Life has been very crazy around these parts. Last Saturday I went up to Wyandotte, MI, to see my dad at the Wyandotte Street Art Fair. There was a local spinner tent and a yarn store a block away. Needless to say, I made a few stash enhancement ac...

management refused our demand to switch casual friday to monday.

I think it's time for a Friday Fill-In. 1. Oh, I can't wait until I have a class schedule for the Fall semester. 2. Tostidos Chunky Salsa is the first thing I see when I open my refrigerator. 3. I never leave home without something to knit. 4....

Today I found out about a wonderfully wonderful knitting event, the Ravelympics! Basically, it's a free-for-all where knitters/crocheters/spinners/etc. pick crafty events to participate in. You can't start the project(s) until the opening ceremony...

Music QotW: Summer Songs

nobody@vox.com(emma) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:35:09 -0400

What ten songs would you put on a summertime mix? OOooooo! I like this one! I dare not justify, because that would be far too hard. Instead, I shall list them and let you ponder! Maybe I'll put up some mp3s when I get home. Each file is linked t...

Here is a quick picture parade of my latest FO, Ysolda Teague's Rose Red. Oh, and I did some more holiday yarn shopping at Wool & Co. in Geneva, IL. BUT! I was good and only got yarn for patterns in my Ravelry queue. Totally unrelated: I am ...

it's all so complicated, with the flowers, and the romance, and the lies upon lies

I'm at my parents' place for the week, and it's been really awesome so far. The most obvious reason is because I'm not in Ohio. Also, because my mom keeps giving me money for stuff. And Cory (my brother) and I went to the White Sox game last night...

I'm on a knitting role lately. I think I mentioned earlier that I got an informal commission to make some hats. Well, I made some hats. I made the first one, Stella's Hat, today while at work. Very quick project, and I really like how it turned ...

I wanted something quick to knit, and it turns out this was incredibly quick to knit. I made it while sitting at work watching The Sarah Jane Adventures. The last time I made a Calorimetry it took two nights and turned out gigantic. So, this ti...

Music QotW: Favorite Soundtrack

nobody@vox.com(emma) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:57:06 -0400

What's your favorite soundtrack? Based on my last.fm accounts (yes, I have two, so that I could listen to my own radio stations) I have two soundtrack albums that are nearly identical in play totals. To be honest, though, the second is mo...
