No, I’m not talking about the Harrison Ford movie of the late ’80s. It’s the countdown to our Grand Opening, and ladies and joims, it’s a bit mad at Chez ThreadBear. Most of the physical demolition and construction on the house is done, but the property owner and I each still have a fairly hefty…

Be vewwy vewwy quiet. We’re hunting a yarn shop! It’s just after 5:30am, and the shop is quiet and still for the moment. But wait. There’s something stirring, and it’s considerably larger than a mouse! Yup. I’ve been up all night again, and let me tell you: it’s been a long one. No, I haven’t…

Do you ever have those flashes of your childhood that just won’t get out of your head until you share them? I was a TV junky as a kid, and I loved cartoons. When I was sitting down to write my first blog post from the new digs after… Wow! almost a month, all I…

In the words of Pepe le Pew’s most feline paramour, le pant, le puff, le pant, le puff! We’re getting there. Really, we are. The big move is days away, and we’re working our collective tuchus off. At the end of the day, there’s not a lot of brain juice left for my knitting. So…

How do, everyone? Glad to be back among the mostly living. I’m busy-busy as we near the moving date, but as Rob mentioned at Black Dog this morning, there are some things in the works. First, yes, we sat around and watched TV with our friend Christy last night. She’s been as busy as we…

Hi, My name is Matt, and I’m a… *nervous cough* I’m a Preppy. God, people!! You’re supposed to say, "Hi, Matt," and make me feel all welcome about it. Well, all right. I don’t exactly have the full wardrobe anymore, but then again, I don’t really have a full wardrobe anymore. If I did, rest…

Well, thanks to everyone for the kind words about the Sigma Tank. I hope everyone who knits one (and everyone who wears one) enjoys it thoroughly. But frankly, I’m more proud at the moment that I finally finished my Aslan socks! The poor things languished in my project basket for ages while I got other…

I know. I know. If I couldn’t have gotten it posted earlier I would have. But that’s life for you. Hi, everybody! I actually started a post ten days ago, but well… that didn’t happen. So what I’m going to do is cull my photo folder and see what’s been going on that’s taken up…

Just in case the TagBoard cycles through and you miss the Q&A, let me offer you a little background. Apparently, Stasia of Stasia’s Place of Grace was referred to yours truly by Kary of Kary’s Musings to check out the Rambling Rows afghan of Rachel’s that I posted last week. Stasia mentioned several things, and…

Yes, I suppose it does sound somewhat grandiose, but by God, I’ve had it with all the detritus that has plugged up my energy lately. I need flow! A little esoteric for you? Ok. The house is a wreck, I’m a wreck, my knitting isn’t getting done, and all of the wonderful things that I’ve…
