It’s A Beautiful Day

And yet I've been stuck inside with a headache all day. It's been a rough few days (thanks, Murphy) that I'm still paying for, but hopefully, I'll get to enjoy the nice weather later this week. I did finally manage to get some knitting in yesterday and actually have a picture to show progress for …

Oh.. Sunday again? Already?

No really, again? Already? What's up with time flying by like this? Hubby finished playing God of War and moved on to play Horizon. I have to say, the game is amazing. The graphics are incredible and the story... wow. Of course, while he's been playing, I've been knitting - when I've felt up for …

I know, I know

It's getting way too warm to work on a blanket, but I can't help myself. It's such a simple knit and I can just about handle working on it, both from a spoon-level as well as heat level. Also, it makes it much easier to be able to follow along as hubby plays God of …

Sunday Again?

How is it Sunday again already? It feels like it was Sunday only yesterday... Okay, maybe not yesterday, but certainly not seven days ago. I can't even say "time flies when you're having fun" because this week hasn't been a lot of fun, by and large. It's been painful and exhausting (yay weather messing with …

Of Toes and Encoded.

Yes, yes, I know that I haven't gotten very far with my socks (and made no progress on my blanket), but still, I have toes! Well, I finished the toe-section of the socks. You know what I mean. I was actually surprised to find that the yarn is striping. When I got it I hadn't …

Power Up!

So the last few days I've been without my computer because my power chord decided it didn't want to work anymore (of course, this happens just as my coverage ends). At least, I hoped it was the power chord, so I ordered a new one that arrived a little bit ago and lo and behold! …

I’ll Take a Break for 100, Alex

My hot water bottle is my friend today to battle cramps. Yep, it's that time again (which also explains why I've been flaring this week on top of everything). I did manage a little bit of knitting, though. Not much, but at least I've changed colors. Slow but steady wins the race, right? I'm hoping …

Well Shucks

Otherwise known as: how my sweater blanket ended up becoming an actual blanket. I done screwed the pooch and messed up the size of this thing so rather than frogging it and trying again, I'm just winging it and turning it into a blanket. It wasn't what the yarn was intended for (okay, it was, …

Mayday?

So basically this past week has consisted of three things: Reading Rough Trade stories as they are published (which I'm loving, by the way. There's some awesome stuff coming out of RT this round). Binging Supernatural and knitting. I'm liking it so far, Supernatural. Okay, a little more than like, but not quite at 'love' …

Turning Back Time

So have you remembered to turn the clock back an hour? For once, I did. Before I went to bed. Yep, might be a record 😉 So I didn't cast on for my sweater yet. Haven't really been up for it. I did however cast on something else. Either a blanket or a blanket sweater, depending …
