I’m very excited. I have finished G’s Cyberman Sweater. The pattern was helped along by the Stitches software (because I knitted a whole sweater for a pinhead and had to rip it out). The sleeves are way too long somehow, but I figure at this point we can roll them up. Pictures and details tomorrow.… Continue reading CyberSweater

Discipleship
Gauge/Tension Square Pre-felting Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. Because I am a dedicated disciple of the Yarn Harlot (and because the Heathen Housewife had already planted the seed) I have ordered the pattern for the Fiber Trends felted clogs. Since I ordered it online, I was lured into Michael’s by Husband (who is, whoo-hoo, going through… Continue reading Discipleship

Drugs!

Money for Medicine
These ladies got naked to help their friend pay for the drugs that are keeping her alive after cancer treatment (cos, you know, a national health service would be the work of the devil. And Hillary Clinton.) Then they made a calendar. Now they’re selling it. Treat yourself and help Heather pay her bills!

Since all my post-baby shopping so for (make that almost two years, oops) has been done at Target, I thought I’d take a look online and see what is fashionable this year, before I got out and buy stuff that is oh,… Continue reading Out of it
Key Cover
Key Cover Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. Ha! I love having a useful hobby. The handle came off my car key. It’s one of those big black keys with electronics in it and a key part that whips out like a switchblade. It also had a handle on one end that let me attach it to… Continue reading Key Cover
