Gluten Free Dog Biscuits

A couple of weeks ago, I glutenated myself on a couple of pieces of a chocolate bar. This was confusing as it was lactose and gluten free. Later, I had a few more pieces, and had no issues. After some thinking, I realized that I had given the dog some b… more »

Baby Sweater

I have finished the baby sweater for Tandi's baby. It is perfect. I am not taking pictures so as to prolong the suspense. Ha! This is the second sweater I have ever finished. I'd like to state for the record, I hate sleeves. more »

I think it's ugly

... but others like it. I've made an earflap hat for my stepdad. He has been requesting a warm earflap hat for years now, and I finally made one. I'll upload pics of the thing when I find my camera. more »

Linen is no fun to knit

I have switched to crochet for my market bag. Knitting this linen was hurting my hands too much. Pics when I find my camera. more »

Bears In Camp

Last year, Ada and I visited my Mom and her husband at their camp on Clear Creek. The weather was beautiful, Ada loved playing with their dog, and mostly I just tried to relax. I did do some fishing, and caught a silver. On the third night I was there… more »

Gerbil Cage = Zero Lot Line House

Read it in a Harry Dresden book (Small Favors). I like it just about as much as "Camazotz Neighborhood" (identical houses filling the block), from A Swiftly Tilting Planet. .... I must say that I love wikipedia sometimes. I just learned that Cam… more »

Something I whipped up a while ago

They would be a great gift. I wrote the pattern down, I need to test it to make sure it makes sense. Fortunately it's a pretty simple concept. If I ever get a good pattern going, I'll post it. more »

See, I can follow a pattern

Sometimes. If it's not boring. If it has graphs. And if it's small, like a hat!This is a gorgeous hat, it's the Gretel pattern by Ysolda. I will be making more, in different colors. I love it! more »

Obviously, I needed a new project

So I started a market bag with a ball of euroflax I had laying around. I couldn't find a pattern I liked, so I made one up. It's not looking all that bad so far. I wonder if I will have enough? I forgot how much I hate working with linen. It's hard on… more »

Some yarns look great in the skein

And terrible when knit. Behold the Psychedelic Camouflage Clapotis. So far the only person who's liked it is the Red/Green Colorblind guy. No really. I'm working on a chart for the clapotis. I'm not bothering with markers, I'm purling t… more »

Calming down

Well, I've calmed down some after a day has passed. I'm still pretty angry, but I don't have the anger of the last post. I'm still angry at being lied to about the picture. It's just rude and wrong. more »

I feel violated

Two weeks ago, I went to my favorite yarn shop to knit. There was a lady there, taking pictures. I asked her to not take pictures of me, and she agreed she wouldn't. OK, I thought. People are basically nice and good, right? I don't have to worry. S… more »
