So a long time ago, I meant to write a whole long post about how I’m an apathetic procrastinator, but then I thought, Why bother when there’s no real pressing reason to write said post?
Seriously. That may sound like a one-liner, but it actually happened.
And now today I can tell you that yes, I am an [...]
I’m rooting for the Saints. Just cuz. SUCK IT, HOOSIERS!
(Ok, so I was born in Indiana, but still).
Because you really, really want to know, and who am I to disappoint your curiosity?
This is the before:
Isn’t it so purdy?!?!
And here’s The Stash, v2.06. Some notable progress include using up most of my recycled sari silk on Christmas stockings, and using up all the Pearl Malabrigo on the wrap I showed you previously. Getting [...]
Something about birth, death and rebirth?

Because that’s really what crochet is, you know? Knots. Lots and lots of knots.
In fact, this is a wrap I made of hundreds of knots:
It’s made in the crosshair stitch from Malabrigo yarn. Five skeins of Malabrigo, beautiful beautiful Malabrigo, that the yarn fairy gave me for the 25th night of Hanukkah. This is the [...]
And here I thought NaBloPoMo stood for something about November, but then I started seeing all these PINK! blog buttons and the PINK! was so in my face (in a good way, because there is pink is only good) that I just had to learn more and what do you know? February is another NaBloPoMo. [...]
The one greatest, overarching goal I have for my life is to live my life well. Every breath I take is an ethical and moral decision.
Much has been said about the “staggering” “outpouring” of aid to Haiti. We Americans have patted ourselves on the back, oh yes we have. We think we are such good people, you know?
