My kittencorn randomly fell off its shelf, which I took to be a ‘pet me now!’ sort of move. I know, it’s not real, it’s a toy, but what’s life without a bit of whimsy? And really, it plays into the fact I have been in a ridiculously good mood. By most metrics, I shouldn’t be. I forgot to take… Read more »

My hand continues to be turned in the crochet way. I’ve been using an ergonomic hook, though I don’t think it’s making much of a difference one way or the other. I crochet really weirdly, like… the hook moves, not the yarn. I’ve only run into one other person who does it that way, but who knows. Maybe there are… Read more »

I got an urge to make a few bits for my shop today. Or well, make bits, and then eventually get them into my shop. I restocked the rainbow bracelets that people love so much, and made a couple pairs of earrings that I’ve been meaning to science out for a few months now. My ‘test audience’ (aka, showing it… Read more »

We got called around to see Z’s parents today because their freezer is on the blink, could we help them look for a new one. So Z sat with them at his laptop and they looked at a few options, before deciding to replace like-for-like. It’s still keeping some degree of cold, but Mum wanted to get some of her… Read more »

I’d commented to Z that it would be cool to get some faerie lights to hang around my ‘window’ here in the lounge. So, of course, a set showed up a few days later to surprise me. Having said that, he’d been talking before that on doing something akin to the girls’ desks, so yanno, same page. And he did… Read more »

The sun has been making itself known today. I grumbled to Z earlier that the sun was coming through my window, and wasn’t that just rude. But on the whole, it’s been a pleasant day weather-wise, and I enjoyed my quick jaunt to the postbox and back. After that, we popped around to see Z’s parents, as it was his… Read more »

Z and I were pottering around this morning, getting into work mode, when the internet went down. It’s like, oh… and yeah, even the modem was red and angry. tl;dr, they were doing work on the main cable on the main road, and it took out pretty much everyone in the village. We were worried that it was gonna be… Read more »

My new needles came in today! So now they’re loaded up in my pretty case, and I made labels for each pocketeses. I’ve got bigger ones tucked behind the top row ’cause there was ‘only’ 9 pockets for circulars. There’s other pockets that are useful for other things, but I haven’t decided if I want to move any of my… Read more »

So yeah, squares continue, and I’ve got wool caked up to start on a pair of socks for Smaller. It’s funny — she’d asked me to make her a pair, not knowing that I was already planning to. I’ve waved the wool at her several times, to include us having a headbutting it at each other game. I look forward… Read more »

I‘ve decided the next crochet blanketing will be done square-wise. They’re coming up at about 7 and a half inches right now, which seems a pretty spiff size. I’ve done them in double crochet (US reckoning), and am trying a triple crochet to see if I like how that comes up, slash if I can do it any faster than… Read more »
