So Winter Storm Hercules came to visit. There is a fair amount of snow - 5" or so - but nothing those of us in the Northeast haven't successfully lived through several times before.LL had no school today which is awesome because neither one of us are morning people by nature, and we tend to… Continue reading Snow Day!

Crabby New Year!
I find myself generally annoyed at this time of year - every year - and I haven't quite figured out why. Christmas overload? Unhappiness with progress during the year that's about to end? Twenty million emails about sales before Christmas, followed by twenty million more advertising post-Christmas sales? Not sure... but I am ready for… Continue reading Crabby New Year!
Knowledge is power
There has been a fair amount of activity over on the Designers forum at Ravelry.com, tossing about the idea of a union. Again. The last time I posted on that forum it lead to death threats. That is not hyperbole. I do not post on that forum any more. But I have a few things… Continue reading Knowledge is power
Back in the saddle!
Trying to get back in the blogging habit. I know I have said this in the past, but as Twitter (where I am @Hooked4Life) is getting me back into communicating with like-minded people mode, I find that sometimes I have things to say that 140 characters - or even 280! - can't quite cover. In… Continue reading Back in the saddle!
New year, new patterns.
Ok, it's February but January was a bear of a month with tons of things to do - like Vogue Knitting Live in NYC, closely followed by TNNA which was in Phoenix this year. For VKL, I designed a pair of luscious fingerless gloves in Tosh Sock, in a beautiful colorway called Midnight in Manhattan… Continue reading New year, new patterns.
First project of 2012!
On New Year's Day I took up the challenge issued by crochet supporter and good friend Laura Krzak, and spent part of the day making a chemo cap to donate. I chose Halos of Hope because the president, Pam Haschke, had done a really interesting episode of Getting Loopy with me - you can hear… Continue reading First project of 2012!
Bits of thoughts
But here I am with time to blog, and no camera to hand, so I am going with the fact that it's probably better to get a post up than not, despite the lack of eye candy. Oh wait - a crappy picture is better than none, right? Look! It's my thumb, but also LL… Continue reading Bits of thoughts
Odd ponderings
I have a Fedex account that I use all the time - ground for delivering print patterns and samples when I am actually ahead of schedule, and of course express in all its flavors when I am hot on the trail of a deadline, which is pretty often.I have two locations that I use frequently… Continue reading Odd ponderings
Interestingly enough…
I thought with all of the podcasting I do, that I was sort of done with blogging. I always felt pressure to be clever on cue, blog regularly, have adorable pictures, what have you, so blogging always felt like a chore instead of a joy. A year or so ago I found Twitter and loved… Continue reading Interestingly enough…
Sorry guys –
I have to put comment moderation on - getting hit with tons of comment spam since I started posting again and that bugs me!Still in St. Louis - the trip was great, but the airline dropped the ball and I couldn't leave tonight as expected. Home tomorrow though, then vacation from the 20th through the… Continue reading Sorry guys –
