Peeking out from trying to study to let you know that my friend Cat’s ace new magazine, Snippets, is online.

I’ll be back to actually blogging next week. Right now I have to get back to trying to cram my (rather opinionated) thoughts on a vast subject into a 3000 word limit. The question (?Even [...]

My head just isn’t that asymmetrical.? Which normally is a good thing.

After going to four shops I did at least find enough safety pins. So when I convince myself to go back to this I’ll be prepared. That’s something, right?
For now I think it’s back to swatching new yarns for me. Hand Knit may have [...]

Ha, sorry for the silly title. Apparently I’m in a somewhat silly mood. Handed an essay in yesterday, so 3 final things to go :) I’ve got an exam on Tuesday, so until then I have to read lots of Victorian Comedy (oh so entertaining!) which means I get to work on the hoodie while [...]

Unfortunately, most of my courses this year were on 20th C literature that isn’t on Librivox because it’s still in copyright. Some of the other books for my Victorian comedy course are [...]

Expect a finished object post soon, if I can convince the bunnies to give up their new friend.

My flat is actually, mostly, spring cleaned, and I’ve started studying for finals.
I found some nice yarns while cleaning, and had a few random balls of yarn that I bought specifically just to try. So on Monday I settled down to study, while knitting swatches. This was the first, Rowan Bamboo Soft. Which feels [...]
