I first moved overseas in the summer of 2001. With the exception of the 2005-2006 school year, I’ve been overseas ever since. For all of that time, and to an increasing degree, I’ve tried to keep my nationality a secret. When people asked where I was from, I’d say, “I live in [...]

Etsy Purchases and A Chance to Bet
Posted in WIP, general on October 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
All three of the bags I bought through Etsy have arrived. They are just right. The first to arrive were my It Isn’t Easy Being Green and my Chocolate Raspberry sock bags from the TipsyKnitter. They are just the right size for a pair of socks. The bags are well-made and the [...]
Bag Love

I’ve taken the plunge; I’ve made my first Etsy purchase. I’m just beginning to realize what a dangerous place Etsy is…
The object of my desire is this scrumptious sock bag. I’ve been schlepping my traveling socks around in plastic bags which works but isn’t very aesthetically pleasing. Then ennairda bought a really [...]

I’m so behind in my blogging. I’ve been memed twice and haven’t gotten around to responding. Here’s the first one…
These are the rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking [...]
Another hat and a Bit of Organization
Posted in WIP, general, projects on January 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I finished another premmie hat and guess what? It is even smaller than the previous hats. My small stack of hats is starting to look like Russian stacking dolls. It is humbling to realize how irregular my gauge is. I’m working on a fourth hat but don’t think I can finish it [...]
Coming Up for Air
Posted in general on September 2, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Whew! It’s been an intense start to the school year. One of those, where you put your head down and just push on through for a month.
Today is the first day in three weeks that I’m not at work. I had planned to go into work, but by the time I was done working out, [...]
Quickie Update as I Pack
Posted in WIP, general on July 14, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Busy packing. Leave for Singapore tomorrow. Still haven’t had the half hour I need to finish the class sock.
I did start the first sock from “Socks Soar on Two Circulars”. The yarn is a yummy self-striping superwash wool blend. Great fun watching the stripes appear. I knit it about four [...]

So much to blog and so little time. In the next day or so I’ll try to write about…
the yarn shops I visited with Louise

I’ll post some photos as well. Really.
Still Another Knitout
Posted in general, projects on May 6, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Louise’s business trip was extended, so I met her down at the Starbucks at Raffles City. She was knitting a lovely, pink baby bib. I frogged the Grace Kelly Scarf (again) so I could start it again on larger needles (because I’m STILL knitting too tightly.)
No one else was able to attend [...]
Raffles City Knitout
Posted in general on May 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
We had another knitout to maximize our time with Louise, and of course, to have fun knitting. It was a more delicious knitout than usual because Lois queued for more than two hours to bring us fresh donuts. They were exceptionally tasty.
Lois brought for me her ball of green KnitPicks Shadow yarn. [...]
