Snow, lots of snow
There is so much snow. Oodles and gobbles of snow. Snow everywhere. On everything. Cold cold snow. Lots of it. It’s a knitters freakin’ paradise, or it would be if I could find a proper LYS out here. I’m pretty much stuck to Micheal’s in Klamath Falls for yarnage. Let’s just take a moment to [...]
Insomnia is not my friend
Still, not sleeping gives me a chance to catch up on some of those yarn eating projects that I’d otherwise miss out on doing. Like making a pair of undies for Lexi’s baby in a gender neutral acrylic yarn. No embiggening needed for this picture, I think this is about all the hideousness of acrylic, [...]

It’s kind of boring so I put a kicky soundtrack to it and edited it [...]

I was a little worried that changing the gauge would alter the angle of the raglan shaping and cause all sorts of disasters, but just by good luck it seems to have had [...]
Mail Day!
Mail day! Opal aka the AkamaiKnitter sent me some goodies! The teal green wool is amazing to spin, and I’m looking forward to breaking into those cookies and candies after the kidlets go to bed. Well of course Opal deserves a good mail day too so among her stuff will be enough silk yarn to [...]
