You gotta love a post that starts with those words, don’t you? But first, let me get the knitting stuff our of the way. Here is a new picture of the Tropical Shawl, all blocked. I don’t know if it looks much different than the previous pictures of it, but it had definitely changed. It’s less sproingy, flatter, more mature. I gave it to Charlene to send off to Florida today. I’ll miss it. I may have[...]

      Do not start making a sweater when you’re feeling bloated. I’m about 6 inches into the hoodie from the first Stitch ‘n Bitch and I made it in size large. Now I think it’s going to be too large, especially in the boobal region. It’s looking like a pretty large large, but I really don’t want to rip it all out.

      I knew it all along, but now it’s been confirmed! Look what just come in over the newswire! “The Man-Along has come to an end and judgment was finally passed this weekend. Knit-o-Rama’s Master of Ceremonies, Drew, announced two winners in this contest devoted to knitted menswear. The entries included a dazzling array of gorgeous sweaters and handsome men, each one worthy of a prize. Decisions did not come easy, but eventually, they were made. The first[...]

Now that yet another year has been heaped upon us, I suppose I should resolve to do something, right? And since I’m in Blogland, one would imagine it should be something blog-related. I guess I could post more, and I really should make some buttons for this blog. But who would even notice if I did this stuff? Apparently those knotty gals at JenLa would. Imagine that. Jen and La put together a Best of ’04 list and I’m amazed[...]
