It’s slow going
Posted by Nanc
I have neither fell off the face of our earth, nor become so famous and wealthy that I can vacation in my own, secluded retreat (be it island or cabin) without internet access. Although I can still dream. (About the later.)
Nope. Just stuff. Not a lot to report or show, but at least this keeps me honest.
Silk Screen Printing Part 3: Burning the screen
Posted by Matty
Usually, this is the space where I would carefully craft a sassy teaser, to get you interested in the article, and to compell you to click on the link.
I’m much too tired, so… It’s a multi-part article. I’ve got you trapped. Click on the link, or else you won’t have the full set.
Screen Screen Printing Part 2: the design
Posted by Matty
I’m sitting around at home, hopped up on painkillers from a mouth-based melee at my dentist’s office. What better time to get caught up on my articles?
Part 2 of this series provides tips and tricks that I use when creating designs for silk screening. We’ll worry about how to transfer the design to the screen in the next article.
Dye-O-Rama Drama
Posted by Nanc
There was a bit of drama with my Dye-O-Rama yarn. See, I thought that I had mastered the Kool-Aid and could move up to Wilton’s icing dyes. Oh, how wrong I was…
Also, I receive my yarn and it’s terribly… exciting!
Lost my marbles
Posted by Nanc
A few clowns short of a circus.
Mad as a monkey on a trike.
A kangaroo loose in the top paddock.
And other euphemisms for being slightly crazy. (I especially like the third one from the bottom: Knitting with only one needle. How apropos!)
I’ve got another pair of socks knitted up, but there’s something a little off about them. Hmmmm….
I’ve got a long ways to go
Posted by Nanc
Not too long ago, Purling Pirate counted and figured out how many pairs of socks she could make from her sock stash. Heck, she’s even got a counter on her site to keep her honest. (And, oh-my! how it’s grown lately!)
At one point, I thought that I had scooped her lead (especially after my haul from MSWF). But no. Not even close, really.
Fortune cookies
Posted by Nanc
Typically, the fortunes that await me in the mist of Chinese fortune cookies are likely to make me laugh. Out loud. And if they’re not humorous on their own, finishing the line with “in bed” is sure to have me cracking up.
