Month: March 2003

Yeah, I thought I was going to manage to avoid discussion of that idiotic article altogether. Then I saw my blog mentioned in someone else’s* post in reference to how exclusive the ahem… "journalist" was of the many male and other not-quite-stereotypical knitters. <sigh> It’s not going to happen. I won’t go into how dumb…

I’m thinking the ad should run: Lovely sweater in need of good home. Slightly used by chagrined beagle. Smells pleasantly of beautiful woman who won’t listen. <evil grin> All right, Teresa. Pick C up off the floor, and tell her I’ve pulled the ad. For those of you who don’t recall, this is the sweater…

Busy, busy. As I mentioned, several upgrades have now been made to Crowing Ram, and I’ll be working on getting them applied to Black Dog, too. We had several orders that needed to go out today, and one customer needed a color consultation. So out I went to the deck and morning sun to ask…

I’ll keep it short for now, but I wanted to point out that I just added a new commenting system. Awesome!!! By the way, are my geek-roots showing? 😉

Sit back, knittin’ kiddies, this one’s a hoot. About two years ago while Rob and I were still living in Lansing, Michigan, we regularly haunted Yarn…

Yes, it’s been almost another whole week since I had last sat down and wrote. Actually there are still about twenty other things (dramatic underestimate) that I need to be doing, but I absolutely can’t let Teresa, C, and Denise’s visit go without comment. We all had a wonderful time, it was really great being…

Yes, friends and neighbors, it lives. I’ve marched through the valley of the shadow of… busy, and I’ve come out the other end. Thanks to everyone who’s been wondering where I am, but I’m all right. For those of you who don’t know, I recently left my "day job" to work full time as a…
