And I ain’t talkin’ ’bout no yarn. There’s no knitting content whatsoever in this post, as a matter of fact. OK, a little at the end. It’s not often that a speaker at a White House sponsored event gives you tingles. Tingles of glee, of fear, of sweeping sadness at the state of our union, of nervous laughter, but most of all, tingles of “Oh no, he did not just say that! Ohhhh SNAP!” Stephen Colbert gave a speech[...]

    Well, well, well . . . what have we here? Could it be – knitting?? Holy cow, it is! It’s an actual finished object. Will wonders never cease? It’s Jon’s grandmother’s birthday scarf. (and before you ask, yes, I used it in the photo for the “Finished Object Gallery” button before it was actually finished. Whaddaya gonna do about it? Huh?! I’ve got a fork and I’m not afraid to use it!) I used about three and a half skeins[...]

    That was quite a move, but I’m happy with my new home. My favorite bit is the “Email Me” button. I can’t stop rolling my mouse over and over her. I’m very easily amused. I feel like I’m starting this blog from scratch. It’s a second chance, of sorts. Maybe this is the year I make JenLa proud! This is going to be a crazy year, what with the whole book thing and a brand new blog to[...]

Welcome to my brand new swingin’ pad! It’s much roomier, and there’s lots to see! But first, what’s all this about a book?! It’s true, the Museum of Kitschy Stitches has been captured on paper in a book subtitled “A Gallery of Notorious Knits”. And there’s no lack of crochet in there, either. It’s being published by Quirk Books and should be out mid-late summer of this year. You’re going to love it! The people I worked with were amazing[...]

    Are you sure you want to look? I mean, emotionally, are you ready to see the cutest thing you will EVER see? You might as well poke your eyes out after this, because there is simply no way for anything to even parallel it in cuteness, never mind surpass it. And yes, I admit it, I am just enamored with the inter-species love-in that seems to be going around the globe lately. (I’m going to regret using those[...]

      I just spoke to Melanie and she sends her love to the interweb. Unfortunately, she is back in the hospital. She’s having some pretty serious post-pregnancy complications. She’s feeling fine right now and is being monitored closely. She has selected me as her Official Spokesperson. I wonder if I get a cool blazer with a badge that says “Melanie Action News Team – From her Uterus to You”. She wanted me to post an update since she[...]
