psammeadred's blog: July 2008

http://psammeadred.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 26, 2008. Colors, colors, and more colors. In the knitting guild, we have swap meets twice a year. Last March, I got several balls of someone's handspun. It's going to be a striped scarf. I love how different brown yarns can be! Here's a finished (-ish) object from the Malabrigo Magic Yarn Ball swap. Pattern: A Touch of Whimsy scarf. Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted, in Water Green (1 ball). Needles: US 8. I used the Brittany needles Katy sent me, and they're lovely! Here it is drying in my bathtub.

psammeadred's blog: It's been a while.

http://psammeadred.blogspot.com/2010/01/its-been-while.html

Saturday, January 30, 2010. It's been a while. And by "a while," I mean about eight months. Wow. A lot has happened in that eight months! On the personal front. 1 I bought my first home. Kind of scary, but good at the same time. Now I can put yarn WHEREVER I WANT! Of course, a mortgage cuts into the yarn budget a bit, but the feat of moving all my yarn convicted me a bit of how much yarn I actually have. Quite a bit - including a bunch that I'd forgotten. 2 I survived my first blizzard! This is a simple ...

Friday, May 08, 2009. I'm not dead.  My computer, on the other hand.R.I.P. little laptop.  You served me faithfully for six years, needing only a hard drive and CD drive change three years ago.  But alas, it is cheaper to replace you with a desktop than to kit you out again. My new computer should be here today (! And boy, do I have some fun new toys to show all  three or so of you who read this! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

psammeadred's blog: January 2014

http://psammeadred.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 18, 2014. And I thought eight months was a long hiatus. And I thought a lot had happened in eight months! Well, let's see. About four months after my last post, I met a guy. And three hundred sixteen days after we met, this happened. A year after that, almost exactly down to the moment we said "I do," we had this picture. I'm a wife and a mommy now! Other significant events in the last four years include:. Going to Jordan to meet my now-in-laws. Now I'm doing more kid knitting, so the p...

psammeadred's blog: August 2008

http://psammeadred.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 23, 2008. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Let's get the ugly out of the way. This is my shirt after wearing my Ophelia. Vest, which I knitted from Hobby Lobby's new cotton yarn. "I Love This Cotton" knits up very nicely and is wonderfully soft, but.yeah. This is what it leaves in its wake. Now, some good. First of all, my first felting project:. I made this little circle-type object to put my teapot on when I take it up to my room. And new yarn always counts as a good thing, right?

psammeadred's blog: September 2008

http://psammeadred.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 20, 2008. In case you haven't guessed by now, I got a new camera for my birthday! It's a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS, and it takes some pretty fantastic pictures. Sunday, September 07, 2008. A couple of not-so-great things. This looks like a partially good thing (aside from my atrocious colorwork). The other not-so great thing:. Let this be a lesson: bookshelves from Walmart are not to be trusted. But let's end on a high note, shall we? A refresher - it's PINK. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, May 29, 2008. I'm taking today off. Due to some contamination problems with our cells, I have absolutely nothing to do in the lab today, and I have a 35 mile round-trip commute (which is almost 1 1/2 gallons of gas). I told my coworkers to call me if they needed me at all. I have a ton and a half of stuff to do around the house. So why do I feel so guilty for not working? Maybe my conscience is hyperactive. I do have pictures to show you, though. I've also started Emerald. I'm still here.an...

Tuesday, January 13, 2009. In which I learn some things. 1 Negative ease can be my friend. Being 5'3" means even size small sweaters sometimes swamp me. (Alliteration is, apparently, also my friend.). 2 Short-row bust shaping is also my friend, even if it means putting a mauve stripe where I would just as soon not have a mauve stripe. (If I had to do it again, I'd start the short rows as soon as I took off the stitches for the sleeves and use two balls of yarn to avoid the giant mauve stripe.). 5 If you ...

psammeadred's blog: For pretty

http://psammeadred.blogspot.com/2008/12/for-pretty.html

Friday, December 05, 2008. About two years ago, my grandmother gave me two teapots for my birthday. One was delicately ornamented blue and white bit of hand-painted china. It looked like something that Elizabeth Bennett would have used to pour Mr. Darcy a cup of Earl Grey. Grandmother had taped a note on it that said, "For pretty.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
