vacation time again

Yea for vacation. For me vacation is a two week camping event called Pennsic . This is very similar to many of the other SCA events, but just on a larger scale. this year, due to the economy and gas prices, there was only 10,500 attendees, and we have been running close to 12,000 and 13,000. My vacation started off with a bang. We had picked up a good friend of our, and her two kids, as they were going to ride with us. After getting most everything packed, and having dinner, I decided to clean litter one last time. As I was taking the first litter box out a small bird, a wren I believe, flew in to the house. It took us close to an hour to get the very frightened bird out of the house. At one point we had to move the cats out of the main section of the house, as two of them (Hammy and Dewi) were very interested in the bird, and one of them, Hammy, had actually caught it in mid-air and brought it down to the floor. He then didn't know what to do and let it go. The followin...

...and one last present to finish

So close, but so far. I only have my wife's present left to do, and everything is packaged up for gifting. I'm not sure if I will be able to do the pattern that I want for my wife's scarf. The pattern I'm using is called a berry stitch. I have pulled it out once because i had messed up on a stitch some place. I need to be a lot more carfeful in how I do the (K1, k1tbl, K1) into the same stitch and the P3tog, or else I'll have to find a new pattern. Luckily this time I was only on the 6th row. The reason that i couldn't fix it is because I couldn't tell where the mistake was (the yarn is a little fuzzy), and with all the increases and decreases, it is hard to tell exactly where the issue was. I have learned something from this pattern. I have learned that i should knit a bit looser, as putting 3 stiches in to one is a bit difficult at times. I have also learned that I have been knitting through the back loop this whole time. Unfortunately I forgot t...

Time and Changes

It was about a week ago that I decided to look back and I realized that my last posting was in February 2012. Fiber I have knitted and crocheted many things in these missing years. Some of these were for myself, but most are for other people. I started working on a “marathon of fiber” project where I tried to knit or crochet 26.2 miles of yarn. This was good and bad for me. I had completed 44 items, the vast majority being hats and had used about 5.36 miles of yarn. The shear amount of time that I had spent on these projects burned me out. I have done little fiber work since December of 2014. Writing One of my avocations has been writing. I started a high fantasy novel years ago and I have been working on it more off than on since then. I have officially participated in one NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). That novel/novella of a little over 55,000 words is in its editing stage and may stay there for eternity. This last fall I entered a competition for a short ...
