I know, I'm a day late. There were sleep issues and updates to worry about, but I didn't forget, I promise. Translation on Flickr! Can you tell I was hungry when I wrote this one? We're still looking to adopt a pug- happily, the one boy we went to meet today was returned [...]

Haitian Relief Auction
"My own experience and development deepen everyday my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy." -George Eliot Haiti's recent misfortunes are hard to write about; how do you even begin to get a mental grip on suffering at such a scale? [...]

oh my coldness
It is freezing out here. Literally. FREEZING. This was our rinse water at the Baltimore studio today. Cacie and I went out to the barn this morning to fetch tools; we just stood there, staring at our frozen bins of water, rather in shock. This isn't even the worst month of winter- we [...]

a quick peek
It's been a good week- decent weather, a fair amount of yarn and lots of rovings dyed up- and a ton of laughter. Exhibit A: Baltimore Elf Corrine with a merino- silk Fu Manchu. Exhibit B: Baltimore Elf Cacie with her hands of blue. I wish I had a photo [...]

on the lines, this afternoon
Also this gorgeous soaker skein of Kypria; completely unrepeatable, this was a blank skein that caught extra dye from all of last week's work, and it's very, very unlikely to ever leave my house. Look at those fall, maple-ish colours! Love love love love LOVE.

in which I am a slacker (but a slacker who finishes things!)
Sadly, I didn't make it to SAFF, opting instead to spend the week in emergency rooms and doctors' offices. It's no big thing- more medications, more tests, more bother- but I got a fair amount of knitting done, knitting myself a hat, converting new and lapsed knitters in waiting rooms, and finishing woefully neglected [...]

where I was a Flower of the mountain
Well, the poll was pretty definitive; fingering- weight sweaters are out. Not that I won't be making them, or possibly even designing them for others, but as of this morning, it's 80% for sport weight, so I've been swatching in Bugga!- which, while listed in Ravelry as a fingering weight is really more of [...]

decisions, decisions
I'm sketching out my final ideas for a sweater I've been chewing over for months- until recently, the only things I'd been 100% certain of were that there would probably be an empire waist and that I would knit it in a deep, sensual red. I've finally got a real image of it [...]

Today was my woodturning class at Mark Supik and Company. I've been looking forward to this class ever since I found a pamphlet for their knitter's tools class on the Spinster corkboard a few months back. The studio is amazing- great space, and the smell of all that wood is just magical. Mark and his [...]

our big adventure
We are starting here… … and headed here… …and this is how we're getting there. That poor van is nearly bursting with yarn, people. It is madness. Heaven help the trooper that wants to search this van. We leave tomorrow morning, bright and early, with six days and about 2800 miles of adventure ahead of [...]
