Belated Birthday
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, sweaters
After almost two months of crazy deadlines, I was eager to knit something at a relaxed pace. Since my birthday was coming up, I thought I ought to make myself something.

Back in May, it was potholders and hotpads all the time, as I worked feverishly to finish the set of five I needed for this swap.

New design, and contests!

Boy, it’s been a while since I last blogged. Where did the time go? Lately, I’ve felt like a snail… I concentrate on something for what seems like a couple hours, only to find out nearly a whole day has passed by. Since Starbucks has pretty much discontinued decaf Frappucinos, I’ve been thinking that I may as well take up caffeine again, maybe that’ll help. :)

Chunkster/TBR Update
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books
Here’s another local event to add to all the upcoming spring events: the local Yarn Shop Hop is back, this time as “Summer Knitting (and Crochet) on the Go.” Since I went last time, I’ll probably skip this one. But it’s a great opportunity to see shops that you might not usually visit or haven’t seen yet.
During the past few months, I’ve been working through part of my Chunkster/To Be Read goals.
Forgetful, Part 2 (or: Gift #2)
Posted by limedragon | Filed under accessories, knitting
I have been quite scatterbrained lately. I handed in a recent design project last Friday and now have more time to catch up on this blog. However, I completely forgot to take additional photos of the below FO before mailing it, so you’ll have to do with incomplete shots. Read the rest of this entry…

Pepperidge Farm has made available the ubitiquous Australian cookies for us here in the US. Yum! According to the website, they’re only available “for a limited time at Target.” Such wording makes me want to build up an emergency stash in my freezer.
