Horror in the Barn

jenifleur | September 27, 2007

Calling the Chicken Goddess!! I went up to the big barn today to check on the sheep and fill the trough. The big barn is kind of quiet, it opens on the back to the 127 acres of woods and it’s a good place to think. Or if you’re kind of jumpy, it’s a good [...]

Tuesday Love

jenifleur | September 25, 2007

SAFF handspun sweater challenge sweater: DONE. Whew. And yes, I put the damned zipper in myself. By machine. And it could be better-WOULD be better if Jared had done it-but it’s in, it functions and now certain people are going to have to expend their energy finding something else to rag me about. I guess [...]

Reason #5428 That Knitch Rocks

jenifleur | September 21, 2007

When nobody else was able to do it [and not for lack of trying!] Kim brought The Yarn Harlot to Atlanta. She got a theater, she organized raffles and other donation opportunities for Knitters Without Borders [donate $5 and get a free beer or wine!], she had friendly and helpful staff and volunteers. From my [...]

Hey, Kim? There’s nothing to see here, go take a nap.

This Hobby Gets More Obsessive All The Time

jenifleur | September 19, 2007

Today is a local fiber holiday. The Yarn Harlot is coming to the south east, finally. Hundreds of people are skipping work-or half a day of it anyway. My group is meeting at a tavern near there at 11:00 a.m. for lunch and an afternoon of knitting that will last late into the night. They [...]

Happy Days Are Here Again

jenifleur | September 17, 2007

It’s over! The pure Evil of the GA 2007 Summer has been thwarted. On Saturday, I was driving around at work and I felt a breeze come through the car windows. A breeze that didn’t suck the will to live right out of me. A breeze that cooled my skin. Later that day, I was [...]

Friday Floof

jenifleur | September 14, 2007

It’s lovely and rainy, cool [getting down to the 50s now at night!] and I’m sitting in a room with leaky wool fumes. I’m also high on freshly finished knitting, diet coke and white cheddar popcorn. Remaining upright and typing is, as I’m sure you’ll agree, a challenge. Today, therefore, will be a miscellany. *My [...]

Warning Wednesday

jenifleur | September 12, 2007

My horoscope for today: The nutty antics of the people around you doesn’t seem to be coming off as odd to anyone but you today — and you might think you’re the one who’s not getting it. But in fact, everyone else is as just as confused and bewildered as you. They’re just looking for [...]

If Knitters Built Treehouses

jenifleur | September 10, 2007

First, and quickly, I give you progress reports, but then we move on to a new online store and then if you stick around, I have pictures of the happiest place on earth. And I don’t mean mouse ears. Ribby Cardi has a completed back and about 1/3 of the left front now. Here’s the [...]
