I know it is a silly thing to say, seeing as how I am perfectly capable of picking up the needles at any time. But the past 6 months…life has been busy. An unsettled kind of busy. And when life gets like that for me, during my downtime I seek less release in my more [...]

Last time I wrote I promised news. Now I am aware that from time to time I have promised things on this blog and didn’t deliver. This is not one of those times.
So you ready for it? My news…
I am buying a house!
Actually a condo, but I hate the word condo (for some reason it [...]

Not posting for a while is kind of like taking too long to email a friend back (of which I have way to much experience with.) You keep meaning to write but every day/week/month you wait, all the things you have to cover just grow exponentially. The more you have to write, the harder it [...]
Someone loves me very much

I had another post planned but I had to preempt it for very important breaking news. Denver is home to many things I love, one of which is Smashburger. Most of my Denver friends (and every friend that came to visit me when I lived in Denver) knows how much I love me some Smashburger. [...]
Oh, hello.

I know, it has been a while. Sorry about that. In the last 6 weeks I have moved states, started a new job, and just got back from two weeks of this:
Hiking the Great Wall of China
Viewing history unearthed
Cruising the Li River
Floating down the Dragon River
Shopping at Vickie…shoes!
Helping these two [...]
I should be packing but…

The last couple months I have been in a bit of a knitting lull. I’ve started several projects only to lose interest and frog or just put the project to the side. I just couldn’t get excited–I wasn’t inspired by anything.
And then, about a week ago, I got my hands on a copy of this [...]

First off I should say, I love Denver and the two years I have lived here. I love the city and the restaurants and the over-sized animal statues. I love my job and the company I have been lucky enough to work for. I really love the people I’ve met here, real lifetime friends that [...]
Anthro-Inspired Scarflet
Posted in Uncategorized on April 18, 2009 | 21 Comments »
In the craziness that has been the last month, I completely neglected to post about a quick knitting project I picked up one night when I needed to knit something different, small, and out of stash yarn. I went to my handy ravelry queue for ideas and was reminded of the Anthro-Inspired Scarflet–a pattern that [...]

For those who don’t know, I grew up on Oahu in the State of Hawaii. During my college years I remember visiting home one summer with a friend. We went to go visit my grandpa one day. He was out in his yard hard at work–wearing his coveralls of course. He greeted my friend warmly [...]
Just a little friendly advice from Vogue
Posted in Uncategorized on March 12, 2009 | 26 Comments »
So I am flipping through a friend’s copy of Vogue Sewing. I am reading a section that talks about how to deal with fitting problems or making a pattern fit your body right and I stumble across this nugget of wisdom:
“If you are ten or twenty pounds overweight, you could try to lose weight. Even a [...]
