There’s nothing like curling up in your lovely futon, listening to one of your favourite albums (The Crane Wife, fyi – although I’m dipping into all the albums at the moment. This one is just lovely), and soldiering on through the long final rounds of the second blanket. The second always takes longer than the … Continue reading »

Catching up on the gossip.
Woosh! And suddenly the weeks have flown by with a blink of an eye. I’ve been knitting madly, and resting up various injured body parts (and by resting, I mean swimming 1km laps of breaststroke to stop myself going completely insane). Work remains fantastic. I love library work. Almost as much as I love consulting … Continue reading »
Yarn Margarita Round #1
Someday I’ll be Saturday Night.
What a week. I managed to catch one of those dreaded bugs you get on flights anywhere over 3 hours long. Talk about knock you out for the count. I haven’t felt this bad in a long, long time. So nothing’s been done. Well, nothing but the test knitting and some cobblestone. I am told … Continue reading »
Back again!
What a week last week. I got caught in Melbourne’s deluge, consulted and workshopped at Melbourne Museum (a real eye-opener, that one), and repacked up my stash and worldly belongings to have them shipped over to the Land of the Long White Cloud. It’s been a period of high-stress and lots of emotion, but, in … Continue reading »

It has been fantastic for the dairy farmers who were starting to get worried about feed and the cows drying up. Add to the weather feeling a little unsettled still, … Continue reading »

I’ve not vanished off the face of the planet, I promise. It’s just been a little busy finishing up a chapter over here. My wrists decided it would be funny to start acting up about a week ago and I had to stop everything – knitting, typing, editing – for four or five days. Not … Continue reading »
hmmmm.
In a less woe-is-me type post, We’ve finally woken up to sun, cicadas, and birdsong – for the first time in a week. The rain and the winter weather is lovely, but sun and mild spring weather is even better. I’m up early drinking coffee and having greek yoghurt and honey, and watching the news … Continue reading »
Still here…
Yes, I am still alive. Just not near a computer as often as I used to be. It’s a little out of date now, but somebody asked about my birthday haul – here it is: Modest, but awesome. Very chuffed with the squishy goodness – some wonderful people have excellent taste, the colours are wonderful. … Continue reading »
