OTTLite Came Through

April 27, 2010 Blog

About a week ago, I expressed my frustration on here about OTTLite and their customer service.  I love the light that OTT Lite produces, but not so much after trying to get some answers about a burnt out bulb from customer support.

Thumbnail image for Don’s Vest – Interim Pictures

Phew, finally finished Don’s Vest by Joyce Williams from Latvian Dreams.  The vest is just fresh out of the washing machine and blocking now. I thought I’d take a couple of ‘blocking’ pictures because I am so stoked how it turned out.  I really really like it.  I paid EXTREME attention to the finishing of this [...]

April 18, 2010 Knitting - General

Yowsers!  All is good, the scissors went all the way through the fabric and the yarn frayed out a little, but 2 things [...]

Spring Cleaning

March 5, 2009 Knitting - General

So, after last night’s debacle, I woke up this morning with a hint of realization that maybe that little tantrum I had was necessary. It got me thinking, knitting is supposed to be pleasurable, you are supposed to love the yarn that you’re working with, you’re supposed to be mesmerized by what your hands are [...]
