Maybe it’s just me, but this head looks more leonine than ursine. Which is to say, I think it looks a bit more like a bear than a lion. Maybe it will come around more once I get it attached to the body — once I finish making the body. For the second, I am being really annoyed with Windows… Read more »

Lots of my pretties came in today, so I’m poking at ideas. I had prepped some Nymo, but was having a hard time making multi-stranding cooperate. In part, of course, ’cause I was trying to do two strands for each of the strands, which meant four equally cranky bits of monocord fighting for dominance. So I’m playing with ideas on… Read more »

Monday is my day off. I enjoy having the house to myself for a few hours, and decompress from life. So of course, I was bemused that I had an itch to log into work and get stuck in. This is an especial no-no right now, because I tend to run a high risk of pushing myself into a severe… Read more »

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 »
