I got to meet Stephanie Pearl-McPhee yesterday, eeeeee!

aoife_ife was unable to accompany me. When I discovered this I sweetly (OK, let's be real here; I'm sleep-deprived and annoyed with him; I suspect the saccharine tone was more Nutrasweet and less refined cane sugar. Perhaps it was the unkempt appearance and crazed look in my eye) asked Jim, "Would ( Read more... )

Woot! The Yarn Harlot is coming back to Michigan in April and this time I won't be in Vegas and miss her! And its on a Sunday, which is fabbity because its about a 45 minute drive from here (Last time I would've had to scam my way out of work early to have gotten to see her if I'd been in town). I suspect her new book will be out by then ( Read more... )

I found a new LYS ('local yarn store' for those non-knitters) today while lunching with Jim and his mom. My eyes were drawn to the sign before I was even out of the car. Guess where we spent about an hour after lunch ( Read more... )

I have to admit, I love having so much time to knit right now. I'm cranking out projects like nobody's business. I can't wait for my latest order to arrive as I have four projects that I'm really excited to do.

Jim picked me up at work to go to lunch on his way home from the follow-up interview today (which went very well, btw, so it sounds like the job's in the bag *doesn't uncross fingers just yet*). We go to Arby's (I know, how healthy of us) and I've got some extra time, so when we get home to drop him off I decide to come in for a few minutes ( Read more... )

HeadacheI've had a headache again all weekend, which has made me realize after two weekends in a row of this that it must be because my routine is different. It's either to do with sleeping later/too much or my eating habits (I pretty much just graze all weekend and don't eat proper meals, especially if Jim's not home - which he wasn't). It wasn' ( Read more... )

I was working on diminishing my yarn stash as I had lots of randomness. I succeeded to where I don't have any spare yarn that isn't already destined for a specific project. And last night I just ordered nineteen more balls of yarn. *facepalm* Four of them are for knee-high striped socks. Eight of them are for a baby blanket. Five of them are ( Read more... )
