Well despite the fact that March is for WIPS, I did cast on something new this weekend. In the past I have challenged myself to learn new techniques with some hand-dyed skeins of yarn. Of late, I have been very inspired by Wenat and her pooling stoles. You can see that I experimented with pooling [...]
Why hello there!
Thanks to my six die hard followers who keep up with me even when I’m less than faithful about posting. You’d think nothing noteworthy was happening, but well, that’s just not true! Summer is in full swing here and (shhh don’t tell anyone I said it) the last few days have been GORGEOUS. Warm but [...]
Kiri
I realize that as of late I haven’t really been updating. I don’t know whether it’s the summer heat (for the past week we’ve been in the 110+ range with heat index) or that I’m just spending so much time engrossed in my knitting and Ravelry, that I don’t feel I have much of interest [...]
That’s Entertainment!
So I actually have finished not one, but TWO projects this week. The gloomy skies and occasional torrential rain have made photographs impossible, however, so you’ll have to content yourself with your imaginations today. Instead I’ll write about a few entertaining things I’ve been into lately. First off, I’m VERY VERY late to the podcast-listening [...]
Back in the swing.
So I had been delaying posting because I wanted to post some great pictures of my newest finished object. However, the weather hasn’t been cooperating (it’s the Midwest, who’s surprised?) so I’m back with projects and all sorts of reviews (books, movies, etc.) First things first. This past weekend I finished my first big lace [...]
Some Assembly Required
I’m keeping busy crafting for the holidays over here and absolutely NONE of it is bloggable since it’s all gifty goodness. So instead I’ll talk about what I’ve been reading and watching. On the way out to Los Angeles, Wes suggested that I pick up a copy of Twilight. (It turns out some airport shops [...]
And here comes round 3.
The big news of this weekend (well Thursday and Friday) is that I have now progressed to Round 3 of job interviewing. That means that on Thursday of this coming week I will be meeting with a whole new set of potential colleagues and bosses, including the president and CEO of the company. Let’s hope [...]
The deadliest read.
A while ago a friend of mine hooked me up with LibraryThing, a site for avid readers and bibliophiles. Aside from great book reviews, and being able to list your collection of books, the site hosts an Early Reviewers feature. Each month LibraryThing receives a few hundred early review advance copies of books, and you [...]
Late to the party.
Back when the Harry Potter books first came out, everyone was all atwitter and engrossed in the adventures. I saw the movies and thought they were entertaining. I even picked up books 1-4 on sale and sat down to try and read them. But I got stuck in the juvenalia of books 1 and 2, [...]
Positively HILARIOUS
I decided to take a short break from the heavier non-fiction I’ve been delving into last week, and picked up a copy of Tony Hawks’ Playing the Moldovans at Tennis. I first learned about Tony Hawks some years ago during an NPR interview he did during the launch of his book Traveling ‘Round Ireland With [...]
