And it’s not about flooding, either.
Two days ago, I broke my toe in two places. It’s the fourth toe on my right foot. I accomplished this feat the other day when I got up from my chair to refill my coffee and my toe connected with the leg of my kitchen table. [...]

Dishcloth-a-palooza
Some dishcloths I knit recently. I’ve been on a dishcloth kick lately because it’s just too hot to knit scarves and have all that wool pooling on your lap.
This first one is the ever popular ball band dishcloth. I knit this out of some leftover Lion brand Cotton I had in [...]

Hello Kitty
Here’s a picture of my very first intarsia project and bag.
The bag itself is based off the Poster Boy bag from Stitch n’ Bitch Nation. I found the picture of Hello Kitty online and I graphed it out at Mircorevolt’s Knit Pro , and I determined my size based on the graph and [...]

Update
Quick update. Mediation didn’t work out. The A-hole didn’t even try. I am taking him to court.
I had a bit of a glitch with the tank top. One side ended up being longer than the other in one spot. I put it away instead of messing with it. I’ll [...]

Tank Top and Other Stuff
Out sick today, but I can report that I’m over halfway through my Mud Flap Girl tank top. I’ve done my waist decreases and now I’m beginning the increase rows.
Knitting has been my sanity for the past few weeks because I’ve been stressing out so badly.

Because of this, I’ve decided to scrap the Dr. Who Scarf. [...]

Ahh, the Good Old Days
A long time ago, back in the Decade that Good Taste Forgot (aka the 1970’s), an unholy fusion of yarn and aluminum created the Crocheted Beer Can Hat. I remember seeing one of these things at my neighbor’s house, made from Hamm’s Beer cans and pink, white, and green variegated yarn. I remember seeing people [...]

Adventures in Sock Construction and Candle Making
Yesterday, I knit my first sock. I am very, very proud of myself. ::ms. ann does the happy dance::
I knitted my first practice sock on some crappy, squeaky cheap worsted weight acrylic yarn with dpn’s (d0uble pointed needles), but the damn thing fit and the only thing I have to watch when [...]

My First Scarf
My first scarf 3
Originally uploaded by Ms. Ann O’Malley.
Just thought I’d post a picture of my first scarf ever. This was knitted on Size 13 needles with Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Grass. As you can tell by the sides curling, it is done in stockinette stitch. I knitted this in April/May [...]

I Knit, Therefore I Am
Okay. This is supposed to be a place for me to bitch, but I am also getting very much into knitting and I also want to test the waters of candle making. So this might end up being a knitting blog more than me venting about the stuff in my life.
Right now, I am working [...]
