Again.
I’m even surprising myself lately.
Scrunchable Scarf #1 (Ravelry link to the project) was knit as a special request:

I realllllllllly liked it while I was knitting it.
No. You don’t understand…I REALLY liked it.
I wanted to keep it for myself. (more pics here)
I kept squishing it and scrunching it (it’s named perfectly).
Had I not been […]

*There is nothing related to knitting, spinning, or crocheting in this post.
I saw this news report while drinking my morning coffee today and I almost spit it out.
Seriously? Spanking = Child Abuse?
That nurse in Arlington should be ashamed of herself for even suggesting it. And I’m ashamed that this is happening here […]

The importance of having people in your life that “get you” is very important to me and cannot be overlooked.
For me, it is a requirement.
However, with family members, sometimes it’s a crapshoot. But even if they don’t “get you”, they’ll still love you and all that good stuff.

After not touching my wheel for what seemed like forever, I’ve finally been able to snatch some bits of time here and there to sit down and spin some of the fiber I’ve gotten recently (and some of it not so recently).
Last Saturday night, while watching Knocked Up (very funny movie, BTW), I spun October’s […]

I never very rarely knit a pattern multiple times. Even with socks, I’ve never done 2 pairs exactly the same.
That is, until now. And it’s actually happening with two three of my current projects!
The first one is my mom’s Bull’s Eye sweater. Still lacking arms, but I’ve got plenty of […]
