It's all knit up
Tweet The Lamb Wool Linen Jacket is all knit up. Now it’s all about blocking and seaming. I’ll probably give Tricoter a call and see what they recommend. And I’m not gonna lie, I’ll ask them what they would charge to block and seam it. I’m pretty good at seaming but this was an expensive [...]
6 degrees of Jane Austen
Tweet Ok, I’m going to admit that I watch a lot of tv. Which is what made me think of this little idea.I was flipping thru the channels and came across Rome on HBO. Well who should be in the cast but James Purefoy (Tom Bertram from Mansfield Park -1999), Tobias Menzies (William Elliot from [...]
why most Ovation TV keep torturing me?
Tweet Ovation TV knows my weekness – Jane Austen. Ok, so maybe not Jane Austen so much as the man who plays Mr. Darcy in the ITV mini series Lost in Austen - Elliot Cowan. I understand that it’s just a tv show. But for the love of God, I beg you, please stop playing [...]
The final verdict
Tweet I took my aunt’s scarf into work so I could block it free of cat interference. So at lunch time I pinned it all down and steamed it. and here’s the close up… I think when I finished knitting it, I stopped at roughly 52 inches or so. When I blocked it, it stretched [...]
Aunt Nancy – your scarf is done
Tweet I finished knitting the lace leaf scarf and tomorrow while I’m working I’ll be blocking it so that the lace sits right. And then after it sits for a day or so, I’ll wrap it up nice and neat and send it off. Granted it’s roughly almost 3 months late. Sorry. I apparently am [...]
Exhausted
Tweet It was another great swim workout this evening. It left me exhausted. I did have a little bit of energy left over to stop and check out Rainier Health and Fitness. They are my local gym. If I remember correctly, they are a non profit. The area where they are located has one of [...]
Why I hate AT&T
Tweet Aside from the stellar customer service (insert sarcastic tone here) the cell phone that I bought back in November of 2007, died. And by died I mean, it’s dropping calls all the time and now won’t hold a charge to save it’s life. I go into the store and ask what my options are, [...]
Quidditch!
Tweet First, let me get my quidditch homework out of the way… 1. On which day did the Order of the Phoenix come to get Harry? a. Tuesday b. Sunday c. Saturday d. The day of his 17th birthday 2. During all this chaos with voldemort and the Death Eaters, people still had lives to [...]
Busy weekend… kinda
Tweet This weekend was a somewhat busy weekend. I guess I would say productive. I did a lot of cleaning and knitting. I also watched a fair amount of tv while doing both those things. One thing that I watched and can’t wait for it to come out on video (and I’m sure it’ll be [...]
Things I've noticed
Tweet Recently on my drive to and from work I’ve noticed that no one seems to go around the block if they’ve missed their turn. Back east, we go around the block or take the next exit and zip back around. Not in Seattle. Yesterday I was driving home from work and there’s a particular [...]
