silent poetry reading!

I’ve been quite remiss with the blog posting recently- and even the reading of others’ actually.  So it was with great delight that I read some over today and saw that it was silent poetry reading day- and I didn’t miss it!  I usually do.  I managed to post last year, but I think I [...]

Turquoise bliss

Don’t you just love the word turquoise?  It’s such a foreign sounding word- and I just looked it up in Wikipedia and found out it’s a French word.  Probably used because the stone was traded in Turkish bazaars and that’s where the French came across it.  Anyway, I digress.  I just love the color of [...]

Finished Objects!

So I have actually been doing some knitting- in fact, a ton of knitting- since I got here to the Big Apple and I’ve finally finished some things.
Here are some socks I made from the STR that I bought at Rhinebeck. 

They’re in the colourway Spacedust.  They were a blast to knit and I can’t [...]

It works!

My sweet friend Bloomlikeflowers taught me how to add youtube video portals to my blog posts- and I am forever grateful!  Here’s another parkour video just to try out the new “skills”.

No longer exhausted!

I have been getting so much sleep lately that I may never be tired again.  Don’t you wish you could just store sleep up like pennies and break it out when you need it most?  I seem to be one of those people who needs a solid 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night, [...]

I’ve almost caught up with my life!

(edit: I wrote this back in July and apparently forgot to post it. So here it is a day late and a dollar short.)
And it’s been moving very fast lately.  The first week of July Ko and I went up to Montreal for the Jazz Fest- what a fab time.  I love that city and may [...]

Sleep, why hast thou forsaken me?

Dear Sleep,
You know I love you in the biggest way possible.  You are the only one in my life that I make time to be with for 7-8 hours everyday.  I don’t even do that for my husband or my cat or any other member of my family!  (Well, sometimes I spend that amount of [...]

Victory is mine- almost…

Here is that sweater that caused me so much grief.  It actually looks much better on, but my own personal photographer has gone away for the evening.  It’s very soft and squishy and will be the perfect thing to throw on when the nights get cooler- as soon as I actually finish it!

I know it [...]

February=disaster

Math books are actually going to start printing that equation.  Actually, it will read more like this: If Kylie knits a well thought out pattern in lovely yarn for February but decides to make a few changes, what does she get?  What if those changes involve completely redesigning the base of the sweater on the [...]
