The Wild Fibre “knitting posse” and I will be there for some sheep shearing and alpaca groping petting. I’ll be taking to camera along for the unfortunates missing the [...]

Generally, I’ve been in a very good mood as of late. My breast augmentation is in eleven days. Our fifth wedding anniversary is on April 5th, and I got a highly anticipated book yesterday (Knitalong: Celebrating the Tradition of Knitting Together by Larissa Brown and Martin John Brown).
One thing, though, has been bothering me, just one thing…
Remember [...]

Please excuse the brief absence. My mother came to visit for a few days, it being her first time at our new home and in Savannah, we had much to do and see. We showed Mom our favorite city locals – Forsyth Park (the Fragrance Garden is blooming and redolent right now, so run over [...]

Wee One turned four years old in January. When she was born, I breast fed her for ten months before she finally lost interest. At the time, I was in a size 34A bra, but then my milk dried up. There was nothing left, of my boobs, that is. It looked as if they were [...]

The past few days have been devoted to learning crochet. Not only learning how to crochet, but learning from Japanese crochet patterns. It may sound intimidating, but it could not be any simpler (with the help of the Internet).
Recently, I have been falling in love with the Japanese pattern books and websites. The zakka patterns [...]

Close out Rowan Big Wool Tuft is sooo tempting, isn’t it? But when you order twenty balls of it, what do you do with it? I sat here, racking my brains trying to come up with something, anything. Mr. Yarn Bearer almost got a blanket for his rack at the Station, though, we both realized that [...]

A week ago, Mr. Yarn Bearer casually said to me, “I’m going to the bank, I’ll be back in a bit.” Half an hour later, he comes back with a lovely pink and black package, inside is a gift certificate to the local Spa. Before we get any further, let me just say this, he’s [...]

Unlike most, I don’t have cable/digital/satellite television. During our last PCS (permanent change of station, for the civilians in the bunch), we agreed to experiment life without the boob tube.
It has been ten months so far and we haven’t lost our sanity, we’re still informed (Internet and gossip), and I get SO much knitting done. Yes, life [...]
