“Does not knit well under pressure.”
That pretty much sums up how I’ve been feeling the last few weeks. It doesn’t help that just about everything I’m working on right now (knitting and other things) has to stay under wraps and is unbloggable.
I don’t even have any cute cat photos to distract you with [...]

For the last few years, I’ve done a little contest/giveaway for my birthday on August 1st. I think it’s fun and I always seem to get a good response to I guess some of you think it’s fun too!
(For the record, I turned 29 – for the first time, not the [...]

June has just been a whirlwind for me. Unfortunately this is what happens when summer is the busiest time at work. I have been knitting a little in the evenings, but I don’t have a photo of my current project yet so it will get it’s own post later. [...]

Just a quick note from work to say that we are moving this weekend! Hooray!
Please keep your fingers crossed that the weather holds out for the next few days. Moving is bad enough; I really don’t want to do this in the rain.
AT&T wasted no time disconnecting our phone and internet, so [...]

Last night, while watching DS9 with my husband, I finished up chart C of the (not so) Mystery Stole 3 and started on chart D.

It is growing very slowly. Even when I feel as if I have knit a lot, I can barely see any progress. At this rate, I’ll be [...]

I have done only small amounts of knitting this week, in between reading HP7 and fighting the dreaded summer cold. Blech.
(Oh, and I haven’t finished HP yet so shhh! No spoilers!)
I finally finished clue 1 on the mystery stole, and am looking forward to started clue 2 tonight. Now that I [...]

As much as I want to, I am not going to start reading it today. I have to leave in just a few hours for a BBQ and concert and don’t want to spend the whole night thinking about getting back to the book!
I have a feeling my knitting progress is going to slow [...]

I am back home and (mostly) recovered from my long weekend at the Chicagoland Speedway. I started my MS3 last night and am pleased with the results so far. I am not adding beads, mostly because I didn’t have any that looked nice with the yarn and I was too cheap/anxious [...]

My yarn for Mystery Stole 3 came yesterday in the mail. It is Knitpicks’ Shadow in “Sunset”. I am already hopelessly behind everyone else, but still looking forward to starting soon. Unfortunately, I am going to be away from home all weekend and won’t be able to start until at least Monday.
And [...]

Since I finished my mini-Clapotis, I have been without a project to work on. (What? No, you are supposed to ignore the pile of unfinished objects next to my chair.) While contemplating things I could start, I stumbled upon the Yarn Harlot’s post about joining Mystery Stole 3.
I had seen references to this [...]
