Wheel

I’m not sure that anything could top yesterday’s post. Who wouldn’t love that Guinea Pig? (My husband has adopted him as a mascot, but I’m sure no one needed to know that.)
I was going to title this post something like “help, please” but I realized that I do way too much of that begging [...]

I can’t make this stuff up

I needed a laugh today, and thought you might, too.

No bunnies were hurt in the making of this post

There has been very little knitting to report of late from the Cygknit household. Sunday night, I knit my first hat for the Dulaan Project. It may fit a small doll. Hat 2 is on the needles, and appears that it may fit a real live human. If this is the case, I shall post [...]

Some help, please?

At some point in the recent Vicodin-induced haze I was accepted into the Knitting Blogs webring (Yay!). Rather than freak out at the huge spike in hits on the blog here, I decided to ask all those passing through for a little advice. And you folks that are always here for me? [...]

Some reasons

Some reasons why Vicodin and knitting are not mutually compatible:
1. It is possible that your ability to make good color choices can be affected.
2. Lace, even easy lace, can be a bit of a challenge.

(It may not look like it, but I took Netter’s advice and Eskimo’s encouragement and went from memory. [...]

We’re sorry…

…but your regularly scheduled blog has been temporarily disconnected. Please try your call again in a few days.
My apologies for the lack of blogging the last few days, and most likely the next two. I had a wee surgery yesterday, and all icky feelings about it aside: they have given me Vicodin. [...]

Book Review

Aside from a few book reports in middle grades, I have not ever done a book review. I read plenty of them, they’re essential to that purchasing part of my job (have I mentioned that I get to buy lots of books with other people’s money? Best part of being a Librarian.) But book reviews [...]

Blue

Today’s post was going to be about an ankle sock I cast on last night. Let me just say now, for the record: A gauge swatch for a sock is not a stupid idea. No matter how much so it may seem. Trust me on this, ok?
How about some Project Spectrum-ness?
A wee bit of blue [...]

Hey Pop,
Happy Father’s Day. It was good to talk to you today. After I hung up, I looked at the phone and saw we had talked for seven seconds short of fifteen minutes. Not that long ago it was just three or four.
I don’t know what to say to you, and I sure don’t know [...]

Copycat

I have nothing to post about. My dad’s second sock (for Father’s Day) isn’t done yet, and HAD to be mailed today to make it by Saturday. Whoops. I have a paper due tomorrow that I haven’t started.
Not very exciting stuff, I say.
So, many thanks to Jess for posting a wee [...]
