My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Monday, June 18, 2012. It has been a busy couple of weeks and things won't be slowing down anytime soon. I usually try not to schedule stuff two weekends in a row because I like to reserve every other weekend to catch up on podcasts, reading, television shows and knitting. However I managed to book my weekends solid from June 2nd to July 8th. You know what the other secret to staying out all night and walking laps is?

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. The best part about traveling is the extra time that I have to knit. I don't have any distractions (I'm looking at you, internet.) so I get a fair bit of knitting done. I am knitting on a Monster Cowl out of yarn from Another Crafty Girl. If you haven't tried her worsted yarn, you should. It is a dream to work with. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Oh the places I've been. WIP it, whip it good.

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. I am working on, you guessed it, another cowl. It is the Incus cowl. Which is part of the Trio of Cowls ebook by Kirsten Kapur. I am looking forward to this finished cowl because it should be big and cuddly, even though I am a little short on yardage so I will probably only be able to do nine cable repeats instead of the ten called for in the pattern. I am using Socks that Rocks. Friday, May 4, 2012.

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Monday, March 31, 2014. Leveling Up My Knitting Skills. I just love it when I learn a new knitting skill! Well, I don't know that it is actually a knitting skill so much as it is a yarn skill but since I use it in my knitting, I'm just calling it a knitting skill. I stumbled across this technique in the Haka. Pattern by Lee Meredith (you may know her as leethalknits. I knew I had to give it a shot. The tutorial is genius!

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Nerd Wars T9 R3 Recap. I had a very successful third round for Nerd Wars. I completed projects for every category which in Nerd Wars parlance means that I dwarfed the nebula. This is the first time in the three tournaments of Nerd Wars that I participated in that I managed to answer all of the challenges. One of the captains of Team Most Amused. Encyclopedia and Team Unity Project. I snapped som...

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Wow, I really fell off the blogging wagon. Here is the knitting stuff that you missed. I knit a lot of hats and a few cowls and one random pair of slippers for a Nerd Wars challenge. Nerd Wars doesn't exist any more so I am now just knitting whatever makes me happy. I have quiet a few works in progress that will hopefully be finished sometime in 2015 but who knows. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Monday, April 14, 2014. Nerd Wars Tournament Ten, Round Two. I managed to finish three projects for this round of Nerd Wars. Without further ado, here are the badges that I earned for round two and the projects that I knit. The challenge was to craft something inspired by the rocks that are studied by geologists. I knit a red hat inspired by rubies. It is the Giving Comfort. It is the Owl Cowl. Please pardon the quality of...

My ramblings about friends, family, knitting, reading, and all the spices of life. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. At the end of June, I was lucky enough to attend SSK. Super Summer Knitogether). This was my first time attending a knitting retreat and I was a bit nervous about going since it involved 150 strangers and staying in a dorm room. Remember dorm rooms? However, I pulled on my big girls pants and didn't let my apprehension hold me back, and you know what? I took a colorwork class from Kirsten Kapur.
