One Crazy Fiber Lady

Well I’m now officially back from vacation. I have a ton up pictures to upload and I need to organize the 10 days out of the office into some coherent post. But I haven’t blogged in a while and didn’t want to wait any longer. I suspected I might get a few “are you okay” […]

Borrowing a much used theme for a Wednesday, I have a bunch of random unrelated stuff to relate, though I’m not entirely sure how that differs from any of my other posts
1.  Knittin stuff:

How I’ve been spending my commute.  I’ve completed the first 62 row repeat for the center square, only 300 more […]

Some might have noticed that I haven’t had any socks on the needles for a while now.   The last pair had been finished on 5/23.  I went for THREE weeks without knitting any socks.  That’s not a big deal for some knitters.  But I’m a sock and lace knitter.  Sure, I’ve got a bit of […]

I’d like to re-introduce the monster who lives in my house:
See that innocent face, those big smiling eyes?  Don’t be fooled by him, he’s a monster all right.  Oh sure, others tell me he’s just a normal 4.5 year old boy.  I don’t believe them.  But then again I don’t have much in the way of […]

Since yesterday was officially Twirling Tuesday, I pulled out a spinning wheel (or two) to use.  I spun a bit more of the blue-green merino on the Ladybug, but then moved to the recently neglected Matchless and the red mix that I bought from Little Barn at MD.  
I think I need a solid navy […]

It is back to work day, but I had a glorious three days off. 
Saturday was devoted to running errands avec les monkeys.  There were stops at the jewelers to drop off my diamond studs to have the post fixed on one (I used it to tighten my knitpicks needle and managed to break it - […]

Sorry for the sustained silence.  It has been a somewhat rough week. 
Tuesday morning, before the alarm clock, I was awakened by the combined sounds of the croup and gagging, paired with a little crying.  Mommy-superhero lept out of bed and went a-running.  I found Kat sitting on the edge of her bed and had my […]

Looking out the window now it is hard to remember how nice yesterday was.  Actually it was a pretty darn decent weekend all around. I had a lovely mother’s day, spendning most of it outside with the kids playing and Ladybug keeping me company. 

I finished the spinning the Still River Mill Mystery Bump singles, as […]

Monday mornings are just tough!  It was such a great weekend.  Saturday was downright fabulous.  The weather was gorgeous.  Unfortunately I was only able to spend about two hours at Jessica’s house for her gathering.   I finished off the first sleeve for the Shaped V-Neck (sorry no pictures of it today)  and that was the […]

While on the train this morning, I kept building a post in my head while I knitted away on Shaped V-Neck.  I’m feeling like I’m pulled in a hundred different directions, trying to do so many things at the same time and doing none of them well.

My day is a long one.  The alarm clock […]
