I’m a little late in getting this up and running. I actually missed Day 1, which will be rectified. Day Two: 29th March. Skill + 1UP Look back over your last year of projects and compare where you are in terms of skill and knowledge of your craft to this time last year. Have you learned […]
Day One: 28th March. A Tale of Two Yarns. Part of any fibre enthusiast’s hobby is an appreciation of yarn. Choose two yarns that you have either used, are in your stash or which you yearn after and capture what it is you love or loathe about them. Tips: It is a good idea, if […]
I’ve kinda wrapped WIP Wednesday and the Stringchronicity Podcast into one great big gooey package today. Today, we’re going video! If you’re seeing the W with the bouncing star, you’re on the right track. Give the video a little time to load. Show notes will be forthcoming once I’ve had a few minutes to get […]
I’m reading a new book that I picked up called “talking to girls about duran duran” by Rob Sheffield. It appears to be a kind of memoir, with different songs punctuating different parts of the author’s life. I will admit that this strikes a chord with me. I think we all have soundtracks to our […]
Listen Here! I know it’s been about 3 weeks since the last podcast, but I think I mentioned why a while ago in a blog post. Needless to say, we have a new one! I mention that I *did* actually do some recording, even if a podcast wasn’t actually released. I also throw in the […]
I never actually posted up any kind of pictures of the Noro Two-Row Shawl as a Finished Object. That is mainly because the one time I tried, it was with my cell phone camera, and it was less than breathtaking. Let’s just say I gave it another try: What we have here is a failure […]
My Google Reader category for “Knitterly” contains feeds for 89 knitting blogs. It’s gotten to the point where I have at least 20 or more posts to read on a daily basis. I’m a great lurker. I’m not the best at commenting, though I *am* working on that. I constantly add new blogs to the […]
Another WIP Wednesday! Things are continuing. The February Lady Sweater has pretty much gone back into procrastinatory hibernation (but will likely be pulled out when the whim strikes). The design-socks are still being kept away from cameras, and that leaves two things. Two?! Yes. Two. A Shawl! Well…whatever it is, it’s sure a bright pink. […]
I’m not going to lie and get all wishy-washy about the month coming to a close. February and I have been at odds for a couple of decades now, so I’m not going to be too heartbroken about it ending. Yeah, you heard me, February. Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way […]
Some folks may have noticed that it has been awhile since I uploaded a podcast. I actually recorded last Friday…and then wussed right out on the editing part (see, this is why giving me new tools can be a detriment to productivity). I also realized that the podcast was rather rambly, and we don’t need […]
