In my Etsy obsessive state, I created a second shop last Friday. I decided I’d like to have a place where I can better and more clearly market my eco-friendly items. So far I’ve listed 3 sets of eco-friendly reusable dish cloths (see below), one of which has sold! I may not get to really [...]

I’ll think pretty highly of you. Ok, it’s honestly not that hard to tell what it is, right? What sucks is having a coffee machine that’s black and a clear pot because you don’t notice that there’s coffee left in it until the above occurs, at which point it startles and disgusts you, and then [...]

Second attempt at intarsia, and my first completed Swimmy: Here’s Swimmy’s story if you, like myself, never heard it before:

I’ve had the Beta Band stuck in my head for a few days now, ever since watching High Fidelity for the umpteenth time. This led me to play the song for John to see if he could guess where it’s from (he only just saw High Fidelity for the first time during this latest viewing [...]

It’s been too long since I tried to learn any new knitting methods. I hit a knitting wall for a while there, which is surprisingly soft and cozy, which is probably the reason I never really felt the need to stop hitting it… So anyhow, I decided I need to up my game and get [...]
