a jazzy alternative to the present day

Which I say because I still don't really know anyone in Austin, so I just sit around at home listening to records, watching movies/baseball, and knitting. I guess it could be worse? I really need to meet some people, though. Here are some picture...

I have been knitting, even though I haven't posted in a while. I'm in a stretch of largish projects, so I'm basically just chipping away at things at the moment. This has been my project on the bus: That picture is a bit old, as I'm about two-th...

I am just so proud of myself. I was working on this great capelet pattern on my own, no pattern or anything. I used top-down raglan calculations, cast on, worked back and forth for an open cardigan style, did kfb increases, 2x2 ribbing, the whole ...

is this rambling story of magic and heroism true?

As always I have a few things on the needles, but the memory card for my camera broke two weeks ago so it's been hard to document correctly. Also, blocking takes forever. BUT. I finished my Clapotis. I might give it to my mom for Xmas, but I'm ...

I need to join some sort of support group, because I can't stop making them. The textures are just great, and I loved the colors in this yarn (from the swap I mentioned before). I can't wait for it to cool down so that I can put this to good us...

A few weeks ago I was contacted by an ex-pat living in Sweden about some yarn I had listed as "sell/trade" on Ravelry. We ended up doing a bit of a swap; I sent her all of my Knit Picks Essential and a big bag of Reese's Pieces, and she sent me th...

I swear I've been knitting a lot (predominantly on my Clapotis), but it's just ... weaving is so much faster! Finally, a use for my Katia Colibri. It's beautiful yarn, but it doesn't knit up or crochet well. It does, however, weave up very well...

Lefty's blocking. That makes my 41st project of 2008. I should blast through 50 in no time. Go me! Too bad my queue has like 200+ things on it.

Here I am, in Austin, TX. My stuff isn't here yet, so I'm sleeping on a couch. As such it doesn't quite feel like home yet. I'm making strides, though. While in LR I went to a Hobby Lobby and got a skein of the softest cotton in the world which I...
