So, my fantastic friend Bella Blu Mama gifted me with some awesome remnants this evening (THANK YOU!). The lovelies were some beautiful merino and some lovely leftover Malabrigo, mainly since I mentioned that I’m a Malabrigo virgin. (I know - oh the horror!) Not to mention, I was also lucky enough to score (since it’s [...]

Dream On…
Posted in Knitting, Life on September 3, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Dream away. I think I’m gonna have to sta-ayy and kni-it forevvvermore. Ahh, bet Color Me Badd never expected “I Adore Mi Amor” to be parodied in the knitworld. However, since I can turn any song into a puppy song, I’m pretty sure I’d be equally talented with knitting songs. (As an aside, I adore [...]
One Moment In Knitting
Posted in Knitting, Life on August 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
When I’m all that I thought I could be. Then, in that one moment of knitting, I will feel eternity. Consider this my ode to Whitney Houston and knitting. Two things that one never thought could come together so smoothly.
I’ve been thinking about learning to spin recently. I suddenly realized tonight that I’ve probably been [...]

The main premise laid out in the book is that social phenomena in the world can be explained as epidemics. Starting with the [...]

I sat down tonight to start a baby blanket for a friend of mine. I’ve putting this off for a while. The yarn - beautiful. Ok, maybe not entirely baby appropriate.

Commitment Issues

I have commitment issues. Not in personal relationships. I managed to get married with few problems. Although, I can admit that I certainly queried whether I could live under the same roof as another person for the rest of my life and whether, really, I could imagine not being totally independent. Although I’ll grant, it’s [...]
Recreating the Feminist Mystique One Stitch at a Time

I’ve become a knitter. I brought my knitting to the class I teach one day. As one of my students walks in, he looks at me and says, “You know how to knit? Dude, you’re old.” Sigh, yeah, probably. However, his image of a knitter is probably either a Donna Reed-type housewife or a grandmother. [...]
