Luna & Chris enjoying the remnants of a day at the cottage So I’ve been MIA from the blogosphere yet again but for good reason. Firstly, I’ve been migrating to a new laptop which hast taken some time to get my Aperture library moved (and to learn Aperture 3, which has been completely overhauled from version [...] Remember that luscious yarn I mentioned last week? Oatmeal hat I bought this yarn after Adria requested a hat to match a scarf she ordered from Organic Lifestyle. Even though Adria’s birthday isn’t until Valentine’s Day, I finished the hat on Monday night, so I took it over with me to her house on Tuesday since we [...] No I’m not talking about the puppy, although all those adjectives could be easily used to describe her too. I’m talking here about some gorgeous new yarn that arrived in the mail today, destined to become a birthday gift for a certain Ecoholic. Handspun merino by Off the Hooks's Ashley Marcus in Alberta This handspun [...] Tiffany mittens I started these mittens back in May, of all months, and finished the right mitten all in one weekend at the cottage. But then I just never got around to knitting the second one, until after Christmas. I wanted a compact knitting project to take with me on our trip to Ottawa [...] Big Digger Sweater I finished this sweater about a month ago but I didn’t want to post it online until it was gifted. It turned out pretty great except there is one little twisted stitch right in the front, a couple rows below the digger’s tracks. Boo. I didn’t even see it until I [...] Hello Interweb, I’m still here! I’ve just been kinda busy. Work is all consuming these days, but, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Squishy Sharp Centre Yesterday I put in about 17 hours at the office, starting at 5:30 in the morning and going until about 10:30 at night, all in the name of [...] It’s time for an FO (finished object, for all you non-knitters who read this site)! The forever scarf I started this scarf A FULL YEAR AGO, when I was off work recovering from my surgery. It’s knitted with the South West Trading Company Pure soy silk yarn, which is luxuriously soft and plied in three lovely colours [...] Cupcakes and a donut One of the small knitting projects I’ve been doing periodically over the last few weeks are knitted cupcakes. I originally started making them one night before going to visit an out of town friend, hoping to give them to her daughter, but I only got one done, and it seemed weird to [...] TMC/Ottawa crafty haul I finally made some headway in addressing a backlog of Ravelry stash updates, and downloaded about 4Gs of photos into Aperture over the last couple evenings. The photos are from all sorts of events and happenings, but I’ve been extraordinarily negligent lately of managing my Ravelry stuff, which is very unlike me. Have [...] Well I managed to get some knitting done this past weekend, at the cottage, where it got down to MINUS THREE DEGREES on Sunday night. Sheesh. I was freaking out about my tomatoes at home because even Toronto had a risk of frost. Thankfully I was able to reach someone with a key to move my [...] |
