Caturday: British Bakes

We have brand new kittens so I’m a little tired. Forgive me if this is a mess. Anyway, this isn’t about those kittens. This is about the previous kittens. The British Bakes. We got a request for fostering a mama with three 6 day old kittens back in the beginning of February. We hadn’t been…

I’ve been busy…

Sorry for the long absence, my life mildly blew up for a while. First I tried to go low carb and crashed HARD without the happy carbs in my system and totally lost my crafting mojo. Then we picked up kittens and a mama cat to foster and that took a lot of time and…

2020: A Year of FOs

It’s finally over. The nightmare that was 2020. Despite it all I got 16 knitting projects and 7 spinning projects done this year. However, I had a 6 month period in the middle when I finished absolutely nothing as far as knitting goes. There was a bit of spinning finishes but that’s it. I blame…

FO Friday: Primary Colors

I finished the combo drafted primary colors yarn! It’s a true 3 ply, I had three bobbins so I just went for it. It was my first try at 3 ply yarn and it went smoothly. Also my first try at combo drafting, which took a bit to get the hang of. It means taking…

I’m Back!

I’m not dead! I just sort of wanted to be for a bit there. If you’re wondering why I didn’t post at all last week or respond much to comments it’s not because I forgot about you, it’s because I had a migraine that lasted for 8 days. It’s really hard to write anything remotely…

Felt-A-Thon: Tiny Bits

The penguin is nearly finished, all it needs now are eyes! That was a bit of a stumbling block for me though. From all the pictures I have seen of Emperor Penguins, their eyes seem to be invisible. Google it. I dare you to find those elusive penguin eyeballs. Even so, leaving the penguin eye-less…

Not How I Intended to Spend My Day

I just spent nine hours cropping photos. Nine hours. NINE. HOURS. I had other plans for today, but no. Cropping happened. The good news is, I managed to do this without the slightest twinge in my hands! I’d tell you all about how I did that, but I’ve seriously had way too much computer time…

WIP-Cracking Wednesday: The Black Hole

Ok, so I admit to procrastinating on the blog a bit lately. I had good intentions, honest! I kept telling myself “Hey wouldn’t it be great if I typed up my next WIP post early so I don’t end up forgetting about it when Wednesday rolls around?” So I would try to think of what…

I’m giving thanks a day late this year.

While most people will be out participating in the bloodsport that is Black Friday, I will be knitting. There is a Black Friday KAL in the Canon Hand Dyes group on Ravelry, and I am planning on making two pairs of socks. One pair for me, and one pair for my boyfriend. I am extremely thankful…
