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 [...]
I want the perfect yarn, you know?
I knit a fair bit these days. Not all the time, and I’m certainly not a fast knitter, but I do do a fair amount of knitting.
One issue that keeps coming up is the fact that I never seem to have the right yarn for the right project. [...]
This is what my teeth are teaching me, anyway.
So, I’ve still got the flu. I’m suffering with that. My fiancé is too; We both feel like crap. I’ve got the coughing going on, whilst he’s got the runny nose going on, and we both are staying inside as much as possible.
Last weekend my tooth [...]
What’s that now?

I’m sorry but what?
So, I’m a bit of a gamer. Well, I like to game a lot, really, but I find that my free time is more often dedicated to crafting than gaming, and that way I can watch my fiancé game, so it’s all good.
Anyway, I jumped on to IGN to check out [...]
I ran across a very nice work of knitting related fiction on a Ravelry forum the other day, and I thought I’d share it here.
So, there I was reading stuff on Ravelry, as I do most days. A post written by a lady who’d written two short stories about Lilly Eiderdown and Roscoe Entwhistle, and [...]
