A couple weeks ago, I wrote about making warp sticks from vinyl blinds. Last Friday, I tied on my first warp using the homemade warp sticks. I’m just about finished weaving this project — I should finish it later today — so I thought I’d share a little bit about my experience. Short story: I loved them!

I haven’t posted progress in a couple of weeks as I’ve been visiting with friends and family. I’ve got a lot in progress at the moment!
Knitting for Tommy: Keeping the Great War Soldier Warm by Lucinda Gosling
Today is Veterans’ Day in the United States. November 11 is Armistice Day — the day that fighting ceased in World War I. The Great War did not formally end until seven months later, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, but the United States memorialized the cessation of fighting rather than the formal end of the war. (More background info on the Veterans’ Day is available on the website of the US Department of Veterans’ Affairs). Since today is Armistice Day, it seemed an appropriate day to post a review of this book!
Spammers Gonna Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam
Yesterday I signed into my blog for the first time in a week and a half to find 794 comments awaiting moderation. Every single one was spam. Since I have the blog send me an e-mail every time I get a comment, that meant I also had 794 extra messages in my e-mail.
Pink One Row Scarf
I’ve been working on this scarf as a goal for HPKCHC Quidditch Match 3, which ends at midnight POT today! This project just seemed to go on and on and on. But that’s pretty much what it’s like whenever you knit a scarf!
