Whether or not the laundry is folded. Jan 7, 2014. Picture, say, a scarlet ibis alighting on your dining room table. The flabbergasted wonderment you’d feel is roughly akin to my reaction when an email from Jared Flood appeared in my inbox one utterly normal November day. My first thought was this:. That’s it. The Nigerian spammers have found my weakness. I’d better let Brooklyn Tweed know their corporate email has been hacked. What do you do with it now that it’s here? Should you feed it? Sarah, how utt...

Man Vs. Debt. Sell your crap. Pay off your debt. Do what you love. Pay Off Your Debt. Do What You Love. The Great Pile of Unread Books. This is a post from Joan Concilio, Man Vs. Debt community manager. Read more about Joan. I love to read. It doesn’t really matter what it is – barring anything else handy, I’d happily read the back of a cereal box at breakfast – but since I was about 3 years old, I’ve rarely been without a pile of books in progress. In January, I set a goal on Goodreads. Is at least allo...

Is there an official word for “fear of patterns”? | Stitch Wit
http://www.stitchwit.org/2012/01/09/is-there-an-official-word-for-fear-of-patterns
Is there an official word for “fear of patterns”? One of my New Year’s resolutions is “Use my sewing machine for something other than sewing squares and triangles together and quilting them with straight lines.” I not only want to experiment with free-motion quilting; I also want to learn to sew bags and clothes and other practical items. I’ve always done things a bit backwards. You’d think I would have learned to sew a simple bag before I learned to sew an entire quilt, but alas. Do you have any tips or...

Putting my own spin on things. Handspun to Handknit: Verdigris Socks. October 29, 2012. In September, I picked up this amazing 4 ounce polwarth top from Kate at woolgatherings. At Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. I loved everything about it, and I knew it needed to be spun and quickly, so less than two weeks later I had this yarn:. I split the top vertically. This meant I had two tops of roughly the same diameter (I didn’t check this but I got lucky and each half of my top was half of the total...The yar...

Running with Needles: September 2010
http://irunwithneedles.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. I'm a little sad to be leaving this blog behind, but I will be blogging at Stevens Handmade. I'm also moving forward with a new business that I've been thinking about for awhile, also called Stevens Handmade. The new blog is not just for the business, though- as I mentioned above, I plan to share all of the things I am making, not just the ones for sale. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). And running my mouth about knitting and crafting. More knitting/crafty blog goodness.
