A few days ago I mentioned that I was going to try to be more respectful in work and life. I haven't forgotten. Once I'd written it down (or to be more literal, typed it) and thought about it, I really realized how much poor attitudes are dragging me down. Today I read with interest … Continue reading I hope this will be a trend
Imaginary Knitting
Brenda Dane of Cast On just posted a new episode last week. I haven't listened yet, but I read the show notes and they asked about imaginary knitting. Jenny & Nicole from Stash & Burn talk about it a bit too. I have to admit I've got a lot of imaginary knitting going on in … Continue reading Imaginary Knitting
Something fun
I got nothing as far as things to say. So here's a picture of a fun cookie jar that Eliza found at the NY Sheep & Wool Festival (no we didn't buy it, but it would work for my collection).
Do I know what lace is?
So, Eliza decide she'd like one of those "big scarf that you can wrap around your neck twice, or put over your head, like a hood. You, know, the kind that Clarissa* has?" Okay, so I don't know who Clarissa* is but I can guess what the scarf is like - a large loopy cowl, … Continue reading Do I know what lace is?
Friday Rambling: Respect
Well, I've been posting something every day this month. I've been avoiding committing to the fact that I seem to be participating in NaBloPoMo this year in so far as I am trying to post something every day. I don't know if there's an official way to participate, I just figured I'd give it a … Continue reading Friday Rambling: Respect
Booking through Thursday: E-volution – Would you buy an e-reader?
E-readers like the Kindle and iPad are sweeping the nation … do you have one? Do you like it? Do you find it changes your reading/buying habits? If you don’t have one, do you plan to?I don't yet have an e-reader, and I have to admit I did not see myself getting one in the … Continue reading Booking through Thursday: E-volution – Would you buy an e-reader?
Limping my way through stockinette
So a few weeks ago, my left elbow hurt after I took a somewhat long (for me) bike ride. I thought it was just irritated, so I waited a few weeks before I called the doctor. Well after three months of it getting worse, I finally called. Long boring story short, I have tennis elbow. … Continue reading Limping my way through stockinette
New England Fiber in it’s purest form
So, for my last New England Fiber post, I thought I'd share a few pictures I took when we first arrived. Right after entering the show, we saw the animals. I didn't bring my camera with me, so these were taken with my handy dandy phone. First up were the Angora Goats: The alpacas were … Continue reading New England Fiber in it’s purest form
New England Fiber Finds
So, while I didn't find any buttons at the New England Fiber Festival this weekend, I did find something I'd never seen before. A wise person, (aka Savanahchik) said she likes to buy things at fiber festivals that she can't get at home. I definitely agree with this philosophy - it's fun to get things … Continue reading New England Fiber Finds
Bonus Fiber Day
Today I got to play a bit of hookie from chores and took off for Springfield to go to the New England Fiber Festival with my mother-in-law and a friend of hers. I had two goals for my trip - some buttons and a trip to Spunky Eclectic's booth to say hi to Amy & … Continue reading Bonus Fiber Day
