Kamicha of Yarned makes me feel that I should
a) go through my entire wardrobe
b) reconsider my aversion to blandness neutrals
c) reconsider my decision to avoid bulky knitwear
d) reconsider my decision to avoid shapeless dresses
e) forget about my hypermobility and dig out my high-heeled shoes
f) re-invent myself as a sophisticated fashionista
but I think I’ll continue [...]
I may have injured my wrist through too much knitting. Yes. Really. I’m going to see my doctor tomorrow for my usual ‘why do I keep keeling over, Doctor McKay?’ thing and might just ask him about my poor overworked wrists. I suspect the answer may be to lay off with the knitting for some [...]
This is one of the funniest film reviews I have ever seen. I heart Mark Kermode. Stay tuned for his attempt at being Swedish.
No word on release date (of course), but there’s actual footage now: Diablo III is finally happening. Quick, are frogs falling from the sky?

His birthday is in November. I suppose we all try to be different from our parents and none of [...]
I like everything to be clean, and gray is clean. Gray is between black and white, so it’s a noncolor, almost. I feel messy and unclean if I wear other colors. - Five New Yorkers Who Only Wear One Colour.
I bet you can find Copenhageners who only wear beige. Or navy.
I have a guilty pleasure blog that I read ever so often whenever I either want to cheer myself up or want to depress myself (and sometimes I want both - I’m a complex woman). The blog in question is Tartelette and it is a food blog. No, let me rephrase that: it’s a food [...]
Oh, you Scottish summer.. We’ve been having thunder on-and-off for most of the day and it’s raining, raining, raining. Suddenly knitting a wool sweater in July doesn’t seem like such a stupid idea.
This is my first major lace work (bar two projects we shall not mention) and I’m actually pretty happy with it despite my overly critical eye.
