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:
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.
My most recent thought was that I was close to finishing mara, so that would be an [...]
Because it is really irritating me that I’ve only been posting these weekly WIP posts, and nothing else, I finally got around to buying some dish soap and blocking the second Ishbel.
So hey, how about a FO post over the weekend? I’d like that.
There is, however, one problem.
I can’t believe I’m hoping this is a [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Things I did today:
woke up
put fresh-from-the-box contacts in
realized I can’t see with contacts in
discovered that the box has the wrong numbers on it for my prescription, cursed
put glasses back on and tried to come up with the central argument for a presentation
gave up and went to class
went to group meeting about presentation
ate lunch
took nap, after [...]
The glittens are done, long live the glittens!
They need blocking. I’ll do that in the morning. Three days over deadline isn’t too bad is it? This whole “deadline” thing? I’m pretty awful at it. No wonder I don’t knit Christmas presents.
Also, my camera cord may be home. In light of this possibility, I’ll tell you [...]
