I finished my Laminaria and blocked it on the guest bed (it was too large for the blocking board that I received as a birthday present). Blocking it was really scary as I was afraid that I would put my hand through it or break ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/12/its-been-a-long-time/ A lot of the blogs I read are talking about the change of season and how it is energising them to get their knit back on. I don't think that I have been knitting for long enough to notice how the seasons affect my knitting. I have had lulls and ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/09/socks-heels-ramblings-and-japanese-short-rows/ I haven't done any knitting at all for a while now. This is partly due to the whole Final Fantasy Tactics A2 thing, but also because I am trying to deal with some really shitty health news. As with all these things, it takes me a while to absorb and ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/08/still-very-little-knitting-content/ There may be a lack of knitting content for a while due to my enabler husband persuading me to play Final Fantasy Tactics A2.

(I had already bought some yarn and needles on ebay that I used to do ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/07/a-year-on/ I ended up having a conversation during a working row of the laminaria the other night. A stupid stupid conversation that left me with one extra stitch by the time I got to the end of the row. After hours and hours of trying to recover from it (whatever it ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/06/frustration/ If you are going to put down a relatively complicated lace project (Laminaria) for a while it would help if you kept your notes up to date so that when you pick it up again you don't have to spend over half an hour trying to work out where you ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/06/note-to-self/ Sewing down the picot edging on the Biological Clock socks is turning into a complete nightmare. Not fun, pleasurable or any of the things that I love about knitting. I am either going to tear my hair out over this or work out a a way of doing this less ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/06/sewn-picot-edging/ It's been a while, huh. Yoz's suspected salmonella turned out to be a liver abscess that kept him in hospital for almost three weeks. He is slowly on the mend, but it will be a while for him to be back in the office physically (I am sure he will ... http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/06/hey/ Nothing to report as Yoz has been in hospital since Wednesday. Latest thoughts are that he has salmonella, but they need to do more tests to be sure. Hopefully normal programming will resume shortly. http://www.bobigail.com/blog/2008/05/no-knitting/
