Project Spectrum blues

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Gorgeous sock yarn from Lisa Souza that I hope to start on sometime soon. I’m not even sure if I’ll be starting any colours from PS 2.0 because I’m still working on unfinished projects but I had to show these off. The colour is soothing and brilliant, making me wish I was on […]

Favourite online stores

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Rainy days…long hours…loud kids…and even more annoying adults. Knitting has been a very welcome escape for me despite the lack of time lately. I seem to spend a lot of time browsing online yarn stores. Here are two of my favourites.

This store is a new find for me, thanks to Lime & […]

Happy 2007!

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

I finally got to use my present (the loveliest Canon SD600) over the New Year holiday. My brother has one of those really nice fancy digital SLR cameras but I wanted something compact and a point and shoot. So this was my first and pretty much, only choice. I love it!
New years […]

A very Meat Head Xmas

Friday, December 29th, 2006

I wasn’t going to knit for xmas but decided very last minute to do so. Boy, does knitting with size 15 needles make you feel like you have two left feet (or something like that)…however, they were a very fast knit. I learned that I hate seaming, even with fat yarn and I […]

Gag reflex…

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

anyone else feel it while watching the AMA’s and the Pussycat Dolls trying to sing while distracting us all by shaking their nubile bodies during a poorly choreographed dance routine? Oh man, when did I become such a music snob? But you have to agree, unless you’re a 14 year old boy, PSD […]
