Jack the Wonder Twin has been three and a half for about a ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=50 Well, this is my official first birthday of my blog. Someone mentioned in the comments that they thought I had been blogging longer than that. That's sort of true. A few years ago, upon being threatened with having to go work at Target, I came up with a Master Plan for working ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=491 It's that time today — time to wash everything, clean up everything, and bake everything, so that tomorrow we can pack everything and be ready to hit the road in the early morning. Last night I finished the Ravenclaw scarf. I think that's all the family giftknitting, unless I uncover ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=490 This house is wholly contaminated with finishitis, so if you're in need of a little mojo just raise your hand. Yesterday it was the Red Scarf. Once I figured out who I wanted to give it to, it sped along like a banshee.

SO, I have to pin down the ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=487 Tonight: The All-Night Knit Night, or whatever they're really calling it; you would have to check the store's calendar here, at the Sow's Ear. I have already been out on the roads today (long story; let's just say I had a lot to atone for, and I did all my ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=486 I bound off a project last night. Woo-hoo! Then I started weaving in the ends. Grr this acrylic, it's never going to felt together like wool. And once I finished one end, I was all excited until I counted the ends on the other end of the scarf. Eleven. Thank ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=485 No, it wasn't the 125 spam I accumulated in the last few days (see interesting one below). No, it wasn't my visitors last week. No, it wasn't the laundry duties. (Excuse me while I laugh.) No, it wasn't Ravelry. But I can see why you might think so. I think it was... the Christmas ... http://chocolatesheep.wicrafter.com/?p=484
