I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

No need to send the straight-jackets—everything is turning out fine. I managed to rest enough on Thursday to feel much better Friday and today, so today I wanted to go out and walk around, feel some fresh air. And maybe visit the yarn shop. ;) Actually it looks like my inner knitter needed to visit [...]
Picture: The sock from last week, all ready to be grafted shut at the toe, but not done yet because then I would really have nothing to knit, since I forgot to pack the second ball in my luggage.
Picture: The shawl and vest, not quite caught up to my spring semester adventures, as they, too, [...]
Yup, looks like this is going to be a Thursday WIP round-up. I thought about it yesterday, a few times actually, but all at bad times.
Brrrrrrr. It’s been raining the storm of the season and the house is chilly. I keep lighting candles for warmth and comfort and drinking lots of tea. Speaking of tea—I [...]
The new year doesn’t really start for me until my birthday (Jan. 26), so let’s say I wrote this in plenty of time. ;) It’s not really 2010 I’m concerned about but being 21. What will being a whole year older make me feel? And how do I want to embrace the changes of becoming [...]
Huh. Although “WIP Wednesday” sounds so much better than “WIP Thursday”, Thursday is seeming more and more conducive to posts than Wednesday is. It might have to be WIP Thursday. Well, Wednesday or Thursday, as long as I do it.
Although this time around I don’t have a whole lot for you. The shawl looks pretty [...]
So I haven’t yet typed up my 2010 knitting goals for the world to see, but I finally sewed these up, washed them, and waited days for them to dry before finally putting a hair dryer to them.
Ta-da! Awesome orange mittens. I’m heartily bemused by the comments on these mittens—here and on Flickr. You see, [...]
As part of my 2010 knitting resolutions (which I haven’t yet written up here), I thought I should do WIP Wednesday posts. Whoops—Wednesday flew by me yesterday, so it’s time to play catch-up (again, already). So here are the three projects occupying my attention right now:
No, my second Ishbel certainly hasn’t gone by quite as [...]
Happy New Year! I am really excited for 2010—I’ll finally turn 21 and at the end of it I’ll be very close to finishing my undergraduate studies. Which means, horror of horrors, that I’ll have to figure things out and be close to knowing what I’m going to do “next”.
But first, I’m under the impression [...]
