Hello, crafty and sundry! I swear, one day I will stop with the cutesy rhyming titles. That day is obviously not today so… nyah nyah? 😀 But yes, I had the pleasure of finishing my cardigan off Tuesday night, just in time to show off at my Stitch ‘n Bitch group yesterday. I’m always …

Doll Parts: An Exercise in Knitting Procrastination
Hello, crafty and sundry! I have been knitting up a storm here in Ye Olde England, hee hee. I’ve been setting myself row challenges to encourage myself to speed through my cardigan, and I can report that I am so close to finishing it! All that remains is the last arm… which means I’m totally …
‘Toot Toot!’ Said the Flute
Hello, crafty and sundry! I’m pretty sure I’ve not mentioned it before here, but I am a multi instrumentalist. Oh okay was… a long time ago… when I actually had instruments and could practice them. *giggles* You see, I attended a prestigious art school for high school — Booker T. Washington High School for the …
Left, Right, Knit, Purl!
Hello, crafty and sundry! While most of my attention continues to be eaten up by Pokémon (I’m currently working on filling up the entire National Pokédex for once), I have been trying to make some sincere effort on my knitting as well. And not just normal, left-handed knitting — I’m also working on my right-handed …
Oooh, Shiny — Shiny Pokémon!
Hello, crafty and sundry! Yes, my Pokémon addiction continues to run amok. We even walked into town over the weekend so that I could pick up some codes for Shiny Charizards and Darkrais from our local Game store. I also found Black and Black 2 for a price comparable to what I would have paid …

And Suddenly, a Cardigan Appears!
Hello, crafty and sundry! I fell down the wormhole again… sorry about that. Computer problems tends to make me really bad about blogging ’cause the energy that would have happily gone to nattering about things gets eaten up by fret and stress. And also, it meant that I couldn’t get my gaming on in a …
Sock It to Me, Blockhead
Hello, crafty and sundry! I seem to have fallen down the wormhole, dreadfully sorry about that. But while I was there, I received all the pretty needles I ordered, and made my first pair of socks, one sock at a time: I looked around for good, friendly learner patterns, and decided on Just Plain Socks …
Around in a Circular… Double Pointed… Thing
Hello, crafty and sundry! I have to say, I’ve been having way too much fun lately. Of course, a part of that has been knitting up a storm. I finished my scarf in that really fun pattern, and suffices to say, I am well pleased with it. Of course, watch the winter continue to stay …
A Wild Scarf Appeared!
Hello, crafty and sundry! Now me, I couldn’t resist a Pokémon reference, hee hee. While I don’t have Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire yet, they’ll eventually make their way into my hot little hands. Because yanno, I’ve been addicted to the franchise for the entire almost 20 year span, so… gotta catch ’em all! Now, …
