Monthly Archives: November 2019

My fingers are freezy cold this evening. Having said that, the current wind chill outside is literally freezing, so. It both delights and annoys me that the temps are dipping lower than predicted. I vastly prefer to be chilly over too warm, but anyways. It *is* the latter half of November already, so really, what was I supposed to expect?… Read more »

We woke up this morning to unexpected sub-freezing temps, and a rather hard frost. I’ve had Mortal Combat-based humour in my head all day as a result, and Z has been happy that he did needed gardening yesterday. For the moment, I’m being mildly annoyed by photography. Even though I work hard to provide adequate light and a good clean setting,… Read more »

People are surprisingly on the ball here about getting the leaves up; I only saw a few scattered across the pavement and grass when I was out earlier. Which isn’t to say that the trees are already fully denuded, just that the air is bitey and already in what my brain considers ‘Texas winter’ range. Otherwise, I’ve spent the day… Read more »

So yeah, this weekend has basically been me making ALL THE STITCH MARKERS again, ha ha. The bits of paper on top of Baby refer to different sizes; I’m attempting to make for specific sizes, but sometimes things work out a bit smaller. So that’s giving me some nice offcuts to sell (at a probably reduced price). That’s really about… Read more »

I reached the point of yass last night in my knitting; I got to the cuff at the end of the first sleeve. I’m not done with it yet, but I should be able to knock that out and get started on the next sleeve tonight (all things being equal). Having said that, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are out, and… Read more »

I have to say, the little pots I bought on a whim to put stitch markers in are perfect. They’re screw-on, so there’s that extra security of them staying put. Z commented that we could potentially get some labels to add to the top, and we could. I’m certainly tempted, even if the labels of the right size are like,… Read more »

I was absent-mindedly collecting some Pokémon in Pokémon Go earlier; one of the mission tasks is to collect 108 of the blighters. I was super amused to look down and realise I’d picked up a shiny without noticing. I was then slightly annoyed that it couldn’t’ve saved its shininess until I collected the next Pokémon on the map… not that it… Read more »

I’m waffling on what I want/’need’ to do this evening. Ideally, I’d get the stitch markers I made yesterday photographed. But also, I’ve neglected my knitting for a couple of days and cooler weather is definitely making its bite known now. With the former, there’s also the continued desire to make markers, but I won’t have the rings in for… Read more »

I have spent the bulk of the day making tiny stitch markers. These are firmly in the lace/sock knitting arena, and ‘Fruit Salad’ is going to be the overarching name for this ‘range’. Granted, it’s not what you’d traditionally find in a fruit salad, but that’s less the point. *chuckles* I’ve also ordered a few bits, like more jump rings,… Read more »

I have, finally, managed to get my head around the beginnings of reorganising my extended workspace. I’ve also done some reorganisation on my Etsy page, which has given me a better idea of what size needles I need to plump out. Like, 4mm is a super common size that people use, but pretty much everything I have in shop is… Read more »
