Movember is coming…

October 27, 2014 by Maire in Events / 0 Comments

Movember is just around the bend, and just like last year, I’ve signed up as a Mo Sister. When it comes to getting out there and asking for donations, I’m not exactly the most outgoing, but I try to do what I can. I haven’t done any designing recently, but I do have a couple […]

Just Dance (kinda)

I’m a sucker for a good cover. It may be a hipster thing to do (that’s the trendy thing, right? Call it “hipster” if it’s non-mainstream?  Whatever), but I’ve been enjoying Postmodern Jukebox for awhile…This is just one of the many offerings on their Youtube Channel….you should take a look!

For the record, math and I don’t get along and never really have. Ours is an uncomfortable dĂ©tente. Vi has put together a video on Net Neutrality.  Why, […]

Lost: One (1) sock knitting mojo.  If found, please return thisaway. In the meantime, you’ll likely see me over here spinning away * and knitting frantically on shawl/ettes **.

I made yarn!

I made yarn!

April 18, 2014 by Maire in Hobbies / 2 Comments

I made yarn! I told you I was working on content! For reference’s sake, here is what I started with: December 2013 Fiber Club Shipment from FatCatKnits, Mambo and Tango on Polwarth (5oz total). I did not take the photos – they are the inventory shots from Ginny’s website. I’m simply including them as a […]
