So I’ve decided to make some changes around here. Hopefully this will go fairly smoothly.
I decided to change the blog name and URL to better reflect the varied content and also to encourage me to try new things with the blog. So to that end the blog right here will no longer be updated. [...]

Hey, I’ve been knitting. Surprise! I have been in slump, it happens when the weather starts getting really hot. I didn’t finish a damn thing in April, knitting blahs. However, I did finish my Lush and Lacy Cardigan (rav link) in May.
I think it turned out pretty good, even if the pictures [...]

So the oak is dusting the city with pollen this week, and this year it’s really bothering me. I’ve been sick since Monday, really Sunday night. I guess working all weekend in the yard and garage while the pollen was flying was not a smooth move.
We did manage to get the rose bed mostly [...]

The stash numbers to the right aren’t looking so great anymore. I have been staying in my budget, but I have still managed to add a lot of yarn to the stash so far this year. You see I got some good deals on destashes in January and February and then I bought [...]

So I’m behind here, again. I really am going to try harder. So let me start with a recap of my January and February knitting (yep it’s still mostly knitting around here, but look out).
In January I only finished 2 things:
socks
and a doomed sweater
In February I only finished a vest/cardigan thing that found [...]

So I know the posting around here has been pretty sparse. I’ve been thinking about this blog and trying to figure out how to either maintain two blogs (one for crafty stuff, one for everything else) or how to better make this a blog about me and not just my knitting. So I’ll [...]

So since it’s been so long I have several project updates and a lot of stash enhancement to report…at least I have photos to make it more fun.
Pattern: Clapotis by Kate Gilbert
Yarn: Malabrigo Lace in Vaa colorway
Needles: US 8 (straight)
Notes: My first Clap, I liked the pattern. It was simple and the effect is [...]

So I have the summer blues, so this post will be totally random probably. I haven’t done crap on my August xmas socks. I cast them on, knit to the heel and realized they were too big. I’ve cast on again and done the cuff, but I”m afraid these are too small [...]
I got some yarn. I know, shocking.
I got something for the August xmas socks.
Fleece Artist Sea Wool in Lily Pond
Then I got some great indie dyed (or indie dyer, or indy??) yarn in a RAOK (random act of kindness) which is going to be perfect for another pair of xmas socks.
Wooly Wonka [...]

I’m so behind with FO’s and WIP’s and stash busting counts, that I think I’m just going to add up my numbers and call it a day. No, I guess I’ll show what I finished in July, it was a busy month.
First, I finished Ella’s B, which I already blabbered about enough.
Then I finished [...]
