Butterflies and Stars from Brendah Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. These lovely flowers and star discs are enjoying themselves among my spring flowers. They arrived today from San Francisco, along with a postcard. Again, I love the fact that they are all different colours. There is also a cute silver heart charm that says “Made with… Continue reading Butterflies and Stars from Brendah

Stitch Markers from Celena
Stitch Markers from Celena Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. These Happy Hearts arrived today from Florida. Thank, Celena! They are the perfect size (making me realise mine were a bit big and heavy unless my giftees knit lots of blankets or chunky sweaters) and I like the fact that they are all different colours, since I’m… Continue reading Stitch Markers from Celena
Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. More stitch markers, since my giftees didn’t seem like the types who would like the browns. So I’m keeping them :D

I liked them so much I made myself some earrings that differ only in that the big white bead is a reddish/brown bead in the earrings. I put different… Continue reading Stitch Markers: "Red Wave"
Swappy!
I’ve been feeling a bit isolated out here in knitland, in winter. I read a lot of blogs but I felt like I wanted something to connect me to a community, so I started searching for swaps. I found this great site, which has a list of links to various knit-a-longs and swaps. The knit-a-longs… Continue reading Swappy!

Language Is A Virus
I’ve only scratched the surface of Language Is A Virus but it seems like a promising site: the kind that might inspire you to write, rather than burgling your time like so many writers’ advice sites (fascinating but not helping with the actual writing of your own work…) I used their Writers Block “Cut Up”… Continue reading Language Is A Virus
