Watch my life unravel...
|
I know, I know, you were expecting to see a little more knitting on a blog named knitnut.net, weren’t you? I DO knit, I just run out of things to say about knitting, so I only blog about it once in awhile. The flip side of this is that someone recently suggested I rename […] I’ve been asked by a couple of people how the Canadian Blog Awards affected my blog stats. Without a doubt they were a real shot in the arm. But, interestingly, the spin-off effects were more dramatic than the direct effects. If you take a look at the following chart you’ll see that the craziest, most dramatic […] This morning I considered not walking to work. It was minus twenty-eight degrees with the wind chill and it takes an hour and twenty minutes to walk to work. The combination just didn’t sound all that appealing. Besides, I do have that rare autoimmune disease that is triggered by getting too cold. And it’s not […] The Yarn Harlot mentioned me today!

I knew I had accumulated over 800 points at Yarn Forward over the past few years. You get a point for every dollar spent. And Yarn Forward wasn’t my only dealer – […] Ah, Winter! Every year it’s the same. I loathe it, I dread it, and then when it arrives I am briefly seduced by its dazzling beauty and freshness. I woke around 4:00 a.m this morning and on my way back from the bathroom I glimpsed the ghostly glow through the study window. Still half-asleep, I […] Real Men Knit Finally, there’s something useful we can do with our unfinished knitting projects – you know, the ones we meant to get back to but know we never will. Admit it, you have them too. I have six inches of the back of a silky sweater knit on tiny needles with the most incredibly luxurious, […] Before I moved, I knit these socks in Lorna’s Laces sock yarn in the Child’s Play colourway. They were finished except for the last 8 stitches, which had to be done in Kitchener Stitch, which required my sewing needle, which was unfindable in the chaos of moving. I knew I had deliberately not packed it, […] |
