Hiatus

I’m afraid the blog is on hold at the moment while I deal with a small crisis in my little world.  Hope to be back soon.

Dodectacular

So there’s a group on Ravelry which is doing a NaKniSweMo dodecathlon. Which is a fancy way of saying that they’re taking the NaKniSweMo idea and multiplying it by twelve.  NaKniSweMo is, of course, an adaptation of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, where you write 50,000 words in the month of November). I personally think [...]

Unplanned holiday

Sorry about the hiatus, chums.  I wish I could say that my life has been so glorious and hectic and dazzling that I’ve been kept away from the keyboard, but frankly, that’s not the case.  I’ve just been doing other stuff.

Sick.

Finally the autumn weather is upon me! I love autumn; the crisp mornings and evenings, the clear blue days, the ‘whoomp’ as the central heating kicks in at about 6:30 in the morning and wakes me up. I love the way the air smells in the mornings, and I love it [...]

Argh! she said and she waved her wooden leg.

Oy, what a day I had yesterday. Not cool. No pictures in this post, ‘cos I’m blogging in my lunchbreak at work.
I had an awesome weekend, although a tiring one: knitting feverishly on M’s birthday present, breakfast with friends, paddleboating and market browsing with other friends, party with more friends, lunch with my [...]
