I have a conundrum, and I’m hoping you can help me with it.

Explosion at West, Texas
Today’s post was going to be about yarn weights, but I’m a little preoccupied this morning. Things have hit extremely close to home, about 13 miles north of home, if we want to be specific.
Weekend Wrap-Up: Finally a Chance to Relax
Well, sort of. Friday and Saturday were crazy, but Sunday was quite relaxing. In fact, once Saturday was over, I didn’t work on anything. My needles remained stationary.
J’Adore Tuesdays: Butter
I know, not really a round-up. I just watched this film and absolutely loved it. It’s called Butter. I first heard about it several months ago and waited in vain for it to come to the theaters near me. Luckily, it showed up on Netflix and then Netflix Instant! I think I’ve watched it 4 times now; it’s a great knitting companion. I just … you just have to watch the trailer.
On a Quest for a Good Book to Knit With
I’m in a pickle. I don’t get a chance to read very much, other than blogs in the morning. See, I’m an editor, so I spend as much as 9 hours a day reading technical textbooks and instructional materials. When I come home, I just can’t be bothered. Lately, though, I really want to read something!
Sad Week: Little Miss Rizzle
With a sad heart, I must say that Rizzle (aka Rizzle Cakes, Rizzle Kitten, Rizzle Dizzle Dazzle) passed away yesterday from feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). We only received the diagnosis Monday, but over 24 hours, her condition deteriorated quickly. We will miss her terribly. It’s not the same knitting without someone trying to eat the yarn. That being said, I will return to writing next week, just going to take some time.
It would seem 2012 is not my year.
Christmas WIPs: Niece’s Sweater
Niece’s Sweater
It’s Friday! Woo-hoo! After the hectic week at work I’ve had, I’m ready to slow down for the weekend. I’m actually genuinely excited for tomorrow. No, nothing big is happening. I’m just excited to relax a little bit.
Happy Halloween!
I’ve got my “costume” all ready for work. It’s a bit haphazard and more inspired by than actual costume. The hat was thrown together this morning with felt and superglue, but you might recognize the knit bow from a much earlier post. Those pieces, black trousers, a brown jumper and my new shoes make up the extent of my “costume.” Can you guess who my inspiration is?
A Wednesday Tune: Mississippi Isabel by King Charles
I have been listening to King Charles’s album for about a month straight now. Never fails, if I need a good cheer-up, his music will do the trick, and lately I’ve been knitting stockings along to it as well. It’s just feel-good stuff! I thought I’d share one of my current favorite tracks with you in honor of the middle of the week – Wednesday!
