Guten morgen, y’all. Oh, what a wonderful morning. Oh, what a beautiful day. Everything’s coming up roses. Everything’s going my way. Ok. Moment over. Can you tell I’m feeling human again? Anyway, as I mentioned, I have made some progress on the Philosopher’s Sweater. The pen lying across the fabric is standard size. Those of…

Goodness! It’s been nearly a week since I last posted! It’s been a ride, but it seems to be leveling out. ThreadBear is definitely becoming a full time job, and my contract web work is filling in the gaps. I’m amazed that I’m still able to work a full time office job to boot. <shudder>…

Yes, I’ve been slack in blogging for the last week, but the chaos appears to be subsiding… somewhat. For now, let’s review where I am. I’ve gotten a few more inches on the Philosopher’s sweater. I’ve started the Asymmetrical Vest from Sally Melville’s latest book, The Knitting Experience. I wound up ripping the toe-up sock…

Good Lord, have mercy. Have you ever had one of those days that lasted for three? It’s been like that around here. My old job is drying up, and while I’m not terribly sad to see it go, it does feel like trading the devil you know for the one you don’t. And if that’s…

I’m ready to cry. I’ve gotten to do almost no fiber work all week. ThreadBear’s been updated, and I’ve gotten in some new contract web work, and that’s financially rewarding, but it’s not knots. That’s where the muse lives. Sorry, everyone. That said, guess what? Tonight is our Third Thursday Dinner and Knit-Night, and I’ll…

Oops. Misnomer. I said earlier that Cascade’s Leisure is cotton and llama. It’s actually cotton and alpaca. Doh!

Oh, what a weekend. First of all, we had a houseful of folks in attendance for a felted clog workshop Saturday afternoon. My thanks to everyone that was able to make it. We had a great time. We also had an amazing day for sales, so that’s never a bad thing. The afternoon came to…
UFOs
Tonight is our local knitters guild meeting (Bloomington Knitters Guild in Bloomington, Indiana if anyone is interested), and our program is UFOs: Why are they languishing and do you intend to finish them? We’re a pretty close bunch, so I don’t mind showing off my unfinished projects at all, but I so hate that designation.…
Ambitious Beginners
I was speaking with Annie of Modeknit via e-mail this morning, and it came up that we’d both started our knitting experience with what most people would probably consider somewhat ambitious projects. It occured to me that it really wasn’t all that ambitious and that had I had even the most rudimentary guidance when I…
Oops.
I knew it would happen. I was reminded of a WIP that I forgot to record. I was designing a sampler throw pillow that got shoved aside after the Philosopher’s Sweater got underway. Rob and I were in the car this weekend, and out of the blue, he asked if I was ever going to…
