New Year, New Plans, 2014 Recap, Knitting (and Spinning) as Self Care...
January 09, 2015 01:38It's been a while since I last visited this space. One month to be exact. I can say that 2014 was an interesting ride that ended with the realization that I wasn't always the driver. I'm fine being a passenger, as a matter of fact, I enjoy it on occasions, but I didn't do a lot of driving this year at all. And if I did, it was definitely more autopilot than truly active driving. Both challenging and chaotic for a recovering control freak. A lot of things 'got away' from me at the end of the ...

NaKniSweMo 2014 [Week 1]
November 09, 2014 20:48Hello November! November is "National Knit a Sweater Month" month aka, NaKniSweMo! This challenge runs alongside NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), a challenge to... well, if you can't figure it out, I can't help you. For the sweater challenge, all you have to do is complete a sweater with a minimum of 50,000 stitches by November 30th. Most adult sweaters knit with DK or Worsted weight yarn probably fit the bill. Smaller yarn - DK, Sport, Fingering - are a pretty solid win with the s...

Knitting Dreams for 2015
September 16, 2014 19:40I've been participating in the Soak Wash Photo-A-Day Challenge and it's been revealing quite a bit about me as a knitter: - I don't use a lot of tools. The ones I use most are associated with repair. - I don't use the trendy knitting bags. I keep it simple, see-thru, and I still use plastic bags. - Beaverslide Dry Goods is going to bankrupt me. I love wool. - I like cowls. A LOT. Oversized, lacy, interesting patterns and textures, all the above. - My handspun is my favorite yarn. Natura...
Realistic + Unrealistic
September 10, 2014 07:11I planned to do a quick and dirty blog post this past weekend. Then I got tired and decided taking a nap was a better option. I'm an introvert, I need to conserve my energy! I'm still debating on if I want to blog here on the videocast site or on my previous dedicated rambling site, but since there will be a tie in to a near future videocast KAL- that's Knit-A-Long for you slowpokes out there - this post is appropriate. I've been doing a lot of cleaning... (Go ahead and laugh. I am like a...
