Watch my life unravel...
|
The Sock I tried. Really I did. And then I put it away, at least for awhile. I’m going to try again after Christmas. When things settle down. When I settle down. Meanwhile… I knit a baby hat for Chelsea from some silky Lion & Lamb I had in my stash. It was a very soothing knitting […]
The sock, two days ago So. This morning I’m sitting on my couch listening to a podcast of This American Life, and knitting a sock. It’s a slipped stitch sock. I’m getting close to the toe; it’s just a few hours away from done. I decide to set aside my knitting for a moment […] Thanks for putting up with my whining yesterday. I’m feeling a little better today. Just admitting it and writing it down seemed to help. And the comments were comforting too. Today I’m back to looking at the bright side, at least intermittently.

I’m going to present myself at the Civic Hospital, where I’ll be wheeled into a gleaming operating theatre and fixed. My surgeon has booked the theatre for me from 8:00 am to 11:45. This is a bit odd, since last week – for […] Today I’m going to clean my underwear drawer. That’s because I just had a dream in which GC decided to surprise me by inviting everybody over to clean my underwear drawer. I arrived home and found my bedroom full of former bosses, ex-boyfriends, neighbours, relatives, friends, all kinds of people equipped with all kinds of […] I was poking around on Ravelry, looking for things to knit, and I came across the Chevron, which sounds like a car but is really a scarf. I’m a little late to the Chevron party, because it seems every single knitter in the world has already discovered and knit it. But that doesn’t matter.
