Tuesday, January 26, 2010. What Happens When You Try To Get Rid of Doggie Red-Eye? Take me to your leeeeder. Links to this post. Saturday, January 23, 2010. Steel Horses and Sweet Lucy. If you haven't heard the good news, I am officially employed as of 1 February! I'm pretty stoked and relieved. Mini-Me's dad comes home from his trip to Douchebagistan on Thursday, and I didn't want to have to hear what he had to say if I was without employment. Livin' on a prayer! We had a great time, and Mini-Me and I a...

Knitting the Knotty Way: September 2009
http://msknottyknits.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Love Is In The Air! I love this batt. I know, it's really hard not to see it, eh? I picked it up from Uniquely Yours. I've been eyeing it for some time now, and finally gave in. I've already started working on it, but I can't share. It's either going to be a complete success or a total failure, so I'll keep you posted. I figure if it's an absolute flop, I can always use it as an add in or something to ply with. Did I just have an art yarn thought there? I know, I know, there'...

All Things Shea: When Knitting Goes Wrong - a Tutorial
http://allthingsshea.blogspot.com/2008/08/when-knitting-goes-wrong-tutorial.html
Thursday, August 07, 2008. When Knitting Goes Wrong - a Tutorial. Sometimes I'll be chugging along with my knitting thinking "Man, am I hot tonight! Just look how well this is going." and then I'll look down at my work and say "Oh no.". Yes, that's what happened last night. The edges of the wedding shawl are supposed to be seed stitch. That's where you work k,p,k,p on a row all the way across, then turn your work and then do p,k,p,k all the way across. Once the evaluation of the problem was over, I decid...

Knitting the Knotty Way: All the pretty colors!
http://msknottyknits.blogspot.com/2010/04/all-pretty-colors.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. All the pretty colors! So the last time I rambled, I was needing to refocus. And I did, somewhat. It made me happy. This made me stupidly happy. It's 440 yards of merino fingering weight. It's done on a base that I'm in love with and am tempted to buy more of. I'm still just using Wilton's but hey, that's what happens when you have a small kitchen and a crock pot that can't only be for dying yarn. I've been plugging away at my Creature Comforts Cardi. But here's what I have so far!

Knitting the Knotty Way: June 2009
http://msknottyknits.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. WARNING: This product contains a high fiber content - proceed with caution. Check out my new friends! They've been showing up at my door step, begging to be let in. Some of them have mysteriously appeared at night. I think my wheel may have been producing yarn or some sort of stuff. I'd go through and tell you what everything is, but I'm really lazy. My dearest friend, I am sorry that you cannot play - you know too many secrets. By the way, you'll notice that I have added a few ne...

Knitting the Knotty Way: Maybe It's Time to Refocus...
http://msknottyknits.blogspot.com/2010/03/maybe-its-time-to-refocus.html
Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Maybe It's Time to Refocus. It's been a bit of a crazy road lately. Going back to work full time threw me for a loop. (And that's putting it mildly.). While the new job has it's perks, there is absolutely NO privacy. The company's goal is for everyone to work together - and apparently that means pushing 4 desks together into the center of a room without any dividers. I was really used to working at my own pace, and setting the tone of my day. Well, not anymore! Has gone to bed ...

Thursday, December 24, 2009. Mini-Me's Letter to Santa. Sorry if you don't like the card. Thank you for everything! Hope you like the croissant.*. I watched you on the tracker online. Did you fly in the day and is rudolph's. Did you visit my dad? PS - Sorry about the cookies. I'll let you have truffles to! In true Mommy fashion, we are fresh out of cookies. Luckily I had chocolate croissants on hand. Uncle Dennis gave her a box of chocolates for Christmas. So she is sharing with Santa. Links to this post.

Wednesday, June 9, 2010. It is what it is, and Mini-Me's pose sums up the current situation quite appropriately. Not that I am a nose picker, but when there's not much else to do, ya might as well do something useful, right? Like freak out the kiddo by posting a picture of her picking her nose on a blog for all the world to see. Good times ya'll. Zero Now that I am on an unexpected vacation, kidlet. Will be expecting great things. Personally, I'm expecting to not hear my alarm clock at 6:30am for a while.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010. What Happens When You Try To Get Rid of Doggie Red-Eye? Take me to your leeeeder. January 26, 2010 at 2:46:00 PM EST.

Knitting the Knotty Way: May 2009
http://msknottyknits.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 23, 2009. Or is it Begonia? For my Birthday last year, mum sent fiber. It is extraordinarly. Soft, and was a pleasure to spin. As it was coming up on Mother's Day, I got to work! I had 2 oz of each color, and thought it would be fun to play with color changes. The darker color is Begonia and the lighter color is Coral. After much discussion with my fellow fiber enthusiasts, I am pretty sure that I was spinning Ashland. Here's the finished product! There's about 270 yards at 14 WPI. I got so...
