I like kids, they make me smile. It’s nice to see little babies out with their mums and seeing how happy the babies look and how proud and protective the mums are. Today, I was walking to the library at uni and there was a baby being held in a sling. Awww, a baby!, I…
Tasmyarnia! Wait, let me try that again…
First of all, I just want to say that I wrote this post three weeks ago but technology is awful and I lost it, so I’m writing it again. Now that that’s out of the way, news! I haven’t posted in a long time, I know, but since I have posted, lots of exciting knitting-related…
I’m Back!
(Scene: January 1st, 2013. Me, laying on the couch knitting. Mum walks in and starts sweeping) Mum: What are you doing?Me: Making a sheep.Mum: Mmm. * nods, continues sweeping* Yep, it’s now a normal thing for me to be doing something that doesn’t make sense.

For shopping, I decided to check out a yarn shop in Paris, not far from Chatelet-Les-Halles, called La Droguerie (French for “hardware store”. Nice). I think the place was beautiful. As you walk…

Ladidadidah
I’ve been knitting so much slower while on this trip compared to everyday life. Partly because I’m doing other things, partly because knitting is what I do to disengage from work, which I’m doing anyway by being on this trip, and partly because I’ve developed a worrying addiction to Plants vs. Zombies. But, I have…
