Here’s a quick WIP Wednesday for a Leap Day: First of all, I have re-cast-on for the Susana IC Mystery Shawl. It’s been named, but I’m not where I can access Ravelry and remind myself of the real name at the moment. So the Mystery Shawl it will remain for now. However, since the final [...]

Today’s Ten on Tuesday we have a choice! We can either write 10 Thoughts On This Year’s Oscars, or — my choice — 10 New Movies I Want To See. It was a no-brainer for me, since I didn’t keep up with the Oscars. I don’t think I saw any of the movies nominated for [...]

I received a promo code for an iPhone app called ✄ Yarn U ✄ a little while ago. It’s taken me some time to feel I truly had a feel for the app, and whether it was right for me, hence the delay in posting a review. However, I’ve come to my decision about it. While the [...]

There are lots of projects in the works for me, but this past week saw two get more time spent on them than any of the others: the Babette blanket and the February Fetchings. Both are fun, though one will be done this week while the other may not be finished for years. I’ll let [...]

Today’s Ten on Tuesday prompt is “10 tips for writing a great letter.” I’m guessing this has something to do with the Month of Letters Challenge, but since I’m not a part of that challenge I’m not going to comment on it. (I could be, nearly. I write a lot of snail mail these days.) [...]

I have heard it said that 5 things make a blog post. So, here are my five things for today: 1. I love scrapbooking. Lately I’ve been doing the digital version of it, for multiple reasons. Chief among these reasons are that my photos are all digital and this way I don’t have to print [...]

Remember when I told you about frogging the alpaca mystery shawl and starting over? Well, there’s another project I’m starting over, too. I decided after working a little bit on the scarf for my niece that I didn’t like it. The pattern was fine, don’t get me wrong. But it was a Serious Scarf, and [...]

Today’s 10 in Tuesday topic is favorite chocolate treats. Yum. I’ll just dive right in, shall I? 1. See’s bordeaux. Milk, dark, doesn’t matter. 2. Chocolate fudge (hot) on an ice cream sundae. 3. After Eight mints. 4. Hot chocolate (the drink), without the yucky marshmallows. 5. See’s Chelsea (or is it Beverly? or both?) [...]

There comes a time in every knitter’s life when she realizes it: she made an error. A big one. And she doesn’t know how to fix it. It’s time for a trip to the frog pond. It’s hard to do. Especially when the knitting is beaded alpaca lace. The alpaca likes to stay knitted, and [...]

A chance comment on Mrs. Pao’s blog the other day gave me the urge to cast on a new knitting project. (I know. It doesn’t always take much.) She mentioned Fetchings for February, and well, I had to knit some. You know how it goes. So I pulled some yarn out of the stash, and [...]
