Why yes, I do have a knitting blog. Right. I knew that. Okay then, maybe I should get some posts written. After all, even though the blogging has ground to a halt, the knitting hasn't (it has slowed but not stopped!)
So where were we? Oh yes, Sheldon. Well he is now in his new home, [...]

Here's a review of my 2007 knitting. This was my first full year of blogging, so I have pictures of all of my FOs in the past year. Which were….

2 pairs of mittens
25 korknisses
4 pairs of socks
2 hats
1 crocheted bag
1 top
2 shawls
2 afghans (one was a group project)
1 pair [...]
Before I start this post, I have a message for Kelly… You haven`t missed anything since you moved back to Newfoundland. Nothing at all. Really. In fact, there's no point in even reading this post, since there's nothing in it that you would have wanted to join in on, were you still in Ottawa. And [...]
Yes, I realize that this makes 3 posts in 3 days. I'm not promising that this pace will continue though – who knows, it could be weeks before the next one .
I finished the Mystery Blanket a couple of weeks ago, but I hadn't had a chance to block it. Today I pinned it [...]
Yesterday a group of Ottawa Knitters headed out to the country to J's place, for her 2nd (annual?) Kool-Aid dyeing party. The weather was absolutely perfect – warm and sunny, with low humidity. This was my first time dyeing yarn, and what a great way to try it out! We were a group of 10, [...]

The Big Pile o Lace
is finished. Well, the knitting is finished – I still [...]

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't "do" Christmas. I really hate the commercialization and hype of it all. I hate how it has become the "holiday season" to not offend non-Christians. Or, more likely, it has become the "holiday season" to attract non-Christians into the gift-buying frenzy. I completely agree with [...]

I know this is a few days late, but last Wednesday I went to the Ottawa SnB Knit Night for the first time. Who knew there were so many fun knitters in Ottawa? I had a fabulous time and will definitely be going back. Although I took my camera, I didn’t take [...]

Yesterday evening the Yarn Harlot herself spoke at Yarn Forward in Kanata. Now, I don’t get out to the ‘burbs very often (in the 6 years I’ve lived in Ottawa, this was my first time in Kanata), but she was worth the trip. I headed out after work, spent almost an hour on the bus [...]

I decided when I started this blog that it would be primarily about knitting, and that I would not talk about my work. Although I have a great job that I love, blogging is personal time, not work time! I thought that keeping my work world and my knitting world separate was the best thing [...]
