Return of the Knitting

Hello, crafty and sundry! It’s a huge relief for November to be over. Even if I won NaNoWriMo on the 19th, and wrote ‘The End’ on the 21st, the rest of the month has totally been a cooling down period. I’ve refrained from thoughts of writing beyond my daily efforts (my private blog and my …

NaNoWriMo: Done and Dusted!

Hello, crafty and sundry! Hrm, the header is probably a bit of a giveaway, but — I did it. I won NaNoWriMo again. I hit 50k on the 19th, and wrote ‘the end’ on the 21st… just in time for the weekend, hee hee. If anyone is interested in reading it, I’ll be turning it …

Not Much Knitting, Very Much Writing

Hello, crafty and sundry! I’ve continued to keep very busy with NaNoWriMo. I’m still in the game somehow, and am actually pulling ahead of pace to build a nice buffer. I’m still not sure where I’m going with it, but it’s continuing to be fun. It’s been just about all I’ve been doing though. I’ve …

Nearly There

Hello, crafty and sundry! I’ve been not that knitty lately. Instead, I’ve been hunkering down and playing Minecraft, and working on the Decade of Malevolence contest for Evil Genius Online. I’m a huge fan of the original Evil Genius, so I’ve been playing that a bit too while grinding for the competition. I’m still debating …

Continue in Pattern Five Million Times

It seemed like I would never finish the top of this top that I mentioned in my last post. I’ve done it before, but it was for a size years smaller, so it knitted up faster. Around and around I went, making raglan increases. Mind, it’s a pretty neat way to start a top from …

Stitching, Bitching, Love

  I am, for the most part, a very happy introvert. I stay in my little nest doing my own thing, and it brings me much contentment. But of course, all humans need actual, in person interaction. So to get that fix, I go to a local Stitch ‘n Bitch group once ever other week. …
