Seeing as it’s pretty damn integral to… everyone, I thought I’d share what I learned today.
I don’t have much of a thirst, really. I rarely get thirsty at all, but when I do, I then usually guzzle way too much water and end up with a distended tummy. Very mature, I know. So, in [...]

Yep, I’m at it again, and it’s going so well!
When I first started spinning up the Dorset wool, I was really fighting it too much. You’ve got to take a much gentler approach than I had realised. I sort of got this with the silk, but it’s making so much more sense with the roving [...]
I don’t enjoy blocking. I suppose that’s why I’m putting it off…
I feel nauseous right now, for no apparent reason, so I don’t have to feel bad for not doing it right now, but anyway. I’ve got two projects done that need to be blocked. In fact, one of them, a scar for my fiancé, [...]
When looking through poncho patterns on Ravelry earlier, I realised that you’d have to straight up admit you’re a dork if you were to wear many of them.
I’ll preface this post by saying: If you’re a knitter or wear the projects of knitters, and you’ve made or wear one a garment based on one [...]
At least, that’s what I’ve found.
So, the weather has warmed. The cats like to sit in the yard because the weather has warmed. This means they’re sitting in grass. Grass where, according to the vet, fleas breed. Then the cats bring the fleas in, and then they’re in the carpet, and then I have to [...]
My pattern is now live on Ravelry! Nearly 50 people have favourited, and around 20 have it queued!
When I made up my pattern, it was so basic that I thought it almost didn’t really count as a pattern. I got the idea based off of another pattern, and just turned that motif into a [...]
I’m in two swaps at the moment, and I’m running a little late with both of them…
I’m in two on Ravelry, one based on favourite colour, and one based on my favourite items. What you do with the colour one is; you email in your favourite colour along with your address and perhaps a little [...]
And I even found a nice little surprise!
Today my fiancé said that he’d like a new book. So we found one he wanted to read, book one in the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson in this case, called The Final Empire, and I called round and found it in a local book store. So [...]
I’ve finished my first batch of handspun silk!
I was tempted to try out the silk sample for ages after I got my drop spindle, but I already had the Dorset wool sample going on the blue rhodochrosite and lignum vitae spindle, so I got out the Llanite and rosewood spindle and started the [...]
