I love getting presents for my fiancé!
So, where to start, where to start. I know that I can get him some lovely books, and of course a 360 game, but in addition to those things that he might expect, I want to get him something unexpected that he’ll love! I’ll also be knitting him [...]

I’m just so tired of being poor!
The majority of the world would like a little more than they have right now, in terms of money. I mean, it’s not like I want to be ridiculously rich, though that would be great, but I would really like to be financially comfortable. You know, that nice level [...]
That’s not an entirely rhetorical question there.
My fiancé and I are pretty happy with our phone service, and we’ve even got a nice cordless phone, rather than the BT phone that was in the house when we got here. The range of services offered by our current provider are certainly better than some! See [...]
My fiancé and I were thinking about driving lessons, but there’s so much to consider.
So, we both don’t know how to drive yet, so if we were to consider getting our licences, then we’d have to take driving lessons. We don’t have anyone who could teach us, so it would be paid lessons all [...]
I’ve got two more items to block out… Blegh
Many knitters seem to have seaming. They’ll knit up an item that’s so much larger than anything I’ve ever knit that I feel like a big noob, and then they say on the forums or to me personally that they hate seaming and the garment will take [...]
It’s just too much, sometimes. It really is.
Since getting the flu, or a really nasty cold, I’m not sure which, my asthma has been really bad. I suppose I never really thought of my asthma being particularly serious or even a real issue, but it’s sort of making me realise that it is indeed [...]
My purse would certainly appreciate that.
So, I was knitting up the MidWinter Wanderer and… well… my gauge was just too tight so it was coming out far too small. Then when I realised I had to go up needle sizes to a 6mm, I knew I’d run into trouble. My 6mm circular needle was [...]
Wow, a game with yarn! And it’s a Kirby game with yarn!!!
I remember when I was a little girl, one of the things I would do when I went to stay with my aunt was use their gaming consoles. I had a Sega Mastersystem II at home, but they had a Nintendo! And a Super [...]
Well that’s irritating!
Isn’t it frustrating when you’re half way through a project, or in this case two, and then you find that your overlocker just ran out of thread? It’s really damn frustrating to me, because a regular spool of cotton will be gone in no time on an overlocker, so now I’ve got to [...]
Do you know what that is?
Spend five minutes on the forums at Ravelry and you’ll see it. The ubiquitous thread about yarn snobbery. Yarn snobbery, for those who don’t know, as I didn’t know up until I spent some time on said forums, is the refusal by many knitters and crocheters to use any yarn [...]
