Cute!

How cute is this Bally Bag? And how easy would it be to duplicate (apart from some of the hardware)? It retails for $895 so it might be worth a try....

Time Flies...

...whether one is having fun or not. I don't have any knitting news for you, other than I made a hat for myself out of yarn Neal got me for Christmas. No new project on the needles yet, but some of the bulky stuff in the latest Vogue Knitting looks

Happy New Year!

So the holidays are finally over - thank goodness! Not that I'm ready to get back to work or anything (I'm not) but at least I don't have to deal with anymore holiday-related stress. I got some lovely yarn from my lovely hubby, and a gift certifica

Oops!

I didn't mean to let two weeks go by between posts! But it's been busy here chez Minx, what with last minute holiday stuff, helping Dad and my brother with their Christmas shopping, planning meals, and generally attempting to enjoy the season. Bah

Wow

I joined Facebook last month, just to have the ability to see a person's profile. Now I have 100 friends and I'm sadly hooked. It's incredible how many folks I know are on there, particularly people with whom I wished I had kept in touch. I've foun

Another NOROvember Come and Gone...

...sorry I wasn't particularly attentive this year. :( If you've completed something this month, why not post a pic for all to see in the Flickr group (link on the sidebar, under the list of participant names)?

Happy Thanksgiving!

May you all have a safe and happy holiday!

Found this on Mousie's blog so I thought I would give it a go. 1. Magazines subscribed to - at the moment, InStyle, Allure, Interweave Knits, Vogue Knitting, W, Beauty & Fashion (trade mag), and Lucky. I'm letting a few of them expire so I can pick

Here are my finished Felted Stash Accessory bags, awaiting zippers, knit from a combination of Silk Garden and Kureyon leftovers. And here's my Retro Scarf, in Silk Mountain. What have you finished?

You All Are Good...

That was a baby porcupine's tushie.

What is it?

There appears to be yarn in this shot, so I'm considering it to be knitting-related. To those of you who have not yet seen this photo on the Web, can you guess what it is? Oh, and Happy Birthday to me. :)

NOROvember Sock

<img src='http://files.blog-city.com/files/A04/55841/p/f/noro1.jpg' title='kelly's noro sock' border='0'/>Look at the pretty sock, knitted in Noro Sock colorway s236. NO, I didn't knit it...our newest member, Kelly, did! Go say hi to her.

You want pictures? Well, the best I can do is one picture today. :) Here's Jonna, by Norah Gaughan, from Berroco: Norah Gaughan Vol 1. I used 4 skeins of KnitPicks Andean Silk in Chocolate. I got bored knitting all the ribbing so it's probably 6"

More NOROvember Progress

Monday, 10 November 2008 3:45 P GMT-05
Well, not mine...lol...I am really slacking on the picture-taking, aren't I? Mrs. Pao has a finished object! And about half another one done too. I've finished knitting two stash bags and need to obtain zippers for them. I never did start on the e

Norovember Progress

Victoria has some big plans for her Noro Sock and Cashmere Island yarns. Looks like she started Norovember in October sometime....

I finished Jonna up on Saturday afternoon. I only made 6 of the testicular objects, rather than 8 because that seemed like overkill. I'll try to get a pic up here soon. As for Norovember projects, I think I'll start the month by knitting a couple o

Welcome to NOROvember!

Today is November 1st - what projects do you plan to work on this month? I have a slew of NORO yarn, enough for a couple of sweaters. I'll probably make a shawl though, some hats too. To tell the truth, I don't have a definite project planned (I

I Had to Change This One Too

Yes, I am a geek.

LOLcat du Jour

Thursday, 30 October 2008 6:13 P GMT-05
I felt the original version (on the ICHC site today) had a rather ungrammatical caption, so I reworded it. Same gist. Yeah, I know Lolcats aren't supposed to be bastions of good grammar....

Stuff

I feel like a bulleted list today. How about you? It's cold and windy here today, yet there are still people walking around without coats. I passed a woman this morning wearing a shawl over a dress. She was clutching that thing around her as if her

NOROvember is Almost Here....

...don't forget to sign up! So far we have a lot fewer participants than in the past couple of years, so be sure to take a button and pass the word around. :)

Thanks!

Awww...youse guys are the best! Mwah! But...I think I might have resolved my main problem with Blog City. I tried to embed a video on my fragrance blog and the html editor kept parsing the code incorrectly, so in a fit of pique, I wrote to custome

...I probably don't blog here very often because Blog-city is a real pain in the ass.  I have to click through several pages before I can write an entry, and once I get here, I have lost interest.  Blogger, now that Google owns it and t

Black Cats

Thursday, 16 October 2008 6:23 P GMT-05
Look at what I got in the mail today!  Two skeins of black possum/merino yarn, some cute note pads and post-its, an instant cat(!), a tape measure, a black cat pom pom kit, a dark chocolate bar, and a mix CD of coffee-related songs.  Hmm...
