Capitalist Weekend
Posted in blather, knitting, tagged knitting, PDX on June 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
At the risk of this becoming the “look what I bought!” blog, I really do have some cool things to share.
An extremely awesome co-worker is the brains behind Fat Fancy, a plus-sized vintage clothing shop that’s just getting off the ground, and me and a buddy went to their monthly sale on Saturday. Let me [...]
Since last we spoke…

Am I in danger of becoming a once-weekly blogger? Never!
Not that much crafting has been going on lately. I have a feeling that’s going to be the refrain here in Chez Laundry Room for quite some time. It just that having my stash in the attic crawl space, half of my supplies and all of [...]
I have a Finished Object!
Posted in knitting, tagged gloves, Red Cross on June 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, I’ve it’s been finished for a while, but I just today got to taking the pictures.
Presenting….
Completed Gloves for Service Men, from the American Red Cross! (Proudly modeled by Evelyn, the 1942 Dodge Army Jeep.)
So you’d like to see them on a human being? I aim to please…
Proudly modeled by Brother, who giggled with delight [...]
I’ve been saying PDX has been good to me

I took a photo of the Morrison Bridge from Willamette Park last October, when I came to Portland on vacation, months before I got up the intestinal fortitude to actually move here. I posted it on Flickr, didn’t send it to any groups, no one looked at it, and I forgot about it. Then I [...]
Yes, I am wearing wool in June.
Posted in knitting on June 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been seeing posts around the blogiverse which contain phrases like “100 degree heat” and “heatwave” and “too hot to touch wool”. Not here in Portland, my friends. Tuesday was the coldest June day on record, I’ve been sleeping with an extra blanket and wool socks on, and turning on my space heater in the [...]
Feeling all knitty again
Posted in knitting, tagged Hidcote Garden Shawl on June 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Finishing up my brother’s gloves (no pictures yet, sorry!) and picking up the Interweave summer issue, my birthday present to myself, has gotten me in the mood to knit again. That and finding a real job with normal hours to be awake and function during. I have two projects on the needles now, the Hidcote [...]
Shout out

While driving down Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy today, I saw a knitter waiting at a bus stop. She was working a sock in a very nice pink and cream colorway, toe up and two circular needle method, if my eyes are correct. I didn’t see any DPN’s or the telltale flapping of circular needle cord which is [...]
Crafty Update
Posted in blather on June 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Crafty Wonderland was yesterday and it was amazing. So many artists and crafty-like people all shoved into the Doug Fir Lounge at the uber-cool Jupiter Hotel, and I was *inspired* by them all. Of course, I’m broke as all get out, so buying anything was out of the question, but I got a lot of [...]
I think I’ll keep her
Posted in blather on June 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Monday was my good ole birthday, and you haven’t heard from me since then. How could you stand the separation, dear reader (and I mean the singular construction)? This week has been full of not so fun grown up stuff, the kind of things I have been avoiding with all my strength for the past [...]
