The Almost F0: We Call Them Pirates Hat.

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

When I’m driving from/to home to/from work, my mind always wonders off to lala land and I’ll eventually start writing a blog post mentally in myhead. I have wonderful ideas and topics in my head that I want to write about but the minute I sit down in front of my laptop, I draw […]

A piece of beauty

Monday, February 26th, 2007

My poor, frequently dropped cell phone rings through the haze of sleep.”Hello?” I manage to say.
It’s 2.05am.
“Hey babe, I just got off work fifteen minutes ago.” Said the boyfriend who I dropped off at work Sunday morning at the buttcrack of dawn. 5.36am to be specific.
“Damn, no wonder I didn’t hear from you today. […]

Addition to the library

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Today was supposed to be a nightmare of a day! Something about work and this witchy-like woman with fake boobs. But it wasn’t so bad at all. I got home early and found this package sitting at the doorstep. Stefanie Japel’s Fitted Knits!!!

Beautiful designs, knitting to fit, no seams…I was sold […]

Knitting un-blocked: latest FO.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

This knit languished away for a long time, despite the loveliness of the yarn (soft, gorgeous Manos in the Wildflower colourway-ooooh) BUT I could BARELY bring myself to knit more than several rows at a time before I got bored or another knit captured my interest. I pretended to knit through Thanksgiving, Christmas and […]

Handknit Street Style

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Lolly started a meme and a Flickr Pool of knitters proudly wearing their gorgeous handknits.

I love hats! Unfortunately, I haven’t worn many of my handknits on a daily basis but this Rasta hat has become an integral part of my winter wardrobe. Here I am at this years New Year party, where we […]

Alot of knitting going on but nothing finished yet. Just A LOT of socks.

Piece of Beauty yarn ready to be knit up as the Monkey sock from Knitty.

Lovely squishy yarn from Sweet Georgia’s Speed Demon in Life Aquatic. I’m knitting up a pair of Campfire socks by Cider Moon. I am […]

That looks so fetching, m’dear.

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

My first finished FO for 2007! Hoorah for Fetching! I had originally started this knit using RYC Cashsoft and Size 6 (4.25mm) DPNs and finished one fingerless mitten but stopped because it ended up being slightly too big. I like my gloves alot snugger, and the person I am gifting, has teeny […]
