I’ve not been online much…
2 August 2008… but I’ve certainly been knitting. I almost feel like I’ve come back to it after a short hiatus; that’s not the case, but I did have a few weeks where all I knit were reverse mitred square dishcloths.
Most of the knitting has been design-related. Nothing earth-shattering, of course, but I’m still eager […]
Still no needles, but a hook (and some project lust).
24 February 2008I should be able to knit again by the end of the week. Hooray! For now, I’m being grateful that I crochet “wrong”; I hold both the yarn and the hook in my right hand, so all my left hand has to do is hang on to the crocheted fabric. My left […]
Sunday Evening Rambles
6 May 2007It’s warm and sunny with a cool breeze, I’m not at work, I cast off a small project, and I woke up with purring tikkies snuggled up with me in bed. All in all, the beginnings of a good day.
That small project was a skinny sideways scarf I knit while watching The Prestige last […]
Points and points.
1 May 200701. I want a t-shirt that says “They are not the hell your whales”, just to see how many people would get it. Also, the Space Network was kind to me a day ago and showed “The City on the Edge of Forever” and “Yesterday’s Enterprise”. One right after another, even! […]
Yarn, music, books, nerding, and pets.
13 March 2007I think I just summed up my whole life in that subject line.
The socks-that-shall-not-be-named are done, therefore I’ve started Waving Lace from Favorite Socks. I’ve only had time to do the scalloped cuff and about an inch of pattern on the first sock, so it’ll be a while yet. I’ve also restarted my […]
Point form!
12 November 200601. Loreena McKennit’s new album, An Ancient Muse, is gorgeous. Her voice is incredible, as always, and I love the Eastern influences in some of the new material. I’m particularly in love with Incantation. As well, I can hear the same drums in Kecharitomene as her version of God Rest Ye […]
Morning morning.
29 October 2006I’m a morning person. I love the time of day when the sun’s not risen, and all you can see is a smudge of lightening along the horizon. It’s a certain lovely type of quiet, one that differs from late at night when everyone’s gone to sleep.
My internal clock likes to wake me […]
Just the usual rambling.
10 October 2006I ended up diving into the DVD collection after all last night, because A&E’s version of a marathon was showing the same three episodes over and over. I watched two Harry Potter movies, The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire, neither of which I’ve seen for a couple of months and both […]
Oo, marathon.
9 October 2006I turned on the TV this morning to find something to watch while I finished that gift I’d mentioned, and after Winnie the Pooh was over (shut up) I discovered that A&E is having a CSI: Miami marathon of sorts today. I don’t know when it started, but it’s on straight through until ten […]
Ramble ramble ramble.
21 September 2006The dizziness has come down to a mostly-manageable level and I’m due back at work tomorrow. I left the house this morning for the first time in several days, to pick up the paycheque and take a short trip through a couple of shops.
Of course, we had to go see the big new store […]
Photos, etc.
22 July 2006I managed to take a rare photo of my girls together this evening.
Bonsai’s the little tuxedo, and Shadow’s the all-black Siamese-ish girl. I took a few solo shots of them, too:
Two more, just for the hell of it.
Stevie, who is just sleepy instead of murderous.
A substandard photo of one of my Australian Rainbowfish. […]
Rambles and whatnot.
18 July 2006I’m so restless I could scratch myself out of my own skin. Comes from more than a week of being housebound, I suppose–I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gotten to leave the house in the past nine days. I haven’t even gotten as much done knitting-wise and writing-wise […]
