This is for the other Julie McC. (yes, I used to be one too), who is having trouble with a cable increase that I had trouble with recently. They tell you to knit into the front and back of a stitch and then find the vertical strand below it and knit into that. Wha….? I… Continue reading Funny Cable Increase — For Julie

Me 'n' The Yarn Harlot in Philly!
So I finally got to see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee! You have to understand I’ve been reading this woman’s blog for over two years and have been trying to get to see her for almost as long. Each time she has come to the area it has been a more-than-an-hour’s drive away and something has come up… Continue reading Me 'n' The Yarn Harlot in Philly!

I LOVE Writing!
I love writing! I don’t know how I could have forgotten this, because it was all I ever really loved to do as a child (apart from reading, of course. And to a slightly lesser extent playing music). But I just LOVE writing. I’ve been carving out time here and there to work on my… Continue reading I LOVE Writing!
Learning To Live at Long-Distance
This post is in response to Blog-Friend Spit-up-and-Stiletto’s wonderful post today, lamenting the fact that her younger sister is moving to New Mexico, which is not much closer than my family is to me. And they belong to a whole other continent. She wants to know where the transporters are. Well, S&S, I can only… Continue reading Learning To Live at Long-Distance
Starting Projects
A week or two ago I had one, (count it!) ONE work in progress. OK, there are probably a few things in the back of the cupboard that are unfinished but I don’t consider them works in progress since, for that, there would have to be some, well, progress. So I was working away on… Continue reading Starting Projects
Over It
It’s been an up and down kind of morning. But it’s official, I’m out of Sock Wars. I was SOOOOO disappointed, having been SOOOO excited. But I think I’m over it now. And I’ve just cast on a design I like much better than the Sock of Doom and I’m keeping them for myself. I’m… Continue reading Over It

I’m having a bit of a bad morning. I’ve been really looking forward to Sock Wars III. It’s a silly game where you knit a pair of socks to ‘kill’ your victim with, then they send you their socks and you proceed to knit away and try to kill their victim too, and so on… Continue reading 70272
Fave Pic So Far and a Worry
This is a great picture of someone’s weaponry. AND it turns out there was an email yesterday that I didn’t get until this morning (my fault) that said to make sure you had registered fully. I don’t remember choosing a nom de guerre or entering my shoe size (which is not to say I didn’t… Continue reading Fave Pic So Far and a Worry

The yarn and I are ready.
