I’m Still Alive

www.helloyarn.com17 commentsSocialRank

It’s probably about time I post here, since people have been emailing, wondering if I am still alive. I am, but my work/craft life has certainly been taking a backseat lately. I can’t think straight enough to knit…

Bulldozer Wanted

Remember a while back when I put up pictures of my workspace? I’m not going to do that today. I can’t, because at this moment I can’t see my workspace. What Vesuvius did to Pompeii, a month of heavy travel has done to…

Not a post about the price of gas

Because I work at home, people often ask me, “Don’t you have problems disciplining yourself”?Not in the morning. In the morning I’m all fresh and clear headed and annoyingly cheerful. And sometimes I even feel like…

Celebrating my birth

Introducing Espada

**Very picture heavy post** To bring you up to speed, here’s a little backstory. So, without further ado - the KB5 is finished! Well, all but the flatbed (I’ll save that for another post).1949 International KB5…

Magnolia is a dear friend of mine whom I positively adore. We met at the Black Sheep Knitters club in Jensen Beach. She is a fine Southern Woman of excellent taste and has the coldest feet known to mankind. Naturally, I…

I Have An Irrational Love Of Tea Cozies

bronsfiberstuff.typepad.com9 commentsSocialRank

Just seeing a cozy popped on a pot conjures images of the gentle patter of rain on a mossy cottage; mist-shrouded moors; warm and welcoming kitchens with a bit of bread and jam to go with that tea, please.Everyone once…

Forms of transformation.

Well, I’m a big ball of sweat. This weekend was all about the slow transformation of my basement. I expect the next week will be as well, as slow seems to be the operative word. The TV/reading/knitting space in my house…

I've throughly enjoyed Jean's Nihon Vogue certificate program and  I'm sad that there is only one class left. I'd love to take the next year but it's a huge time commitment that's been difficult…

Colinette JitterBug, 100% merino wool, moss colorway (#75). The stitch definition is absolutely remarkable. A tightly spun, cord like yarn will do that: knit itself into stacked columns of yarn beads. Does that mean the…

A Beautiful Mess

An early flight is one thing; after all, I’ve had flights at 6 AM before but couple that with a very small regional jet, a seat mate who both doesn’t adhere to the boundaries of the 14-inch seat and insists on bathing…

Happy Pride

It's Pride Week here in Toronto, and it all culminates today in a huge parade downtown. The Toronto Pride Parade is massive, and there's no fun like it anywhere. Where else can you see the Mayor, the Chief of…

Low-Key

That was the theme for the weekend. So low-key, in fact, that I didn’t do much of anything.I did do a bit of knitting on my new sock-in-progress:I’m calling this design “Einkorn Socks” because I think the design…

january one: Knitblogs

Okay - so maybe I exaggerate. And maybe the discussion of knitblogs being dead only occurs between Ann and I on a semi regular basis. And sure, things do slow down in the summer. BUT, and this is MY OPINION (although…
