This past summer, I visited a yarn shop in Seoul called Banul and bought some beautiful indigo fingering weight yarn. It’s a cotton-silk blend called Screen that I planned to use for a shawl, I don’t remember the price exactly but it was fairly cheap for the 10 balls I bought.
I was going to [...]

Hey, look, it’s yarn.
Posted in Crochet, Finished Objects, Knitting, Korea on July 25, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I finished three projects recently, two of which I finally did the finishing touches to today and added to Ravelry. First, though:
Soleil from knitty, with a few changes. I added some crochet edging to the bottom to help it lay flat, sc1, skip 1 or 2, chain 1, sc1. I decreased a lot on the [...]
A Scarf and a Shawl
Posted in Crochet, Finished Objects, Knitting, Korea on June 5, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I finished it a little while ago, actually, but I’ve been lazy about posting. It’s the scarf that I started in February, before the accident, then finished when it was too warm to wear a scarf. I’m pleased with how it turned out, but it’s not really my colour. I think I’m going to save [...]
Yarn in Masan
Posted in Blog, Crochet, Finished Objects, Korea, Yarn on February 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This is a post that could also go to my other blog, Live from Masan. Since it’s about yarn, it’s going here.
I haven’t been knitting or crocheting very much. I came with some Patons Canadiana (to make mitts, though now it’s too warm to wear them. One is finished), and some Bernat Cot’n Corn. [...]
The Knitting Portion of the Xmas Stockings = Done
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting on December 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I was developing a serious aversion during the second-last one, but the last one was actually kind of fun. I think it’s because the second-last one is black, and sometimes hard to see:
That one has the Tree of Life pattern from Vogue Stitchionary Vol 2. I’ve got gold embroidery on the branch tips so far, [...]
A Few Socks
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting, Patterns, Work in Progress on October 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ll start with the Christmas ones. I know, only Thanksgiving has gone by, we still have to get through Halloween and Rememberance Day, but I wanted to start these early. My mother commissioned me to make new Christmas stockings (5 of them, parents, me and 2 sisters), and not too long ago she went with [...]
Laceweight Adamas
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting on October 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I started knitting Adamas on July 16th, 2008. If I had kept on knitting on that one project, I could have finished it earlier, but I’d go through phases with it. Some days I’d knit for hours, and other times I’d go for weeks without touching it. When I went to Calgary in September [...]
Wicked Plum and Two Hats
Posted in Finished Objects, Knitting on October 1, 2008 | 2 Comments »
As much as I love the end result, Wicked was slow going, mostly because I’m tired of doing a sweater’s worth of stockinette in the round. Especially when it comes to sleeves for some reason, but since this is the Bernat Satin Heather that I loved so much, I had to use as much as [...]
End of September
Posted in Blog, Crochet, Finished Objects, Knitting, Yarn on September 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’m not sure why September is my favourite month. I think it’s because my birthday is September 18th, but I never *do* anything interesting on it. Nothing really happens. I mean sure, I get cards and presents occasionally, and I had a great birthday here with Beatrice and Brett, but it wasn’t something that couldn’t [...]
Change of Pace, and A Pink Hat

I’m taking a course through Oxford Seminars this month to prepare for TESL (teaching english as a second language) in a foreign country. My number 1 spot to go to is Japan, and I hope to get there maybe in November or December, if things pan out right.
I heard about Oxford Seminars from my sister, [...]
