I've followed the footsteps of many women before me and joined roller derby. Yes, that's right. I have joined the GTARollergirls. I'm what's known as fresh meat, which means I know nothing, everyone is skating circles around me ... http://www.dyedinthewoolhandmade.com/blog/?p=316 If you follow me on Twitter or FB you'll know that I've been up to a few things lately. I've decided to take the summer off from doing yarny fibrey businessy things, and instead have been focusing on myself. I've spent a long time being rather sedentary and watching other ... http://www.dyedinthewoolhandmade.com/blog/?p=313 The answer to that would be a great, big, fat NO. NO we are NOT. We've joined thousands of people in being treated horribly by Bell Canada to the point where we are trying to CANCEL our internet service with them and they've CANCELLED our CANCELLATION.

I wanted to have had the door and trim painted first, but you gotta work with what you ... http://www.dyedinthewoolhandmade.com/blog/?p=296 We live in a pretty small renovated cottage. So small that we don't have a dedicated dining room. Not only that, but our eat-in area is the same area as our foyer. When we first moved in five years ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do in ... http://www.dyedinthewoolhandmade.com/blog/?p=287 In the sidebar I added some information about the Downtown Knit Collective's Knitter's Frolic. This year it takes place in May. If you're in the Toronto area and even if you're not, it's totally worth the trip. In addition to the best selection of yarn in town, the Frolic also ... http://www.dyedinthewoolhandmade.com/blog/?p=283 I have taken no photos lately, so here's one from a short while ago. Cocoa continues to want to make biscuits and nurse, but much less often. I think she'll give it up eventually, but I'm honestly surprised she's been doing it this long! One of her favourite things is ... http://www.dyedinthewoolhandmade.com/blog/?p=279
