With Littler home sick, Batman’s neediness cranks up to 13. This was me playing with the new camera, whose viewscreen flips up so you can see yourself for photographing selfies. I won’t claim that it’s the most inspired bit of photography, but ah well. Practice makes perfect, etc. Littler, as said, was home with me again today. She’s kept herself… Read more »

I applied myself pretty well to getting some knitting done today. My end-of-day goal is to get back to a red stripe, which should be easy enough to complete. I also had the future owner of this jumper at home today. Apparently, she caught whatever lurgy has been going around her class; one of her dear friends was out most… Read more »

It’s not a hat, nor would you find a Browncoat in it. It’s the starting couple of rows of Smaller’s jumper! I’m doing six stitches in each colour row, so it’s gonna feel like it’s building quickly enough. That, and cleaning my desk have been my main tasks today. Since Baby was still in my backpack from yesterday, I worked… Read more »

It’s a super overcast day today, which. At least it wasn’t raining too much while we were on the road? I managed to make myself immediately ill by trying to do some sewing in the car… won’t be doing that again, heh. But having said that, I’ve got Small’s jumper finished off now. We’re visiting R and fam, so I… Read more »

I have just cast off the second sleeve on the jumper, woo hoo! Now I have elevently billion ends and imperfections to take care of, le sigh. It probably will take less time than I think that it will, but it’s still ‘work’. At least we’re to this last stage in a reasonable time frame. At least I’ve already got… Read more »

My new camera arrived bright and early this morning. As far as I can tell, the only thing that was ‘wrong’ with it was that the steal had been broken on the box at some point in the past. I am nooot going to complain about saving £100 over something so minor, and would’ve been happy with it being scratched… Read more »

My fingers are freezy cold this evening. Having said that, the current wind chill outside is literally freezing, so. It both delights and annoys me that the temps are dipping lower than predicted. I vastly prefer to be chilly over too warm, but anyways. It *is* the latter half of November already, so really, what was I supposed to expect?… Read more »

We woke up this morning to unexpected sub-freezing temps, and a rather hard frost. I’ve had Mortal Combat-based humour in my head all day as a result, and Z has been happy that he did needed gardening yesterday. For the moment, I’m being mildly annoyed by photography. Even though I work hard to provide adequate light and a good clean setting,… Read more »

People are surprisingly on the ball here about getting the leaves up; I only saw a few scattered across the pavement and grass when I was out earlier. Which isn’t to say that the trees are already fully denuded, just that the air is bitey and already in what my brain considers ‘Texas winter’ range. Otherwise, I’ve spent the day… Read more »

So yeah, this weekend has basically been me making ALL THE STITCH MARKERS again, ha ha. The bits of paper on top of Baby refer to different sizes; I’m attempting to make for specific sizes, but sometimes things work out a bit smaller. So that’s giving me some nice offcuts to sell (at a probably reduced price). That’s really about… Read more »
