  • KNIT THE HELL UP RECEIVES “YOU MAKE MY DAY AWARD”, PROCEEDS TO MAKE NOBODY’S DAY FOR WELL OVER A MONTH

    Looks like February went the way of October around here. The time away was used wisely, I promise. I passed my grad prelims and leveled up in crochet. If that looks like Chanson en Crochet to you, you’re on the right track. But, the awards! Carrie, Connie, and Claire all gave me the You Make…

  • Son of Stitch ‘N Bitch Book Signing: no pictures of the luchador mask. 🙁

    This is me with Debbie Stoller at her Dec. 10 book signing at Moe’s in Berkeley. We’re all Christmassy! I wish I had a better photo of her rad sweater, but let’s just get on with the post, shall we. Since I missed her Sacramento-area appearance, I and Davis’ Finest Knitters, Julia and Natalie, drove…

  • That kitten is totally depressed that Destash is over.

    So! A mere week after my request to join was accepted, Destash.blogspot.com is ending. Guess my plans to post destashable yarns this weekend are now null. In the wake of the announcement, I got a flurry of emails of people soliciting the use of the following sites: http://ysos.blogspot.com http://www.fortheloveofyarn.com/classifieds/index.php http://destashyourstash.wordpress.com/ and then the unknown quantity…

  • A Brief Return to Internetland

    It feels like gasping for breath. Our new place now has working interweb functionality, but tomorrow I’m headed to the ol’ family seat in NJ. I predict that there will be little web contact during that time. Lots of bowling, though. I’m hoping that all of the box-hauling I did this week has strengthened my…

  • Yep, this blog sure does bring the belated research.

    When Interweave Crochet goes quarterly, it too will have an editor who started out in internet-land: CrochetMe’s Kim Werker. The intent of this post is not at all to cast aspersions on the accomplishments of Eunny and Kim. God knows they deserve to be editors, and they both will do awesome jobs. Nay, the purpose…

  • Search Engines, Please Find Bitch Nation Lucky Clover Wrap Sweater.

    When I was preparing to start Lucky last week, I searched for finished ones on the internet and found very few. I’m sure that this is partly because almost nobody wants to make a wrap sweater on size-3 needles, but I also found this: A post about Lucky from split yarn in 2005. The important…

  • I bet you didn’t know that I ever left the sofa.

    I’m a very silent participant in Run-a-go-go. Not only have I not managed to put this “I’m in the club!” graphic on my site in the last month or so, I haven’t logged in to runagogo.com to adjust my status in about 40 miles. Something about their epic group running blog with hundreds of users…

  • Why Gamercraft Would Totally Rock

    I’ve only just realized this year that I’m a huge fan of niche self-organization within the knitting community. In college I thought that knitting was the universal language of friendship, but duh, the only knitters I met were other college students living in a designated nerd dorm. Today there are no shortage of loud and…
