Great Towering Textiles

1. I would like to bake something, as that used to be something I did of a holiday. 2. I would like to get the oil changed in the car, as ...

I am sick of grading. I must take breaks to be more fair-minded. I have a crazy case of startitis lurking in the wings. I started nibbling ...

I'd taken these progress photos during my brief stint of daily blog posting. At the time, I actually had a statement to make. Some of i...

I might finish that shawl within the week. It's getting close enough to the end of the yarn that I'm obsessing. I can see the end...

I zipped out a shrug for my niece. Big talk earlier: I did tentative swatching but finally and only started yesterday morning. I'm of...

Yes, that half month of daily posting was all well and good. Clearly the maxims about needing to do something for 30 days to establish a ha...

I love a good cliche. From more southern climes than here: "just too mean to live" as a description of a particularly nasty excu...

Posting regularly has been a mighty fine exercise. I intend to be sticking with it as best I can. Thanksgiving holiday weekend might prove...

Sometimes you just need to knit and tune out. These 1 x 1 ribbed scarves in yarns with long color changes have been hitting the internet zon...

But mostly I'm tired. This is how old I am: Last year or the year before someone passed around a link on the knittyboard in which you c...
