The blog is being attacked at the moment by a particular bot which seems to be able to get around the CAPTCHA (word thingy) to post comments. I am slightly more worried than I was a minute ago, because this bot was attacking my pattern announcement post in particular, and when I came to write [...]

In which I meet the Yarn Harlot
April 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments · Update, Works in Progress
I can finally join the ranks of thousands of bloggers before me and make the obligatory post of when I met the Yarn Harlot. I was very lucky to have a friend who works in midtown that was able to get there early enough to save me a really great seat in the second row. [...]

Rose Pattern Correction
January 2nd, 2008 · 3 Comments · Update
Well, the pattern is 16 months old, and someone on Ravelry spotted an error. On the left thumb gusset – the pm and k2 were not in the proper order, which would have placed the thumb gusset on the left glove in a different place than the right glove. I have fixed both versions of [...]

Indeed a long time coming…
November 14th, 2007 · No Comments · Musings, Update
Yes, I’m back. Since I last posted, I’ve been to Rhinebeck and then out of the country for a week. To say I’ve been preoccupied would be a massive understatement. I’d like to make the commitment to myself to be more diligent about updating – not because I fancy myself a very popular knitblogger, but [...]

I owe everyone a picture post. This is not it, however. There was a small snafu where I misplaced my battery charger and the batteries in the camera died. It has been located and the batteries are now charging. The SKB is at a standstill. After 2 evenings of straight knitting, I cast off the [...]

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while…
August 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Update
I have made an HTML version of the wristwarmer pattern. I realised how it can annoy me to have to open a PDF when I just want to look at a pattern. I’ve also had a couple of emails in the past year (where did the time go?!) from people having problems opening the PDF. [...]

Presenting…yarn!
August 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Update
Well I still have a long way to go in getting this right, but I’m very pleased with how these two turned out. I don’t intend to name my yarn – I don’t “do” names. If I start dyeing more often, I’ll give them names that are indicative of the colours represented, but nothing faffy [...]

Another day for dyeing…
August 18th, 2007 · No Comments · Update
This is my second-ever attempt at dyeing yarn. This time, I didn’t go for the immersion method – oh no, I had to go for another more difficult technique. One part of my personality you may glean from this blog is that I tend to dive into things headfirst. So far, in knitting, this has [...]

And, I’m back….
August 10th, 2007 · No Comments · Update
Well I had a crazy couple of months, but now I’m back. I really wish I wasn’t so lazy sometimes – the main thing that holds me back from posting is taking pictures! This post is sadly sans photos but expect some soon. My Simple Knitted Bodice is coming along nicely – it was hibernating [...]

A week late…
May 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Update
I meant to post last week, but I was too tired at the weekend and I started a new job this week! Anyway! Last Saturday my mother and I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival…oh. my. god. Wool EVERYWHERE! It was a little overwhelming actually! Considering how much yarn there was available to [...]
