The Whimsicalities of a Traveling Panda: Ragtime
http://travelingpanda.blogspot.com/2013/01/ragtime.html
The Whimsicalities of a Traveling Panda. January 18, 2013. When I was a small child, my mother would play the piano at night, usually shortly after my siblings and I had gone to sleep. She plays all kinds of music, but especially ragtime. Scott Joplin. I'm a student in graduate school. Home on a long weekend between classes. And what does my mother play to practice? Ragtime. And what does my body and brain do, as if instinctually? Until the next, Panda. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Knittin' Kitten: Tour de Fleece 2015 Update
http://knittnkitten.blogspot.com/2015/07/tour-de-fleece-2015-update.html
Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Tour de Fleece 2015 Update. Work has been crazed. So I have been taking pics, but didn't have a lot of time to *do* anything with them! I finished the Into the Whirled batt singles by the end of day Two! It also plied up quickly. So I suspect there won't be tons of yardage, but it was fun. I confess that I just didn't care for the Falkland. But, could just be me.

Knittin' Kitten: Why NOT to Overfill Your Bobbins
http://knittnkitten.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-not-to-overfill-your-bobbins.html
Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Why NOT to Overfill Your Bobbins. I swear that read that the Woolee Winder bobbins were supposed to hold 5 oz. Though of course, I looked again now and can't find anything of the sort. So maybe I was imagining it.). So I tried to stuff the 4.8 oz. of the Loop Bump on one bobbin. I knew I was pushing my luck. But I only have three high speed bobbins. Jersey City,...

Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. It has been bitterly cold. I have not wanting to take off wool socks *at all*. Unfortunately, our heat is controlled by our landlord. The one that sets the thermostat is from Poland and thinks 65 for the day is just fine! I went to put on my Maeve socks. THERE IS A MASSIVE HOLE ON THE BALL OF THE FOOT! Though they might have been earlier than fall. I really ne...

Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The End of the Tour de Fleece 2015. So the Tour de Fleece is over for 2015. I spin every day but one of the two rest days. And even then I skeined one of the yarns. Most years I don't get to spin that much. Something comes up. But I was very focused and did well. Though this morning I looked at my wheel and was sad to see it empty! Here are my finished TdF yarns.

Http:/ the-panopticon.blogspot.com/2012/07/yarnworthy.html. Love this chart on where ti knit or buy! Audience is key. I had one set of parents where I knit several items and I am 95% certain the kids never wore anything I knit. Another set, I am about 90% certain they really loved the hand knits.

Knittin' Kitten: October 2012
http://knittnkitten.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. I am really trying to finish stuff. It is unlike me to have so much on my needles and so little finished. So I am trying to get things off my WIP list. Add the beads and then double knot the edge so said beads don't fall off. The scarf/neckwarmer was knit in 2010! But given I am over half way through, I can't do it. So I press on with it. Storied Yarns Superwas...

Knittin' Kitten: What a Difference a Good Soak Makes
http://knittnkitten.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-difference-good-soak-makes.html
Confessions of a lazy knitter. Michele /akkasha's knitting journal. Mostly a place to babble about my latest projects. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. What a Difference a Good Soak Makes. So I think I was way too hard on Falkland. I think I was trying to get it to do what was in my head instead of letting it do its thing. With the Into the Whirled batt, I was struggling with it to start. I wanted a shawl in a nice light weight yarn. I did the two ply to make a shawl. But it didn't want to spin thin. What a diffe...

The Whimsicalities of a Traveling Panda: Nut Butters
http://travelingpanda.blogspot.com/2013/01/nut-butters.html
The Whimsicalities of a Traveling Panda. January 1, 2013. Aww man. I just made nut butter. Actually, I made three different kinds of nut butter in less than half an hour. Yeah, it's that easy. I made (from left to right): honey cinnamon walnut butter, hazelnut butter, and dark chocolate hazelnut butter. Hazelnut butter is good on its own, so when that was done processing, I took about half out, then added some cocoa powder and a little sugar. Until the next, Panda. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
