ADD knitting
I’ve felt all over the place lately. These last three weeks have been an utter blur. The Studio opened on Tuesday and I’ve been working pretty much non stop to get to the opening. Last weekend I was trying to get my Vanna Glamour shawl done for the opening night party. I looked at my […]
So Many Boxes . . .
It’s been ages since I’ve had a moment to blog. I’m up to my (&^% in boxes getting the Studio ready to open. I have managed to get sick for about a week in the middle of it all (yeah). The sucky part was missing the Yarn Harlot when she spoke at B & N […]
My First Perfect Fall Weekend of 2008
I’ve been working WAY too hard for the last four weeks. So, my boss forbade me to do any work this weekend. Being the good employee that I am . . . I listened to him. This resulted in a perfect Saturday in Brooklyn (and Sunday is starting out pretty nice too!). First we spent […]
Late Fall Harvest, Late Fall Tank Top
Summer is drawing to a close. Tomorrow is the first day of fall. Sigh. This time of year used to always fill me with anticipation of the coming season. For years as a kid it was the start of a new school year, then for 20 something years in theatre, it was the start of […]
Coming Up For Air (for a day)
The last two weeks have been insanely busy. I just got back from dropping my mom & sister off at the airport. It was a nice visit, but I’ve been so busy at work I didn’t get to spend as much time with them as I’d like. We had a great Brooklyn day yesterday. We […]
Product or Process
It’s been a couple of weeks full of surprises and gifts. A huge life change (more about that later) and being the recipient of a moment of pure generosity. Are you a product knitter or a process knitter? I am a little of both, but primarily I’m about the product. I want the garment. Sure, […]
A Very Special Visitor!
The other day my little roof deck was honored by a very special visitor. She was in town for just a day from the tour of Spamalot. She hasn’t been back in New York in ages, and I was thrilled she chose my little roof garden to visit. I’m speaking of course of Tallulah the […]
Summer’s Going Too Fast
Somehow it’s already the second week of August. How the hell did that happen? The whole month of June was eaten by work, then David and I went on our FAB vacation, home, family visits NY, then off to my family reunion, and boom, somehow the summer’s almost over. Okay, I’ve decided to try to […]
Swatching in Circles
It turns out my procrastination didn’t last as long as I thought. I actually finished the top a few days after my whining post about all the finishing I had to do. Once again I was kicking myself for mindlessly knitting a pattern without thinking, “why aren’t they . . .” or “I could just […]
Let The Procrastination Begin . . .
We do I insist on knitting things with so much finishing?? I hate finishing, and now I will look at these pieces for the next week, sew a few inches, and pick up some new knitting.
