Following Through
On April 13, I finished my first year of the 365 Days project. The next day, I started my second year. I continue to get a lot of satisfaction out if this project, and it continues to have a surprising number of benefits. It makes me think in an articulate way about what’s going on [...]

Putting it Down and Walking Away
This year so far has been one of change and upheaval on all fronts, both good and bad. Most of the time things feel like too much to write about, or even talk about. There is one big change that I need to share, though. Back in the spring, Kim persuaded me to go to [...]

Fibres West
Thank you so much to the sweeties who left comments on my last post. I really appreciated knowing that there are people who still want to read my blog, even though I never write in it. If you’re in the area, come hang out with Leanne and I at Fibres West tomorrow (Saturday March 21)! [...]

My Moth
I posted a photo of my moth tattoo on Flickr the other day, but didn’t post the story behind it. It’s rather a long story, and I feel self-consciously sentimental telling it in person, and I don’t think I’ve committed it to writing before… I suppose it’s time. I’ve hated bugs since I was a [...]

Colour-Block Sweater
Believe it or not, I’ve got knitting to blog about. Quite a lot of it, actually; this is just the first sweater. I’ll be blogging other finished projects in the next few days. I actually finished this sweater last fall, and have worn the hell out of it (I’m sure you can see pilling in [...]
