Did I make it? January 1st 2009: 233 skeins of yarn. October 1st 2009: peaked at 254 skeins. December 31st 2009……. Oh hell yes I made it🙂. Yes out of 185 skeins of yarn in stash, 78 of them are sock yarns. 42%. Ridiculous. December 24, 2009 in Uncategorized. I decided to go with a basic house design and hope...

KnittingKitty rambles on and on. The trials and tribulations of an obsessed knitter and spinner. You are currently browsing the monthly archive for June 2010. Introducing a new blog. June 16, 2010 in Uncategorized. Yup, I finally picked a new blogname. It’s apparently a lot harder than I expected it to be but after pestering friends and family I finally settled on one. Are just begging to be blogged about. I’m thrilled to be starting over at CookCraftGrow. Sapphire Waves of Grain. On the Bedside Table.

KnittingKitty rambles on and on. The trials and tribulations of an obsessed knitter and spinner. May 27, 2010 in Uncategorized. The Croquembouche is a deceptive pastry, it’s visually impressive when done right but the pieces are fundamental pastry techniques that are easy to master. It isn’t something I’ve made more than once before and that was many years ago so I was looking forward to the May challenge. Sapphire Waves of Grain. On the Bedside Table.

KnittingKitty rambles on and on. The trials and tribulations of an obsessed knitter and spinner. March 18, 2010 in Uncategorized. Well ok technically Damson was finished in Dec 2009 but it’s taken me this long to photograph it. I can’t wait till Spring shows up and I can actually see that unfamilar yellow ball in the sky again. Thankfully despite the mods the heavier yarn still makes this a good sized shawl, 4 skeins would have been better but 3 skeins with modifications are still a pleasing result. ...

KnittingKitty rambles on and on. The trials and tribulations of an obsessed knitter and spinner. Bet you forgot I can knit…. April 28, 2010 in Uncategorized. It took a while after my trip to London to get back in the groove for knitting. Almost a month in fact since I had picked up the needles. I managed to find other crafty projects to occupy my time but eventually I pulled out a wallowing project and gave it some love. Sapphire Waves of Grain. On the Bedside Table.

KnittingKitty rambles on and on. The trials and tribulations of an obsessed knitter and spinner. March 25, 2010 in Uncategorized. I fully admit I’m not a huge fan of rye breads. They are usually heavy and since I don’t love the taste of caraway seeds I’ve just never tried a lot of recipes. However the Year of Bread was meant to push me to try breads I don’t typically make so rye fit that bill perfectly. Sapphire Waves of Grain. On the Bedside Table.

A Waste Of Valuable Server Space: sheepie wool

A Waste Of Valuable Server Space. Knitting, Travel, and Life. Monday, May 05, 2008. I hardly ran into ANYONE I was hoping to see.I went to the Ravelry meetup, just after the buttons ran out. I fully suspect people where actually hiding from me. I guess everyone went early and took off. I saw ArtsyGal. But she didn't even recognize me from the Philly Meetup. *sniff sniff*. Anyway, I was exceptionally controlled this year. A large roving by Dudleyspinner that may have every color under the sun in it. Rest ...

KnittingKitty rambles on and on. The trials and tribulations of an obsessed knitter and spinner. April 26, 2010 in Uncategorized. I never grew up eating a wide variety of breads, our options in Hong Kong were typically limited to basic variations of white or wheat sandwich bread or Chinese steamed buns. I’m also the only one in my family who loves bread, the rest are in the range of “eh whatever you have works” to “Screw the bread, give me rice! During the cleanup when I found the beloved Broa recipe I a...

I admit I had never heard of these little rolls until Jenny. Brought them up as her suggestion for the May bread. A quick search online shows that while beautiful when made correctly they are also labor intensive and fussy enough that there are very few photos or mentions of this roll anywhere. I contemplated all sorts...
