Today has been… eh. The broadband at the office was at a super-crawl on the upload, which meant that my ability to work was severely hampered. It started picking up towards the end of the work day, but yanno, time lost. It will hopefully be better tomorrow, but we’ll see when tomorrow comes. I’ve not done much crafting yet, but… Read more »

Again and Again

I’ve finished the knitting of the hat, but I keep cacking up the sewing slightly. It’s not the end of the world because it’s not like it takes that long, but it’s still annoying. It also doesn’t help that I ‘have’ to do it top to bottom to get it to line up right and make the top look properly… Read more »

The Flip Side

I decided I was going to try to focus my efforts on getting the blanket finished. It takes up a lot of space in my crafting area, so getting it done and moved off would be a Good Thing™®. It’s pleasant to look upon and I was starting to get a good pace before we hit dinnertime. Hopefully I can… Read more »

Cats being cute is always camera fodder. Cat glaring at me because I dare bother her even from across the room? Even better. *laughs* She held that pose for a long slow count of ten before shifting; I guess I am a chagrined servant of the furry overlord, ha ha. I guess I wasn’t paying her enough attention, as I… Read more »

Making a Start

I made myself sit down and get started on weaving in the ends. I’m going to be at it for some time, but it always goes more quickly than I think it’s going to once I get a start. Of course, it would help if I don’t lose my needle… Today has been a balance between bits of self-care, and… Read more »

One and a Bit

As it stands right now, I have one row and a ‘square’ remaining on the main work of my blanket. I should probably buckle down and get it done, but Skyrim. *chuckles* It’s been really nice getting back into it and being reminded of why the memes are hilarious (not that I had forgotten per se, but they’re a bit… Read more »

After doing a few rows of a gauge square and going meh, I decided to go ahead and get the first couple of rows of sockage started. This is all of a row and a half in, but mainly I just wanted to get it started before going out tonight. That way, I have the choice between working on the… Read more »

Outward

I’m happy with the continued growth of the blanket. I’m currently attaching the 18th ‘square’, so nearly halfway there (if I want it all to be one blanket, which might end up being the case). I need to stop and think about what direction I’m going with it, which is to say, what sort of dimensions am I aiming for…. Read more »

Coming Along

After some false starts (and then more false starts), I’m starting to make some good progress on joining up the ‘squares’. I’m currently attaching the 11th, which heeeey. Not bad. I’m thinking this is going to be joined up faster than I thought… then comes weaving in the five million ends. Blergh. But let’s be honest, that normally goes fairly… Read more »

We were sitting here a bit ago, when suddenly the power went. It didn’t go everywhere-everywhere; all the plugs here in the lounge worked, if nothing else. Z dug his way to the fuse box and got things back up, but then realised what the likely culprit was — the oven. The heating unit appears to have gone which is… Read more »
