Southwest Fantasy

As you can probably tell I have many many projects going all at once.  It gives me lots of variety and little chance of boredom.  As much fun as it is to start new projects, of course nothing compares to the satisfaction of actually finishing something!



Coinciding with the miracle of a computer returned from the dead, what a great time to finish a bright and (I think) stylish new top to photograph and edit with the latest version of iphoto!

This Southwestern top is knitted in one piece with an identical front and back.
The bias cut drape was created using a combination of yarn-over increases (at front and back) and decreases (at both sides).

Back to the 21st Century

I am pleased to report that my computer (whose hard drive crashed in like May) is back up and running, and it only cost me $75!  That is the cost of a new replacement hard drive with 500GB of memory.


If you are like me and many I know, you love your Mac. Let me give you another reason to love it, if you don't already know.  You can replace your own hard drive in about 5 minutes with two screwdrivers and a YouTube video, okay?  Do not shell out $85 in labor to hire a "professional"!


"But Meghan," I hear you say, "I didn't plan ahead for this. I threw away my original 2007 Mac OS disk and Application suite disk!" (Okay, maybe you weren't stupid enough to do this, but I was.)  Well, not to worry because you can just go to the Apple store and they will give you the BRAND NEW versions of everything, and it will be free! 

Yarn Bombing

I'm going through some big changes (back in Arizona for the winter...and I believe I mentioned my laptop has been down, et cetera) so I'm far behind in listing new items on Etsy as well as updating the blog here.

In the meantime, here is some inspiration for today!  Oh, I hang out at the Tempe Public Library every day now, and when I'm not using the internet I can be found wandering the stacks.  I rented an interesting book called Yarn Bombing.  I've never been lucky enough to come across this type of graffiti, but I have a feeling some people in my neighborhood might, soon enough!
