Knitting Linguist: September 2013
http://knittinglinguist.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. San Diego Yarn Crawl 2013. Unlike my friend Marie, I knew I wouldn't be able to visit all of the stores on the list, but we did manage to skip out early on Friday to make the 40 -mile drive to Ramona to go to an alpaca farm (you can't go wrong with alpaca, I say, even if you have to do some washboard dirt driving to get there). This guy had the best topknot ever. And - to my very great excitement, the Yarnover Truck was there! That's not the best representation of the color, w...

Dark Twisted Stitches: november 2014
http://darktwistedstitches.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
I'm not much of a gamer, but I used to play DnD back in the days. So I just had to make a homage to roleplaying and gaming on this cute little long-sleeved t-shirt I made for my youngest. The pattern is from my own head, an easy raglan knit top-down. How to salvage such a misery? For my part, it involves lots of swearing, and possibly alcohol. Being pregnant at the time, I substituted the latter with very loud music. (The teenager complained. He does that.) So now what? The arrows show the stitches that ...

Dark Twisted Stitches: august 2014
http://darktwistedstitches.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
During the summer I went on a major sewing spree, so not a lot were knitted. Plus this summer was incredibly warm! I'm a northerner, 30 is just way too hot for me. Luckily my dear new little treasure was born just before the heatwave set in. She also had the great sense to be born the day before the new paternity leave rules took effect, so daddy gets his 14 weeks of paid paternity leave after all, woohoo! I did finish a baby blanket. For my dear little one. Cute huh? I've also knitted three shorties and...

Ooops, is it her birthday? Julaften på kjerringa er min konstante tilstand. Sånn går det når man outsourcer hukommelsen sin til mobiler, smarttelefoner og - den største synderen - internett. Eller så er det bare meg. To uker og en dag før bursdagen er det perfekte øyeblikket å komme på at gullet trenger en bursdagskjole. Hjemmestrikket. Panikk? Jeg kastet meg over Ravelry. Min redning. (Må jo ha litt igjen for alle timene jeg bruker der inne.) . At last a small pay-off for those hours. Two weeks before ...

Dark Twisted Stitches: februar 2014
http://darktwistedstitches.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Volcanoes and no purling! I kind of want one for myself. I have a volcano loving nephew. What better to make for him than - drum solo - volcano mittens! Also a great excuse to test out the " no purl garter stitch in the round. Bonus trick: A rolled edge makes mittens easier to take on and off. No purl garter stitch in the round. 1 Knitting from the inside. 2 Knit the last stitch, drop the thread on the outside. 3 Turn the work, pick up the thread that is hanging on the inside. Of course I failed to follo...

Knitting Linguist: May 2013
http://knittinglinguist.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 13, 2013. Some of you may recognize the signs of prom.) In fact, much of Saturday was spent on the getting-ready part of prom (getting nails done, for example). There was even hair-doing. I'm not much of a girl, really, and you've all seen how short my hair is these days, so that involved going out to actually purchase a hair-dryer and curling iron (! I think Older Daughter was deeply concerned that the curling iron part of things might end up like this. And double-sided front/hood edging?

Dark Twisted Stitches: Ugly yarn
http://darktwistedstitches.blogspot.com/2014/05/ugly-yarn.html
My super ugly yarn that I still just can't make myself get rid of. I thought I'd add some photos, just to prove that I have some really ugly yarn in my stash. Ok, I know that this may be someone else's favourite yarn, but that's not the point. I. Hate it, but it's still in my stash, horrible reminders that crazy sale shopping is not necessary a good thing. Some of this yarn actually contains mohair. Pink I will avoid going political and just state that it is my least favourite colour. How did this happen?

Swings and Roundabouts: This is getting silly...
http://swings-and-roundabouts.blogspot.com/2008/08/this-is-getting-silly.html
You lose on the swings and you fall off the roundabout) Motherhood and Knitting: mind-numbingly boring, insanely frustrating, and yet strangely rewarding. Saturday, August 02, 2008. This is getting silly. Honestly - I should rename this blog 'the monthly excuse'. Oh yes - so there was I all set to post, having wrested control of the computer from the children, when Jess announced she'd put a bead up her nose. She didn't, of course, announce this to me. And since then I've either been too tired, too busy ...
