The Knitter of Shiny Things Knits and Spins!: May 2010
http://knitterofshinythingsknits.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The Knitter of Shiny Things Knits and Spins! A place where I can talk about knitting shiny things. Sunday, May 30, 2010. I got back from my week and a half long Europe trip on Thursday afternoon. It was a trip in which I bought few souvenirs, but I did manage to visit a yarn store in Germany. The first two skeins are sock yarn from Italy, the second two are handspun/hand dyed local yarn from Germany. Knitter of shiny things. Friday, May 14, 2010. No Two People are Not on Fire (awww). I think I might have...

Black Bunny Hop: November 2006
http://blackbunnyhop.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 28, 2006. I finished my BBF Spice Cabinet socks a couple months ago. But what to do with the leftover yarn? Meet Swatchy McSwatchypants, part of the Travels With Swatchy. Project. McSwatchy was my stand-in at the family Thanksgiving this year, and it looks like he did me proud. Posted by Knittah at 7:51 PM. Wednesday, November 22, 2006. I got a lovely email from Sonja, who won a skein of Black Bunny sock yarn in the Bitchin' Mittens contest. She sent this photo:. Bad, Bad Bunny! Carol w...

What's Robin Up To?: Day 14 - Chobe National Park
http://robineiseman.blogspot.com/2013/10/day-14-chobe-national-park.html
What's Robin Up To? Sunday, October 6, 2013. Day 14 - Chobe National Park. The main attraction today was an afternoon safari cruise on the Chobe river. Chobe is different from the other places we've been bc it is a national park and therefore we have no idea what we are going to see. With the private game reserve, they knew exactly what they had on the property. Here, there's no way of knowing what you're going to see. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Day 13 - Victoria Falls.

What's Robin Up To?: Day 11 (part 2) - Soweto
http://robineiseman.blogspot.com/2013/10/day-11-part-2-soweto.html
What's Robin Up To? Friday, October 4, 2013. Day 11 (part 2) - Soweto. We learned about the student protest on June 16, 1976 against apartheid and the forced teaching of Afrikaans in the schools and sparked a nationwide riot. This protest led to the innocent killing of over 200 children over the course of 4 months. We went to the Hector Pieterson Museum, which commemorates Hector Pieterson, a 12-year old boy who died during the initial protest. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

What's Robin Up To?: Day 10 - Entabeni Game Reserve
http://robineiseman.blogspot.com/2013/10/day-10-entabeni-game-reserve.html
What's Robin Up To? Thursday, October 3, 2013. Day 10 - Entabeni Game Reserve. Day #2 of waking up at 5:30am. You know I'm great company these days if I'm waking up so early! That almost killed me! Aside from the dips and curves, we flew over giraffes, elephants, wildebeest, impalas and more. Can you see it? It's the green in the shape of Africa! Had to be about 15 feet away, tops! Tried to get a pic but it didn't work out so well. What a majestic animal! After the lion left us, we met up with our other ...

http://robineiseman.blogspot.com/2013/10/day-15-chobe-national-park.html
What's Robin Up To? Monday, October 7, 2013. Day 15 - Chobe National Park. This morning we were up early for our last morning game drive. While I hate getting up so early, I also hate the idea that my vacation is almost over. Until then, I won't dwell on it. Back to the game drive report! We saw several herds of 10, with babies, either eating or walking or even swimming (! I didn't realize elephants could swim. At the end of the day we saw at least 30 elephants on one of the islands in the river....In ad...

What's Robin Up To?: March 2011
http://robineiseman.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
What's Robin Up To? Monday, March 28, 2011. I've been busy the past couple months with a number of projects. In January I went to the Vogue Knitting event in NYC and picked up this neat fishnet yarn. It's Flamenco from Trendsetter Yarns. I just "cast on" 10 stitches and knit it up in garter stitch. Fluff it out and you've got this neat ruffled, lacey scarf. These socks are a basic 3x1 rib in Jojoland's Melody. This is almost done now. I'm working on the border as we speak. The next pictures I'll ...View ...

The Knitter of Shiny Things Knits and Spins!: Advanced fixing of Sad Roving
http://knitterofshinythingsknits.blogspot.com/2010/06/advanced-fixing-of-sad-roving.html
The Knitter of Shiny Things Knits and Spins! A place where I can talk about knitting shiny things. Monday, June 21, 2010. Advanced fixing of Sad Roving. A couple of days ago, I wrote this. Post on the HRSFAns Crafts Blog. About roving that I accidentally felted, but found a way to save. It involved infinite pre-drafting, and would have to either be sold as yarn, or super-discounted bargain roving where I had the chance to instruct the person on what to do with the damn thing. So here's what you do. 5 put...
