I’m creeping up on a design deadline, which always gives me ants in my pants. I’m taking a wrist break (yes, I know, but typing muscles are different from knitting muscles), which gives me just enough time to complain about the stuff I’m dying to do that I don’t have time to do until I’m […]

So earlier this week, I was making fun of people who document/tweet/post every tiny aspect of their lives. “If I eat a meal and I don’t photograph it, did I really eat it? If I have a passing thought and I don’t tweet it, do I really even exist?”

Last week, I cracked out a bunch of my Cupcake Ranch roving stash. Before packing away each of the used wheels I sold, I spun and plied a full skein on each one, to make sure there were no weird issues or weird idiosyncrasies. I still need to wash it all and […]
