I CANT STOP HICCUPING
I have a problem where if I get the hiccups once in the day, I’m more prone to get them more as the day goes on! And my only way of curing it is laying flat on my back, arms above my head, take in as much air as I can, hold it and press it down into my lungs. Then take sips of air until I I can’t take it anymore.
Then release and do it again. HAHAHA!
Day 3: Do you have any other WIPs (works in progress)?
Bigger on the Inside from Knitty.com
It’s by far an awesome Doctor Who knit, I haven’t started the 2nd part yet, but I’m going to, soon! It’s blocked and waiting to have stitches picked up!
Vino Cowl from Quick Knits magazine.
I love it, I messed up the pattern, I’m angry and I have stashed this away until I frog it, because it needs to be ripped out and started again. Sooooo upsetting - it was DIS CLOSE to being finished before I noticed the lace pattern lining up in rows, instead of staggering!
This is how I feel when I see that beautiful baby alpaca from Peru (I really did purchase it when I was in Peru 6 years ago) in a pattern that I’m disappointed in myself for wrecking….
Rock birds and owls. Did these early April when we had a ‘fake-start’ of summer! #Rockbirds #rockowls #owls #rocks #paintedrocks #pen #ink #colour #owl #birds #bird #creat #creative #artt #artwork #medium
I know, it’s not Paleo, but I’m the only Primal eater in our house. Rice is a big thing around here, and since our rice cooker died, we all got pretty excited over the new, smaller, stainless-steel-bowled adorable panda rice cooker! #Rice #ricecooker #new #notpaleo #glutenfree
Another ‘old’ knitting project that I never photographed. #ThroughTheWoods hoodie-cowl, in baby alpaca - this filter is the right colour of teal (my eyes are blue, not teal, despite the photo!). This was made 3 years ago and is my favourite piece! #Yarn #knitting #wool #babyalpaca #cascade #cables #hoodie #cowl #celticbuttons #winter
My first shawl, made over a year ago or more, #Multnomah in super-wash hand-spun, hand-dyed wool from #Knitopia yarn shop! #Yarn #wool #handdyed #handmade #handspun #superwash #green #shawl #lace #knitting #knit
bisexual candycorn: thoughts on skintones
people ask me a lot about drawing poc, more specifically “how” to do it. my kneejerk reaction is to get frustrated by it, because the answer…
Day 2: What is currently on your needles?
A handful of projects!
#19 Cabled Cape from Knit.1 Magazine. It’s slow going with these cables and around 400 stitches per row, but I love it!
Staghorn River Blanket, pattern by me! (Yay!)
My older son noticed that he didn’t have a baby blanket, like his 10 month old brother (he did but it was a star shape, and really, not useful). So we chose out some yarn in a colour that was acceptable to me (he wanted black - he’s 4!) Anyway, my son’s name is Shannen which means, either “River” or “Wise,” so I chose staghorn’s for wisdom and garter rib for ‘rivers.’ It’s a simple knit that I can easily work on while watching TV (I cable without cable needles, I maybe used cable needles once in my life, and hated them!)
