As of a few minutes ago, I am done with the monkey. My wrists are slightly irate at me, but that’s more for balling up the oddments left after I finished rather than pushing myself to knit faster. I’m letting my wrists have a little rest now, but I will probably fish out the scrap blanket in a bit and… Read more »

I’ve been applying myself towards trying to finish the monkey toy for Smaller; she’s been gently reminding me that it needs doing. And as the filling I ordered came in, it’s not like I have the excuse of maybe running out. I… I won’t have that excuse for a long time, ha ha. I ordered a kilo bag, and it… Read more »

I had an order come in on my Etsy store this afternoon, so I had a lovely little stroll in borderline freezing temps. There wasn’t any sort of wind though, so it was rather pleasant. Of course, I missed the possible Transformer war, ha ha. There was abandoned white goods on both sides of the high street for some reason,… Read more »

Today can best be described as a day wherein I feel like I’m buried under a mountain of bricks and rubble. I woke up feeling rough, but managed to hold on long enough to get past the ‘go back to sleep forever’, and manage vaguely upright status. I’ve had a pretty productive day in spite of feeling like hell though,… Read more »

Deedlit (She of the Soaps, currently on sale) is an awesome sweetie, and picked up a few strands of semi-precious beads for me to play with. I have a few pennies to play with from doing YouGov surveys, so I’ve been taking my sweet time looking to see what sort of findings I want to get to play with. I… Read more »

I pulled out a handful of oddments to take with me to the party yesterday. I didn’t get through any of them, but they’re stacked and waiting on my desk now. So of course, I’ve shoved that all to the side for the moment, and am doing a few stuffed toy limbs as a change-up. I’m laughing at myself right… Read more »

My head has been out to kill me all freaking day. Which um, sucks, ’cause tonight is the party at the Village Hall, and we’re booked to go so Smalls can celebrate her birthday in style. Dance style. Granted, I’ve not taken any pain meds yet because I want to save them for when we actually do go out, so…. Read more »

For something that was supposed to be a side knit, this scrap blanket is growing at a healthy pace. A part of that is that I’ve tapered off working on the monkey. I’m almost out of toy stuffing, and while I probably have enough to see it through, I’d almost rather wait a few days for more to come in… Read more »

Littler had a playdate today, and her friend came with both parents equipped. Z had told me he thought they were a good match for us based on things he’d seen and talked about with them, and it was pretty cool to have that confirmed. They both knit and game to varying degrees, and seem to have similar senses of… Read more »

My new toy is home, and in situ. I’ve just closed the lid after getting a few basic things installed. You know, office suite, Minecraft — those sort of things. A part of me wants to put one of my more intense games on it to see what it can handle, but. It’s a small hard drive, even if we’re… Read more »
