I hate NBC

Their Olympic website is the biggest piece'o'crap I've come across in a while. All I want to find is when they might show the obligatory three minutes of the dressage competition, but you have to search by day by two-fucking-hour timeslots. How about a PDF of the schedule, dickheads?

Argh, and when I find it, they'll have some idiot show jumper doing the commentary. In '92, the twit said "ooh, look the horse is skipping" for tempi changes. Wish I could get a European feed ...

I very rarely watch American TV too much drivel and frenzied hysteria.
In my opinion CBC has the best Olympic coverage on TV. At least with CBC you see the athletes from other countries, unlike the US coverage… which shows only the US athletes.
I generally find the CBC websites s very good too…

Ditto on the CBC. Are you close enough to pick up their feed?

Patterns

Get my patterns!

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
