Yay for Saturday

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 23:56:22 -0500

Today was super fun. I woke up, got ready, and Kobe helped me ice the cupcakes we made last night. It took freaking forever to get the icing ready, but it got done in time. Then we went to the yarn shop to drop some stuff off, and headed to the ...

Movies.

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:48:08 -0500

We went to see the new Harry Potter movie tonight. I have to say that I was quite disappointed. Extreme lack of knit wear, though I swear there was a reference put in there for us knitters. Also, it was too long winded for my liking. They could ha...

Anyone Else Remember

...when vox had QOTDs that were worth answering? I need a filler tonight, and this sponsorship nonsense is of no help to me. Soaked and set the twist in my first ever navajo ply yarn today. I'll post pictures tomorrow when it's dry. Went to kn...

Episode #13 of the podcast is up and ready for listening, you can find all the info here. Other than that, today wasn't too eventful. I cleaned the bathroom and living room, and navajo plied yarn for the first time, and that was cool. But, other...

Another Monday.

Hey all. I'm home, and back into the groove. Today was an interesting day. Woke up to wet work clothes, so I threw those in the dryer and ate cake and played on line in my towel while waiting for them to dry. :) It would have been quite the pict...

Tonight was knit night. We met at Heather's house and so Stella came. Aaaand. So I finished the 1st 4 oz of Tammy's gift yarn. I am so excited to spin the 2nd batch. The coloring is different and will be a lot more exciting for me. But, I am reall...

Spinning!

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 17:44:25 -0600

After commenting back and fourth with Ellie, I realized that my newer readers have no idea what kind of spinning I do. You may think I'm looking forward to exercising, and that would be a bold faced lie. Instead, my kind of spinning is taking tuff...

6 More Weeks?

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:52:30 -0600

I sure hope not. Today was a pretty good day. I cleaned most of the house. Still need to clean the kitchen counters and the bathroom, but I feel like I did a lot today. I also got a present in the mail from Leslie!!! These pictures don't even ...

First Spun & Plied Yarn Of 2009

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 22:15:35 -0600

Yep, I finally finished Heather's Birthmas Yarn!!! As you can see from the last picture, I have a considerable amount of one bobbin left. I think, per Heather's idea, that I'll save it and make a Franken-skien later on. It could be fun. :) ...

Heather's Yarn

nobody@vox.com(Design Shark) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:28:43 -0600

Today I finished spinning the laceweight singles for Heather's yarn and started to ply. This has been my first time plying 2 actual-laceweight singles together. It has also been my first lesson of "plying two laceweight singles takes FOREVER". I'm...
