knit that flew off my fingers and that is near and dear to my heart because I think I would actually wear it. I loved the finished product and was a bit bummed that I couldn’t wear it right now, […]

This is one sweet pattern for sure. I cast off a while ago (early July) but it seems I can’t get my blogging/finishing knits together. I’m realizing that right now, I don’t have the patience for knitting garments that much but I don’t mind little sweaters like this sweet Liesl. This was […]

One of the most satisfying knits just off my needles. I’ll need to wash and block this (both of which I rarely do for my knits) just because I’m quite proud of it and this is going to my mum. So far I have these…
Sorry for the fuzziness. Had some trouble taking […]
