There’s knitting. But first, a word from our sponsors. OK, we don’t have sponsors. We barely have readers anymore. But, because Knitch has put the call out to local bloggers to Shout It Out and I LOVE KNITCH : [directly copied/pasted from Claudia] Stitch N’ Pitch [July 15th] with the Braves and the Pirates! Here [...]

Today’s WTF Wednesday is more in the vein of “WTF, why is this happening? And WTF can we do about it?” When I read Janice’s post this morning, I realized just how bad I’ve been at keeping up with blogs lately. I didn’t even know about what Gerry, Annie and the family were going through. [...]

I was beginning to think I would never in my lifetime be looking at this: Finishing this object was like molasses flowing uphill in January. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pair of socks on the needles this long, I really don’t. In all fairness, it’s not as if I didn’t have any warning. [...]

For me, this is eye candy. And it’s also heart and mind candy because it’s a relief to have it done at long last. Las Llamas have been sheared. Shorn? I always say shorn but spell check hates it. The people I bought them from came to do the work and it was a nice [...]

Pretend it never happened. Or, you could write a post detailing your failures. Behold The Intarsia Sweater of Mixed Success: Which I started because of my love for Debbie Bliss’s Sheep Dress. Except I guess you couldn’t call it love since I didn’t knit the dress. There’s something about the collar and sleeves on that [...]

Last week pretty much shot my Effed-Oh wad. So now I’m on to new projects and maybe trying to finish up one old or two old languishing things. I’ve been trying this system where I work on one thing until it’s finished. I know what you’re thinking. “AWAY, FOUL BLASPHEMER!” But for the moment it [...]

The item Jared was holding was not a moldy strawberry, or any other type of fruit/veg. Not for a lack of availability, mind you. Roz guessed it right off and Kristi and Otis knew where it came from. Knowing what blog you were reading, I’m surprised it wasn’t more obvious. The squeamish should just scroll [...]

No, you’re at JenLa. Bet you didn’t know it was Utterly Fuck With Your Heads Week, did you? First I post an FO on Monday, then La posts one yesterday. And now today, I have another one! Try not to freak out about all this knitting content. Can we keep it up all week? [Hint: [...]
