Top Down Hem?

November 17, 2006 Books

As Ene’s Scarf is coming along, I’m beginning to fantasize about a new project to start over the holidays. I have some time off work over Thanksgiving, and apart from Roundup, I hope to also have some quality knitting time. So, no pictures for this post, just musings. I’m thinking of starting a sweater for [...]

Baby Steps

June 16, 2006 Books

I am sick and tired. I am sick and tired of feeling depressed. There has to be a better way. Week after week, I see my psychiatrist and week after week, I feel the same. Week after week, he tells me that I’m already on some of the best medications out there and that I [...]

The 8th Day of 2006

January 8, 2006 Books

It’s the end of the 1st week of 2006. How is my mantra working out? To review: I am going to live my life one day at a time. If things get rough, I’’ll think about things one moment at a time. Every moment and every day, I will strive to do the next right [...]

The Knitting Book Whore

December 22, 2005 Books

So, what happens when you let an obsessive compulsive knitter go on vacation and get a little bored? He quickly becomes fidgety and starts obsessing about new projects. While obsessing, he is also riddled with indecisiveness. He cannot stay in this state for too long and he finally transforms into the Knitting Book Whore. ME!!! [...]

Knitter’s Handbook by Montse Stanley

December 20, 2005 Books

What do you do when you’re bored? Go out and buy a book. That’s exactly what I did today. It is so close to the holidays that I’m having a real hard time focusing at work. So, during lunch, I went out to Hobby Lobby and the 40% discount coupon that I found in the [...]

Elizabeth Zimmermann

December 13, 2005 Books

Elizabeth Zimmermann is no doubt a legend in the realm of knitting. All this time, I’ve heard about her and her books, but I have never really read any of them…. not sure why. This weekend, I got lucky at Half Price Books. I wondered off to the knitting section, totally prepared to be greeted [...]

Collection Automne-Hiver n°195

November 17, 2005 Books

I found out today, from a friend who speaks French that Anny Blatt: Collection Automne-Hiver n°195 means Anny Blatt’s Autumn-Winter Collection, Number 195. He just sounded so cool “saying” it. Makes me want to sit in a coffee shop in Paris and smoke cigarettes. And I didn’t know that the (n°) meant “number”. At first, [...]

Crazy Shopping Spree

November 10, 2005 Books

Wow, it feels like forever since my last post where I sounded like a crazy drama queen all freaking out about the MWK sweater. That’s what I’ve been working on the past couple of days; obsessing, researching, knitting, ripping and reknitting. Fortunately, today, the sky is NOT falling anymore. I’ve managed to sew the shoulder [...]

……..and The Dogs Who Love Them

October 14, 2005 Books

Forbes Forest is now on hold. I officially started another project yesterday 10/13/2005. It’s a pattern for Annie Modesitt’s book. I don’t think that I can say much about it, I’m not sure, so I won’t. I would have posted some random pictures of stuff if the camera at work was available. Somebody took it [...]
