Socks and Tops and Things
Hello, crafty and sundry! I have been having a lovely time of knitting-not-knitting. Which is to say, I -am- knitting, but it took a lot of not-knitting to get to that point. Socks Even though I had i mind to do start my next big project in the form of my Hobo top, I also …
The Cardigan is Done (And Onward we Run)
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 …
It’s a Good Weekend for Gamer Me!
Hello, crafty and sundry! This one is mainly for the gamer sorts, hee hee. In the past week or so, I have gotten massively hooked on the Tropico franchise. I’ve had 3 and 4 for awhile, but hadn’t really given it a good go. I’d poked at 3 briefly some months back, but the tutorials …

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 …
A Glorious Pokémon Failure
Hello, crafty and sundry! I’ve had my head down most of the weekend trying to make a decent showing in the Pokémon International Challenge. Suffices to say, I’m 99.9% sure that I will not be competing past this initial stage. Out of the 28 battles I completed, I won six. That’s about a fifth of …
