I have come shuffling in ten minutes late, but I will say that I had this post written up before midnight on Friday, so it counts as a Friday Fiction more than the last post I made. If I’m honest I wish I had more time to polish just about everything about this post. I’ll […]
Sock it to Me: The Heel Turns
May was one of the rare months where we got five weeks instead of four, so here’s a quick update on the socks I have been making: I have passed the heel! I would be even further along, however I made a mess when first knitting the back of the heal. I am going to […]
Baking, my Beloved: Why? Baking Breakdowns.
Some days my abilities to bake seem to have just flown away and left me behind. 95% of the time I’d rate my baking ability between good and great depending on what I’m making, but some days I look at the baked good sitting on the stove top cooling and just go “how?!?” Once, while […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 8
The second color went much quicker than the first. Despite my fears, I was able to tell the very dark blue from the black thread, so long as I had decent lighting. I’ve now made my way onto my third color, a dark green. I’m hopeful I’ll get more done soon, especially now that the […]
Sock It To Me
I have decided to finally try to knit socks. I will credit this to the wonderful little book I got from the public library which provided me with a simple, basic sock pattern. If you are interested it is called The knitter’s handy book of patterns: basic designs in multiple sizes & gauges by Ann […]
First Friday Fiction: An Emerald Hoard
One of these days I am going to get my first Friday Fiction posted on Friday again, but today is not that day! I wanted to have this up as early as Saturday but one part of the story was really fighting me and I had to re-write it three different times until it worked […]
A Dozen Hot Cross Buns
It was Easter last Sunday so I decided to make some fresh hot cross buns for a sweet start to the holiday. Most of the recipes I found called for raisins, which I’m not super fond of, but I decided to include them in light of being accurate to the recipe. I ended up using […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 7
I have finally moved onto the second color! Unfortunately, since I was picking the color based on the symbol on the pattern sheet I am currently adding black to the very dark blue already on the pattern. Because of that it may be harder to tell where the new color is compared to the old […]
On a Wing and a Prayer Shawl: The Finished Project
I finished the shawl! That was probably obvious by the title of the post but I am very excited with how the shawl turned out. The colors look just as good as I had hoped and the edging turned out much nicer on the final project than I thought it would as I was working […]
First Friday Fiction: Breakout!
I know this is technically squeaking in at the latest moment on a Saturday so it’s not really a “Friday” fiction, and that is all on me. I have been staring at the short stories I have and debating on which ones to use, and that pushed back getting the art done, which pushed back […]
