(tap tap tap…is this thing on?)
So…apparently I have a web site – the best kind of unexpected and wonderful surprise! I feel entirely invigorated to post but also completely tongue-tied and fairly certain no one is going to be reading it! Well, I know two people who will read it.
Wait, three.
So suddenly I have so much to do…pictures [...]

Massive picture-heavy post!
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians today – I hope your day is full of turkey and family (for some) and sleep and rest (for the others). I personally spent last night sleeping at the hospital wired up to within an inch of my life for a sleep study to see if I’ve [...]

I have no pictures, no knitting, no nothing for you as I only seem to be able to sit on my couch and stare off into space these days. Oh and the 10 bloody pages on the passé composé I did last night – trust the french to turn something as simple as [...]

Hey all – long time no write! Summer sucked me in and spit me back out again – I can’t believe September is already here – packing lunches and homework again. Neither of these two activities rates high on my list of favourties due to the amount of knitting time lost during a [...]

So I’m going to curb my enthusiasm a bit and focus on one thing at a time.
The stuff that’s hit my mailbox this [...]
Yep – no pictures today – mostly because it hasn’t stopped raining since the weekend. So instead I will answer a meme I kind of self-tagged myself with by reading indigodragonfly’s blog (go visit but consider yourself duly warned)…
1) What was I doing ten years ago?Nursing a 6 month old…staggering through my life in [...]
You know how one day you walk into your house and suddenly realize that the fact that your couch has been against the same wall for YEARS is irritating as hell? Or suddenly your books have to be re-organized – maybe by colour this time instead of height? (except fibre books – they still belong [...]
First of all…a little instructional bit for the non-knitting readers who read this blog…all four of them. The rest of you may skip down below the line for the actual adventure.
Righto – the bent needle on the right is a cable needle. The obsessive types who prefer to make their own sweaters instead of doing [...]
