Easy like Sunday morning

It has been a rough, rough week. I’ve had a lot of pain earlier in the week, thanks to twisting my knee more than it wanted to (or should) go, and then a lot of parenting stress as we continue to work through my daughter’s anxiety issues. I didn’t feel like trying to follow a […]

Star Trek CAL – the Badge

Some of those pesky life things got in the way, so it’s been almost 3 weeks since I last updated. A big part of that is due to my internet having tantrums and not working for various reasons, leaving me to chew through my mobile phone data, so I had to limit my net use. After […]

Star Trek CAL – Beverly Crusher

I’m still reeling from the Outlander season 2 finale right now, so I thought it would be a good time to get this post out. I had to wait for my daughter to go bed before I could watch it, as So-Ho changed the time it aired from 8:30 to 7:30, which bugged me greatly. […]

Simple slippers

This falls under the “ish” part of Nerdish delights. Winter is here and my daughter’s feet turn into icicles. Though she delights in torturing me with them, I had to do something about it. I found this pattern for quickie slippers and had her choose the yarn. I did have to redo them a few times, as […]

Star Trek CAL – Riker

It’s been a bit of a rough time around here, so I haven’t been crocheting as much as I normally would. My daughter developed anxiety about a month ago, and the last week or so has been pretty hard for us. She gave me a bit of a fright with it, as she’s only nine, […]

Star Trek CAL – Picard

Things have been a bit overwhelming here lately, as my daughter hasn’t been well, so I haven’t been able to crochet as much as I’d like. I have finally finished the first square for my new blanket – Captain Jean-Luc Picard. I love Star Trek: The New Generation, so I thought I’d start with him. […]

Outlander blanket – take two

I’ve started a Star Trek blanket, but for that I’ve used a 3.5mm hook instead of the 5mm I used for my Outlander and Doctor Who blankets. I don’t usually use that size hook as it feels too small for my hands (especially on bad pain days), but I love the results. So much so, […]

Outlander blanket – FINISHED!

After a week of a lot of pain (arthritis and back, and then some lovely wrist pain thrown in this weekend), and parenting stress (child with GORD/GERD who will be having surgery soon and who’s also seemed to develop some strong anxiety, which is a new world to me), I was able to put it […]

Outlander CAL – the banner

Oh. My. God. The episode Faith was a heart wrenching ride, with a phenomenal performance from from Cait. I was in tears by at least halfway through and didn’t stop until it was over. Having read the books several times, I knew what to expect, but holy crap. It was so much better than I expected, […]

Outlander CAL – alternate squares

I thought I’d whip up a few other characters, in case someone wanted to include them instead of the ones I’ve already done. As I mentioned in my last post, I won’t be including the written instructions for them as I won’t be making them as well. I have included links to the photos that […]
