Only a Week Late 20 Jan 2013 | 05:34 pm
So much for a resolution to blog more regularly! (Well, in my mind, I thought "once a week, usually on the weekend." Reality is, "when I get to it!") To the right is the pitiful pile of FOs since las...
Off to a Good Start 6 Jan 2013 | 07:05 am
Resolved: to post more regularly. Eyes right: first woven project off the Flip in 2013. Three cotton dish towels in an unmercerized cotton purchased (I think) from Webs and aged nicely in stash. Fin...
What a year! 1 Jan 2013 | 07:13 am
I've been keeping track of my yarn usage for the last 11 years. I've been posting those totals here for at least the last six. And this year is no exception. Despite my missteps of blogging, I have ac...
It's Been a Long, Long Time 29 Dec 2012 | 09:43 pm
I've been away from the blog for so long that I had to think long and hard about how to download photos (especially since Kodak has gone belly-up) and then, to figure out how to log in to Blogger. So...

The Tiny Prince Original needs a new Wallaby! He's outgrown his last one (red, his favorite color). Mammo (that would be I) pulled out the yarn and the pattern, then decided to knit up a similar swe...
The Work of the Weavers Encore 15 Apr 2012 | 06:04 am
I love that song! The cadence is perfect for shuttle throwing. Just set up the Flip with my latest scarf project. I am attempting to use some pretty nifty odd balls and grab bag finds to make pretti...
Knitting With My Eyes Closed--Again! 12 Mar 2012 | 12:58 am
Younger Kid (who ain't all that young) was back to shop at the Baby Store of Mom (tm) last week. Seems his buddy (the Oakland Raiders fan) just became a papa for the second time. There being no suita...
Thinking Pink 5 Mar 2012 | 06:34 am
New family baby on the way. It's a girl. And you know what that means. Tiny Pink Things. This one is for the Tiny Princes' Hypothetical Girl Cousin (due in May). It's called Baby's Bamboo Single...
