The Viking Princess: March 2012
http://thevikingprincess.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 08, 2012. This guy lost his first tooth and that reminded me I have a blog. Things have been super busy since I started taking art and weaving classes last fall. Mostly I'm trying to balance getting stuff done with spending these last preschool months with Kenneth. Field trips, work days at school, doing things after school. Next year the school days will be long and we won't be able to take days off for road trips. Spent that night, New Year's Eve, in a funky motel with sister A, asleep ...

The Viking Princess: June 2010
http://thevikingprincess.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. The kid and I took a trip to visit my sister in Moscow, Idaho last week. This photo sums up what traveling with a preschooler is like:. Full of comedy and tragedy:. We drove all over Northern Idaho and Washington. Saw a lot of wheat. Took a bunch of train photos:. This one did not turn out exactly as planned, but I know the photographer would protest if I did not include it:. On the knitting front, I have some f.o.'s I haven't blogged about, and am working on a pooling stole. Pictu...

The Viking Princess: Summer is Over, Time to Blog
http://thevikingprincess.blogspot.com/2011/08/summer-is-over.html
Monday, August 22, 2011. Summer is Over, Time to Blog. We took a twelve-day trip to the East Coast (NH, MA, and ME). It was great fun. K. and I got to meet a bunch of my husband's family. Got the whole picture now. I had a lot of fiber fun, too. I'm going to blog about that at the Purl Jam site in a couple days. I don't have a lot of photos from the trip because my camera got broken on day three. I'm trying to get some pics from everyone else so I can blog about the trip properly. MY SON IS FIVE. I don't...

Thursday, June 16, 2011. The Knitting Life Summer Edition. What's been happening around here? My kid graduated from preschool a few weeks ago, that was pretty amazing. The kids put on a musical and their teacher spoke about each kid individually. The words 'action' and 'enthusiasm' described mine. We'll be at the school for another year in the Young 5 program for those kids who are too young or not quite ready for Kindergarten. Did I mention the S.F. Zoo sheep shearing? That was in May, too, and I blogged.

The Viking Princess: April 2011
http://thevikingprincess.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. Hope you have a great day. Sunday, April 17, 2011. For fun I'm knitting argyle socks, the current One-Sock-A-Month pattern. Just to make my first intarsia as challenging as possible, they are fingering weight on size 0's. And if the knitting isn't tricky enough, the leg and foot seaming ought to be interesting. Okay, a baby got born, so I can post the socks and hats I knit for him. I've been making progress on my Frankensocks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Viking Princess: November 2011
http://thevikingprincess.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. Okay, let's gloss over the fact that I haven't blogged about our summer vacation, fiber fests, Halloween or recent knitting. It has been crazy here, with my school, work and life. So here are some photos from a recent trip to Oregon. The colors are intense this time of year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a native San Franciscan. If I suddenly became wealthy I would go back to school and pursue a degree in textiles. View my complete profile. Crafty Folks and Places.

Monday, March 14, 2011. Stitches West, Birthday, FO's. What a great tradition this is turning into, going to Stitches West on my birthday weekend. Friday I took a great class on Swedish twined knitting, Tvåänddsstickning. So, yes, I broke my over year-long spell and bought yarn. Hey, I need it for a Scandinavian technique. It was birthday money. I also bought a book about twined knitting and sock blockers! Yarn and (not pictured) three kinds of wool to spin from my kin. The photo way up top was taken by ...

The Viking Princess: April 2012
http://thevikingprincess.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 22, 2012. I can't believe how little a mention I made in my last post about the table runner I wove last semester. It really looked like fabric! And came out as I planned and envisioned it. Winding the warp, threading the heddles, and sleying the reed takes a long time, especially for a beginner. It was really enjoyable to finally watch the fabric emerge and grow as I wove. It was a simple twill pattern, so the treadling was rhythmic. We spent the first month of class dyeing cotton in color...
