Uh, HELLO?

Oh dear, I have so much to blog about! There are grannies and one fingerless glove (2nd still to come) and a meathead hat! It’s all so exciting, but I’m buried under power point slides… virtually buried, I guess. I’m giving a talk next week in NYC and although things aren’t dire (yet), I’m a [...]

Crochet: Granny Beginings and a Monkey without a Face

This weekend was chock full of grading, reading and granny-ing. This picture doesn’t really do justice to the amount of grannying that occurred, but it’s a taste. Also, here you see the first of three monkey heads. I haven’t stitched in the eyes, ears or mouth yet, but you get the idea. [...]

Crochet: OMG! Babies are so little!

So I’m camped out in bed, riding out a nasty bout of the flu. I figured since I’ve got the time I might as well crochet up the matching Seija hat to go with the Neapolitan Afghan. The hat is sized for a six-month-old. I crocheted a couple of rounds to [...]

All I know is I need things to slow down a bit [...]

The three best words in the English language

No, not “I love you,” although they are a close second. The three best words in the English language are “Out for Delivery.” And those are the three words that I found when I entered my tracking number into the UPS website this morning!
My mother, being the enabler she is, ordered for me a snazzy [...]

Knit: New Knitty!

Kitty Spring 2007 is up! I’ve just glanced at the patterns and there are some very cute sweaters. Confession: I am scared to try a sweater. But maybe Spring 2007 is the time for a first attempt. Hmm… still uncertain. But one thing I am certain about is that Spring 2007 is definitely a good [...]

Crochet: Granny-Along & Gush-tastic Thoughts

Hot off the presses at the Crochet Me blog– it’s a Granny-Along!

Just in time, too. I’m nearly done with the first of my baby afghans. (Part one of the Seija Set is just beautiful– pictures tomorrow, I swear.) Perhaps you recall, the next afghan (for my landlords) is granny-based. So I’m totally down for the [...]
