I finished up my Vivid Shawl finally. It was pretty much my only knitting during vacation just because it was easy to do while watching tv and talking to family. It’s done using my handspun yarns from the fiber I got from Cloverleaf Farms at MSW a few years ago. It’s the perfect size for [...]

We are officially on vacation! Wooooo. I have been looking forward to this for months now and now that we are here, and unpacked and ready to just enjoy our week, I think I will! We are staying at the same place we stayed in 06, so while yes, I could go out and take [...]

I went and turned in the car and the person who checked me in was one of the managers. She was very nice and while she couldn’t go back in time and make it like it never happened, she addressed all of my concerns and did everything she could to make amends and I am [...]

OK so my old IM name is officially gone with the wind. I’ve restored my contacts list from log history, but since I rarely actually IM anyone but shmoo, most people probably don’t have it. Comment/email me if you need the new one.

It appears my AIM login has been hacked. Why someone would bother, I cannot tell you. I’ve had it for years, and it’s not even that interesting of a name… So if you are trying to reach me on AIM, it’s probably not me.

I’ve made some progress on the leafy book cover. I also cast on for a mitten and am just past the thumb gusset. I’ve crocheted a kitchen rag, and started Boteh. Crochet is good for watching TV btw. If the dog steps on the yarn or I set it down, and the needle comes out, [...]

That was me last night. I had to rip my Tapestry Cowl. I loved the yarn colors, and the way it was knitting up, and the way it felt, and the pattern is well written and I LIKE double knitting….. But the colors just didn’t contrast enough to show the pattern. And really… if something [...]

So it turns out that if you expect to actually use the pictures you took last week to post on your blog… you need to charge the damned battery. Photos (and even an FO!) soon as I find the charger.

Shmoocon 09 is over. And while it didn’t suck, it also wasn’t a day on the beach either. I met some nice new folks though, and made friends out of acquaintances. So it waz gud. I had an issue with hives again this year though. Previously this went unnoticed due to being sick and thinking [...]

I got new hairs today. I went very blond with bubblegum pink highlights and a banging slanted bob cut. This is a picture of it taken in the crappy lighting of my cubicle from photobooth.
