I’ve not picked up my knitting today, because I am feeling the urge to make super-tiny stitch markers. Like, you see that picture? That’s a set of ten around a 5p (which is about the size of an American dime). I’m currently sorting out tiny beads for other sets, because why not. It’s soothing after a fashion. That’s really been… Read more »

I had a parcel to run to the post office, which means the usual looking for things to photograph. I found this particular pile of autumnal detritus attractive, so yanno, here ya go. Work was work, and afternoon was afternoon. I’m trying to unbury parts of my desk to find some of my crafting things that aren’t yarn, but I… Read more »

I was helping a friend with part of a toy pattern they were having problems with. Which means I now have a random dino spike-spine thing hanging on my desk. So why not put it on the ball of white wool and pretend it’s an egg or something silly. Life is always bettered for a touch of whimsy. Z has… Read more »

Batman has been a bit clingy lately. I’m not sure why, but I do my best to give him the affection he’s asking for. I love it when he gets up on the back of my chair, as he does it infrequently and it puts him in the best range for pets. I’d love it if I could encourage him… Read more »

If you were new to Poison’s acquaintance, you would think she had always been a naturally affectionate cat. In actuality, she was a very shy and skittish kitten; that she’s developed into an affection-demanding critter is kind of really awesome. Having said that, she came over and yelled at me until I got on the couch and put a pillow… Read more »

I noticed this morning that I had some laddering going on around the DPNs. Ladders. Me. That never happens, and I am mortally offended. *giggles* Having said that, I am nooot gonna pick it back. I’ll try to snug it up a bit when I’m doing all the darning, and otherwise, they’re like… armpit, so. The ‘another’ of the day… Read more »

I’m glad I’m only a couple of rows along on the first sleeve — because I’ve got to pick it back. I realised that I was doing the garter panel wrong because I wasn’t thinking about it. So I’mma sigh, and go tend to that. A part of me wishes I was crappy enough to just ignore it and call… Read more »

With my ‘big’ laptop on the mend, the matter of what game to grace it with came to the fore. So, perhaps unsurprisingly, the first thing that came to mind was yet another attempt at a Sims 3 legacy. I’ve got my founder created (poorly pictured), and she’s already found a trash-poor spouse to share her wall-less home with. They’ll have walls… Read more »

The wool for Littler’s jumper came in; as you might expect, she is thoroughly pleased with her rainbow. She’s a tiny bit miffed that I am not going to start on it immediately, but considering that I need to finish her sister’s jumper first… well. It won’t be too long, probably. Past that, hail hail the weekend! While Halloween was… Read more »
