Someone who lives in my building had fun Saturday night with their motorcycle. Or did something deeply regrettable, I’m not sure. What I do know is that loud revving could be easily heard and that the perfume of burnt rubber was in the air. At 1:30am. Lucky us. But check the damage done to the […]

Taking a break
By Caitlin Jane in crochetIt’s perfectly normal to knit while taking a break from…knitting, right? When you are me, then answer is a resounding YES. I was getting tired of mitts so I switched to squids. I read a cool article about how they fly-it’s amazing really-so they’ve been on my mind. It’s red because it’s angry. Tomorrow I […]

Ok, ok!
By Caitlin Jane in crochetWas it merely delayed teenaged angst that caused my last post? Was I feeling lonely and in need of e-gratification? Am I merely an attention whore? Probably a bit of all of the above. Must be. What I am working on currently: 2 really big secret projects that I can’t blog about until after Xmas. […]

Colours/Changes
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, Griping, seriously?I won’t be blogging as much anymore. Not only do people almost never comment on my blog-leading me to think no one reads it anymore so what’s the point-I’m making a computer switch out to using my ipad almost exclusively. This laptop is a piece of shit that I never got to properly test drive […]

Glove love
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodI’d been wanting to make fingerless gloves for a long time and struggled with patterns and yarns and with general apathy. And didn’t make one . I also felt extreme guilt about not finishing my dad’s xmas socks from last year, but I soldiered on and finally came up with a pattern I could use: […]

Tiny sweater #2
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodIt’s green wool and stiffer than the first but just as cute. I followed the pattern more closely this time and it came out pretty much perfectly. Now I must figure out footwear. I tried today but failed miserably…

It’s hardly work at all
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodLately it feels-around these parts-that Shannon and I are competing at being the most productive/creative. His soaps and candles and candies are amazing and inspirational. 2 nights ago I found an adorable, free pattern for a knit cardigan on Purl Bee. I though, hey, I have lots of small ends of sock yarn, I could […]

Ball-wind-a-rama
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, we have funMy new neighbour (and old room mate!) Kerrick is an avid knitter (and way WAY more of an expert at it than I!) and loaned me her ball winder so I could do some stash tidying… 40 balls later… Pretty, huh? I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed using that winder, I found it […]

Done!
By Caitlin Jane in babies, clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI decided to go with no sleeves-after knitting half of one-because it’s a hot summer already and this sweater will only fit for about 5 more minutes. I just need to weave in about 800 ends and it will be ready for wrapping paper. Next baby gets this sweater. Or this dress. And obviously it […]

Other new new (well, newer-ish) project
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochet, making stuff is goodJana came upon an ad on Craigslist for free…stuff, I think it was a free bonanza really, and she kindly thought of me for the 4 giant boxes of fabric scraps. Lots of it was scary (polyester!) and unusable (biodegrading as you watch!) but some of it was super cute and vintage. There was a […]
