I broke my yarn diet again this weekend, and I’ve come to the conclusion that my self-imposed “diet” was the result of a moment of panic. See, some few months ago I would buy things willy-nilly, not considering whether or not I had the money for it. I realised my ‘pleasure’ budget had started cutting into [...]

Lethargy
I think a lot of people can relate when I tell you that I look at the window, look around my room, think of all the things I have to do and go “meh”. I would rather sleep and watch TV and eat unhealthy things. I don’t want to go outside because it’s cold and [...]

NaNoWriMo and NaNoBloMo
I’ve decided to do both of those. In case you don’t know what it is, they are National Novel Writing Month and National Blog Post Month which run in November (and not some kind of weird prescription drug). I’m not sure why I think this is a) a good idea and b) doable while keeping my sanity intact, [...]

Unearthed
I just pulled 3 old projects out from under the bed. Emily, 28thirty and my dad’s mittens. They’re all pretty wrinkly. I plan to finish Emily soon. I’m not going to put a time-frame on it as I’d never be able to keep it. The 28thirty is going in the frog pond and the yarn [...]

Back at it
I’m back in my apartment, once again, after what can only be described as The Most Amazing Weekend, Ever. Of course, as luck would have it, I forgot my camera. I realised this on the train on the way to MIL’s house. I was pretty upset about it, but what can you do, right?
The trip [...]

A rare luxury
Me and Martin are leaving tomorrow morning to check into a very nice hotel for a weekend of shopping and pampering. For our 2 year anniversary we talked about going to a massage/spa salon but we couldn’t agree on the kind of treatment we wanted. Some time ago I fell across a great offer for a [...]

Knitting progress
I promised you knitting progress, so I’m giving you knitting progress! I have indeed been knitting quite a bit the past few weeks. It’s a nice feeling, using stash yarn. I especially like the yarn I’m using to knit my Tangled Yoke Cardigan.
I’m quite a bit further along now – just a few rows from [...]

Getting better
Things seem to be getting better lately. I’m a lot happier. I’ve stopped taking my anti-depressants because they kept me in this weird mood limbo where I was never happy and never sad (I actually prefer the hefty mood swings I have sometimes!), plus they were killing off my concentration and my libido. I’d rather [...]

I’m up to 101
That’s right. Ravelry just informed that I’ve stashed yarn no. 101. I have 101 different yarns in my stash. Is it just me, or does that seem … crazy?
I broke my yarn diet again the other day, but it was a conscious decision (and not a “Oh! Whoops! Oh, would you look at that. Huh. [...]

What I’ve been up to
Don’t you just hate those people who say “Just a moment, I’ll be back tomorrow!” and then they never show?
Yeah, me too. ;)
Things have been and continue to be crazy around here. I’ve been throwing fits at Martin for eating the last of the raspberry jam and not cleaning the pots after dinner. I’ve been [...]
