No new knitting progress to share, but I did manage to wind all of this yarn over the weekend — no small feat, given the number of tangles I encountered. Luckily, the colors are so deep and vibrant that it was worth it. Yarn is Fleece Artist Somoku, in colorway Masala. I ordered this (from [...]

Boh is worried about my june bug socks. He thinks that I’ll get distracted with life and other knitting projects and never finish them. Never fear, my dear dog. The first heel has been turned. And I have proof:
If I can get some serious reading done this morning, I’ll reward myself with some podcast listening [...]

I headed west for the wedding of a dear friend: my first partner in crime at my first real job. The nature of this job required that we move to a brand-new-to-us city, find a house, establish a network, and jump into 18 hour days for almost 4 months. We emerged from that experience dear [...]

My third pinwheel is growing…which is a good thing, as it needs to be finished for a wedding I am attending in a few weeks. The rest of my knitting doesn’t look much different from my last posts, so I’ll spare you from trying to figure out if I knit 5 st or 25 st [...]

Brussel sprouts…
Boh asleep on my Bed (note that his head is on the pillow. Silly dog)…
Beret #2. How did that happen?
(no-knead) Bread #4. This time I used bread flour, and Boy is it Beautiful!
I didn’t actually plan for today to be sponsored by the letter B, but it is nice when things turn out that [...]
