Well… the presents have all been exchanged and the cookies noshed on. I spent countless hours yesterday watching the kids play their new Wii (I happen to kick ass at Wii Golf, btw… hehe), and today I enjoyed sleeping late in my own bed today after having slept at my mom’s for two nights [...]

So last year my christmas knitting got interrupted when my house was broken into on the 20th and then I got laid off from my job on the 29th. This year… I’ve got the flu. I’ve been in bed for three days and have been utterly miserable. Obviously no knitting has been [...]

I had a perfectly good (and almost finished) post written up and then my computer decided to freeze up. *kicks it* About a week ago I got this message from Dell saying that I needed to install their support center thingy and ever since I did, I’ve had nothing but trouble… ironic, eh? [...]

It’s been a pretty good week around here. I’ve been knitting and actually making progress *gasp* I don’t have any pictures because my camera was on empty and I had to charge it, but this weekend I should be able to show off some stuff.
I finished Ravyn’s Scarf O’ Pinkness [...]

This has been done since October and regularly used by Devin, but I kept forgetting to take a picture of it. Then of course all of the drama last month (see previous post) and well… I’m finally posting it now.

My christmas knitting has come to a stall. Wanna see why?
This is what my yarn stash looks like right now because my house was broken into on Wednesday. My house is a big fat mess and several things near and dear to my heart are gone. *glares at whomever did it* Full story and more [...]

I ended up ripping out the shawl. The perfectionist in me couldn’t bear the idea of giving a gift with such a crappy error in it. I can’t for the life of me figure out what I want to do for this shawl. I’ve looked at a billion different patterns, tried a few, hated them [...]

I mentioned not too long ago that I started my sister’s shawl.
Then I found a problem…
A mystery loop of doom has shown up and it’s so many rows back that the idea of frogging back to the loop makes me very sad. I can’t decide if I’m going to rip the whole damn thing [...]

I’m not getting nearly enough knitting done despite how close we are to Christmas. But, that’s what happens when you’ve got a crazy person living in your house (who is in the process of moving out) and you’re in school and working full time.
I did manage to start a new pair of wristwarmers this week. [...]
