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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I was just going through some photos when I realized that I don’t think I posted this.
Which, you know, is probably because I only had time to take an awful photo before finishing them. Apparently I didn’t even put them on Ravelry! I did finish them in time to give them to my mom for [...]
Just in progress.
I just wanted to write really quick that even though there hasn’t been writing or photography, there has been knitting.
Right now I’m working on:
A second Ishbel shawl
Through the Loops! Mystery Socks
Swatches for Blustery, so I can be part of Vestvember except really late
I’m hoping next weekend I get tons of knitting time and [...]
Fall break occurred last weekend and I flew off for a weekend of fun, games, and some knitting with a good friend. The friend doesn’t knit, but I tried to make up for that.
Yes. I’m doing it! I’m knitting a shawl! Ishbel, to be exact. The small version. I was really surprised how quickly it’s [...]
Somehow it got to be October recently; really, well into October. That means it’s SOCKTOBERFEST!
Actually, around here it’s pretty much always Socktoberfest, when I’m knitting. I’ve been working on those socks for AGES. I feel so badly—I promised these socks ages ago, but they’re taking me forever. Soon! Soon! They’ll be finished and I can [...]
Check out my great new shoes.
The Great Freshly Brewed Root Beer Hunt didn’t work out, as every brewery that my parents wanted to sample beer from was out of root beer. Who is ever OUT of root beer? I was severely disgruntled to not be able to be part of the fun. Fine, no souvenirs [...]
Ummm. Hi! Sorry I disappeared for a bit. What can I say? I got sick. I almost want to join the ranks of the non-able-bodied. (There’s a fine line between that and able-bodied, for me.) Would a pair of finished socks make it up to you? A pair of finished socks that I actually washed [...]
