2008 10 31 (flower hexagon)

tonight i was at rivendell for a while and chris laughed so loudly that he scared one of the kids trick-or-treating, and she refused to come get candy. it was pretty funny. then i came home and tried to sleep, but it’s too warm. not warm enough to turn on the a/c, but warm enough [...]

getting paid (finally, after three weeks) was a freaking relief. money brings with it a trip to michael’s to buy art supplies. okay, to buy a coloring book and a packet of markers. (jozelle kindly organized the markers for me into the [...]

i am really really bad at making stuffed animals. but that does not stop me!

2008 06 09 (midsummer moon)

i am totally crocheting on another doily. because i am a sucker for pain. my wrists are cramping, my fingers hurt, and the doily itself looks amazing.

2008 06 02 (potholder)

annie keeps saying that she is going to cook more often, but i don’t think she has yet (she said to me today, “i went to the grocery store and bought a lot of lettuce.” i said, “well, you can grill endive.”). so i made her a potholder. i also made her a dishrag in [...]

2008 05 25 (row 27; so our matching legs are marching clocks.)

my younger sister has moved into an apartment with her fiance. i am crocheting them a lace doily. i’m not sure why; it just seems like the thing to do. i crocheted quite a bit of it yesterday, and another bit of it today — except i realized on row 30 that i’d made a [...]

2008 05 23 (doily)

yesterday i fell asleep before 10 pm, which was nice, but it meant that i didn’t get to finish crocheting my lace doily. anyway, when i woke up this morning, i decided that i didn’t like it, so while i ate mashed potatoes for breakfast, i ripped it out, and now i’m starting over on [...]

i didn’t feel well today, but by this afternoon i felt good enough to piece together the shirt i was crocheting. then i stupidly tried to do the edging, and did it inside out. i haven’t decided yet whether or not i want to rip out the edging, or just leave it. it’s not like [...]

2008 05 08 (cupcake sleeve)

i am crocheting my very first piece of clothing. it is a short sleeved shirt called “cupcake” from the stitch n bitch crochet book. i’m not sure how i feel about it. so far i’ve had to rip it out a bunch of times, and i even did something i swore i’d never do: a [...]

a few months ago, i made jozelle a blanket out of the most obnoxiously colored yarn i could find. then i had all this obnoxious yarn left over! now i am making myself a blanket — a giant granny square to go over my couch.
