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.

my 'read' shelf:
AKA WIP Thursday #10. Why is this beginning to feel like such a chore? I used to love writing and reading blogs. So much feels like it’s changing, but it’s not really. Am I putting too much pressure on myself? Maybe what I need is a lazy morning, or evening. Some time where I can [...]
Whoosh! Once again time is getting away from me. I had wanted/intended to post something on Tuesday.
Which is just as well as I’m also getting a little irritated at the slog-y-ness of my projects. I need an FO boost.

Once again I don’t have pictures of what I’m working on, because they’ll look remarkably like the pictures you’ve seen already. miss mara looks like a great big garter blob (of love) and last night I ripped the mittens to start over again on the smallest needles I own (which hadn’t been used up until [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Because of my firm belief that school is trying to kill me, last night I sat down and knit with wild abandon. Not for a finished object, normally my modus operandi, but because I needed to feel the yarn between my fingers. And at least something would progress. Because I didn’t have suitable sock yarn [...]
