		<title>Charity Knitting 2010 &#8211; and so it begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When Disney announced their 2010 promotion of Give a Day, Get a Disney Day, I knew I wanted to volunteer on some level, even if I only re-gifted the ticket to another charity.  Luckily, there was an opportunity to knit something for my volunteering, so I signed up to make a Project Linus blanket. [...]]]></description>

		<title>on the road&#8230; celebrating a centenarian &amp; other new things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of helping my Gran celebrate her 100th birthday.

It was a wonderful party, and I got to catch up with family I hadn&#8217;t seen in a while, which is always fun.
Gran lives in Guelph, Ontario, which is about 8-9 hours&#8217; drive from here.  I&#8217;ve never done so much driving [...]]]></description>

		<title>it&#8217;s ironic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Working on a creative space has effectively been cutting off my creative time.  The basement project is coming along, but it&#8217;s slow work, weekend by weekend, and it leaves me very little in the way of free time to create.
That said, I took a couple of weekends off to meet up with new &#038; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last post, I said I wished I had 18 pair of mittens for the Cheyenne River Reservation, and this post, I&#8217;m happy to say that I met my goal.
Here are the latest additions to the mitten mountain:

And this is the final stack:

		<title>a mini-mountain of mittens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A good family friend passed away last month, and in her honor, I wanted to continue her tradition of charity knitting.  I already have one scarf knit for the Red Scarf Project, but I knew there had to be more ways to share out there!
When I saw Ann at Sheep Shots&#8217; challenge to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Chocolate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a feeling that just about everyone who reads this blog probably likes chocolate.  And hey, free chocolate?  What&#8217;s not to like?  
M&#038;M/Mars is running a promo on Fridays this summer.  The first 250,000 people to register on their site will receive a coupon for a free candy bar.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>red beads and a gold star</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I originally got my copy of Carol Cypher&#8217;s book Mastering Beadwork, I was intrigued by the bead crochet rope project in the book that used a bead soup mix and a larger gauge thread/yarn as its base.  I&#8217;ve done some beaded crochet in the past, but it had been a while.
So, before I [...]]]></description>

		<title>now, I can share</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I posted a teaser photo of some etched pieces I&#8217;d made, but couldn&#8217;t share the whole thing, because it was for a swap.
I think most of the 2009 Mask Swappers have gotten their packages by now, so I&#8217;m going ahead &#038; posting the full images.
Here&#8217;s a Zentangle®*-inspired doodle I used to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Spring!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sheesh &#8211; it&#8217;s been a month?  
Not much going on &#8217;round these parts, except a bit of knitting.
Inspired by Kay, I knit up a few new washcloths.

And then tried my hand at the Lizard Ridge pattern with the leftovers.
 
They&#8217;re happy spring colors, and it&#8217;s a happy spring day.  Glad the weather forecast [...]]]></description>

		<title>April Fools!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[or not.  =)
I can&#8217;t quite believe it&#8217;s been so long since I last posted.  And I suppose the joke is really on me, but it&#8217;s been that kind of winter.
Anyhow, I finally sat down and tried using one of my own doodles as a transfer for tearaway etching.  I think it worked [...]]]></description>
