So, my mom called…

and asked if I’d moved the blog somewhere else and was chatting over there.  No, I promise, I’ve just been beyond lazy about updating lately.  I”m not avoiding you mom.    You’re so funny!
I had a poopy head cold this weekend and I’ve got class in downtown Vancouver tomorrow and Tuesday so this will [...]

Love me some lazy Saturday on the couch

**note**this was supposed to be posted yesterday but Flickr and I are having issues.  Actually, based on the forum posts, a lot of people are having some problems with Flickr.  Grrrrr
Heya!  How’s it going?  It’s so nice to be on a computer for purely non school or work related activities!  Wanna see some stuff?  Excellent.
First [...]

Friday, Friday, let’s sing the song of Friday!

There was a moment there, I think it was about 2:30 on Wednesday, where I didn’t think I was going to make it to the weekend.  It was a new moon on Tuesday, (sorry, not quite close enough to sing Duran Duran), and the callers to my office were um, very energetic and agitated.  Always [...]

Button, Button

I finished something!  Whoo hoo!  Two completed projects in one month, amazing.  The knitting is done, the ends woven in, it’s washed & blocked.  All that is left is to choose its buttons.  The finished object is my February Lady sweater.  Started last August as part of Ravelympics.  Needless to say, did not finish in [...]

A week of finishes

Tomorrow is my final exam and I’m pretty darn pleased about that.  Because I’m confident I’ll do well and it was an enjoyable course?  Because I’ve learned so much that I feel I can take the criminological world by storm?  I’ve finally decided what my major should be?
No, not really.  It’s because tomorrow, approximately 5 [...]

Hi, my name is Stella!

You may remember me from such fiascos as dog decorates yard with 750 yards of Kauni:

Or dog decorates the yard with 500 yards of pretty Ebay sock yarn:

I hope you’ll enjoy my newest endeavor – Stella kills a skein of Malabrigo:

She’s a one trick pony is my Stella.  I got it back to sort of [...]

Wow, this whole movement of time thing is killing me

Huh, almost Thursday again.  I’m sensing a pattern here. 
I’ve started working on my last two papers of the semester and they are going pretty good so far.  I haven’t started studying for the final yet.  I’ll leave that for another week or so.  For some insane reason I did join a knit along [...]

Bit of a mish mash

Lot’s to see, lot’s to see!  I’ve been trying to make February about finishing stuff.  To that end, we have a hat:

Knit and Tonic’s Last Minute Purled Beret (.pdf).  Super fast and I’m rather liking it.  I usually look like a dork in a hat but this one is okay.  Plus, it’s wicked warm and [...]

Getting it done

During this, the darkest month, some knitters and I had made an agreement to get some unfinished objects over the finish line.  This post, unfortunately, is not one of those items, but it is still a finished item and I’m really rather enamored with it.  Really, it’s got everything you could want.  Noro Silk Garden [...]

Drumroll please

Here I am actually wearing a finished object:

Ta Da!  I love this sweater.  I’ve worn it at least four times since I finished it.  This shot was taken after last weeks yarn store sale.  We needed some coffee/tea/sustenance to help us carry home our weighty bags of yarny goodness.  Bit of a double chin there [...]
