Hey, everyone! It’s time to share some links! I’m definitely on the more fatigued side this week and am eager for Sunday, where I have absolutely zero plans and I can just loaf around to my heart’s content. I don’t have any established Halloween plans, but we’re getting off of a big event at work and we’re all exhausted. To perk the office up, I’ve decided to wear a hot dog costume to our department … Continue reading Links: Cheese, Whitney Houston, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I picked up a copy of Mineko’s Night Market on the Switch last night and I only regret I don’t have a ton of free time this week to play it. Don’t you hate it when that happens? Thank you for sharing some great recipes last time! I’ve had a slew of mediocre showings in my recipe options lately, so I definitely overdue for a real winner. I also attended a … Continue reading Links: Crafting Drama, Barbara Metzger, & More →
It’s our first Wednesday Links of June! Happy Pride everybody! Both my partner and I are queer people, so we’re trying to nail down our Pride plans. We’re very torn between going to a Pride celebration and seeing a coworker’s queer colorguard performance in a parade or honestly, being introverts and celebrating amongst ourselves in front of our AC unit. Warm temps in New England aren’t the kindest when you live on the second and … Continue reading Links: Knitting Scandals, Parody Songs, & More →
If you like colorwork and making socks, then Charming Colorwork Socks is a must buy for you. This book contains 25 adorable patterns, including holiday themes, animals, and my personal favorite: coffee socks. Most of the patterns involve only working with two colors at the same time, so it’s ideal for colorwork beginners who don’t want to manage too many strands at once. There isn’t much in the way of tutorials in the book, although … Continue reading Charming Colorwork Socks by Charlotte Stone →

Welcome back! We are halfway through April! My 33rd birthday was Monday (love me some April babies)! I had a wonderful day with a celebration that felt tailor-made. Yummy food, delicious cake, thoughtful texts and phone calls and gifts. Any fellow April babes in the comments today? Thank you all for the allergy tips, by the way! The sneezing hasn’t started just yet, but I have a few new things to try to combat the … Continue reading Links: Fabrics, Alyssa Cole, & More →
Carrie and Shana decided to start December off right with a midweek movie night. Also in attendance were Carrie’s daughter, a dog, and a cat. As consummate professionals, we prepared by reading this article about the realism, and lack thereof, of the movie. It’s been a long time since we’ve done a recap, and we are prepared. Shana was in charge of snacks. Bitches, let me tell you. If you ever have the chance to … Continue reading A Castle for Christmas →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! We are in December! Today is my dear brother’s birthday. He’s turning 28 and I get to visit him in Germany in March. Honestly, the only thing getting me through my holiday season right now. How was everyone’s Thanksgiving, if you celebrated? The food at my apartment was delicious. Seriously, the juiciest dang chicken I cooked with the crispiest skin. … It’s holiday season, which means holiday romance movies are … Continue reading Links: Cozy, Holiday Stuff →
Knitting has brought me a lot of peace and relaxation over the past year, and even when I’ve been too sore with fibro to knit, I’ve enjoyed adding to my ever expanding pattern collection. One of my favorite things is to combine interests, which for me, often means knitting and nerdery (or fandom patterns). In this post I’m going to share some of my favorite fandom related knitting patterns. Please share yours in the comments … Continue reading Knitting the Fandom →
It’s Wednesday and wow, what a week already. Let’s all take a breather with some Wednesday Links. Have you all been watching the Olympics? I’m usually pretty neutral about it, but my roommate has been staying up or waking up at ungodly hours to watch certain events. Do you have a favorite? … Want to know what’s next for Bridgertons‘ Regé-Jean Page? It’s a reboot of The Saint. … TONIGHT: An event that may be of interest … Continue reading Links: Knitting, Regé-Jean Page, & More →
In case you were unaware, 2020 has sucked, and more than anything (with the possible exception of therapy), knitting has really gotten me through. I’ve knitted more this year than ever before, in part because I have more time on my hands and in part because I need the meditative comfort knitting brings me. Seasonal Slow Knitting is a book that aligns with that need for comfort through crafting perfectly. I love this book. It’s … Continue reading Seasonal Slow Knitting: Thoughtful Projects for a Handmade Year by Hannah Thiessen →
