Drive-by post. (Mona, wrong pron. This one isn't for you. *laughs*)

Silly KnitPicks. >.<;; I want, but I just can't see me a) making it or b) using it. *sigh* But, but... it looks so purdy! ^^;

......FSU wanted me to knit her a scarf for in the house using a yarn (alpaca cashmere tweed) that recently came for one of her sock clubs. The yarn itself is fairly heavy, and there's absolutely no way in this world we'd make it into socks. I already have one pair of alpaca socks made from a thinner yarn, and I can't even wear them for more than ( Read more... )

Oh good grief! I have to admit I never expected to see the sort of drama I've been seeing on the Mystery (Misery) Lace forum. Knitters aren't children, and while I can understand the need to vent... *sigh* I've been in a number of flame wars and other nastiness online (hey, I've been on BBSs since '91 and the internet since ~'95), so the stuff ( Read more... )

So, the cold's still with me, it *snowed* all day (and is expected to snow for the next few days), but above all, I've been summoned for jury duty. *sigh* All female members of this family have now been summoned for jury duty while none of the males have (to FSU's and my knowledge). It's made for a strange day ( Read more... )

Ugh. Woke up with a sore throat yesterday, still had it today with a headache and chills added in. Of course, it did snow today, so the chills could be anything and the headache could be weather related. *laughs* Either I'm in denial, or I'm coming down with something. Will probably know better tomorrow ( Read more... )

You know, you're 72 right now, so *what* do you think you're doing falling out of a friggin' tree?! I swear, you're definitely *his* father, not mine (nor FSU's)! I'm neither that clumsy nor that foolish. (For one thing, I'd call a tree trimming service ( Read more... )

And here we go again. ginny-t, I hope you haven't begun this one yet, because I've decided that the first way I did things is indeed the best again... >.>

( possibly quite long on these socks... )

So, I've finally caved in and am trying out an auction service so I can buy things from Yahoo Japan's auction site. I think this is an extraordinarily bad thing for me to do, and I'm going to have to kick myself off the service. I mean seriously! The temptation is horrible!

I don't know if anyone remembers this post, but... temptation won out ( Read more... )

Rippit! Rippit! Grrr. Stupid. Read the pattern! That's not a YO; that's a m1! >.<;; *sigh* At least I only made it to row 15 before realising I was misreading the pattern. Of course this is while I was struggling with my first pair of toe ups... >.> Yeah, auspicious start for these socks. On the plus side, Jitterbug is nice stuff. ^_ ( Read more... )

Dear Ravelry,

Please give me back my evening. >.<;;

Yours,
