Stage One: Done

      No Comments on Stage One: Done

I cast off on the front half of my top a little bit ago, and started casting on for the back half. Then it was dinner time and now I’m just sort of a fooded blob of zoning out. I can’t say that I mind, not really. It’s a comfortable place to be. I can hope it translates to better… Read more »

Armvee

Today’s picture is the armhole shaping of my top. It’s simple and attractive, two features I like in my knitting. I’ve made myself put down the 2DS and do a bit of knitting instead of Pokemonning, so yanno, a bit of progress. It also helps that I ‘won’ Farm For Your Life, so that itch is scratched for the time… Read more »

Pew Pew

Today started as one of those days where everything was getting on my tits. The girls, bless ’em, were already bouncing off the walls and going full tilt, while I could barely keep my train of thought on the rails. I ended up getting a bit snappish because please dears, let your mother have some caffeine. But nobody died, I… Read more »

Back to the Start Again

      No Comments on Back to the Start Again

Start? End? Middle? I’m really not sure what the right descriptor word is in this situation, ha ha. The point is I’ve caught up on what I messed up on, and the only reason I’ve not gotten past that is that I’m feeling lazy about switching needles. Instead, I’m poking at Farm For Your Life, albeit on peaceful mode. It’s… Read more »

Turn It Around

So yeah, I had to pull out my knitting yesterday and start over. I’ve been busting hump on it today, and I’m about halfway through making up what I had to undo. My arms feel a combination of beefy and sore from wrasslin’ with chunky wool, but I’m (knock on wood) not doing myself too bad a damage. It’s hard… Read more »

Starting Over

      No Comments on Starting Over

I was working on my knitting earlier. It had reached the length that it was supposed to be. I had done the math for the start of the next section. I went to switch to the larger needles… and I’d been using them the whole time. Whups. So I had to pull back all my progress, re-cake my wool, and… Read more »

Moon Power

      No Comments on Moon Power

For my sins, I have never given any iteration of Sailor Moon a fair shake. I saw the first episode when I was a kid and didn’t know it was the first episode, so I was super put off by Usagi sitting down and crying until someone helped her. I should probably go back and watch it because it’s probably… Read more »

Give a Hoot

Yes yes, I know, again with the terrible jokes. This is a section of my other, less used purse. I love it, but it needed surgery to be appropriately useful. Thankfully, said surgery was completed in the last couple of day, so I think I’ll switch my stuff over to it for a bit and let it be my primary…. Read more »

Wide

After a bit of fiddling to make hair and tail occur on my unicorn, I declared her completely done this morning. I had to stop knitting because my back and shoulders started aching. They’ve been really crappy all day, even with pain meds thrown at them. Knitting in chunky tends to bother it more than most other knitting, so I’ve… Read more »

Nearly There

      No Comments on Nearly There

I’ve been slowly plugging at my sewing all day, and the unicorn is nearly done. I just have to sew in the blue star (which ended up looking more like a flower), and then start threading the hair and mane in. I don’t know how tedious that may or may not be, but I guess I will see when I… Read more »
