Not ever. They give out. Always on weekends and holidays when replacing them is most inconvenient. Then you get to live without letting any water whatsoever go down the drain until they’re repaired. Let me tell you, this is no fun. Yes, we are on a sewer system. But, since we are on the downhill […]
Oooh. I’m in knitterly heaven, I swear I am. Kaffe Fassett’s Pattern Library just arrived, and it’s glorious. It’s jam packed with 195 different knitting motifs in Kaffe’s inimitable style. Lots of color, free-flowing forms, geometrics, flowers. I think I have now officially narrowed down my list of possible patterns for my sweater to three […]
In lieu of joining Stephanie’s Knitting Olympics (I’ll be a fan rooting on the sidelines), I’m opting to join Margene’s Enjoy the Process, and well, enjoy the process of knitting along with the other non-Olympians without having to be equal to a knitting deadline. Much more my style!
Dave sent me this link, and I had to share. That jellyfish is enormous! I’d love to be exactly where that diver is in the photo. Man. What fun. I want to see close-ups of his tentacles (or whatever you call them). What a totally cool creature. I so want to be that diver…
Have you finished any books yet? Yup. Sure have.
If you have, how many, what were they, how did you like them? So far this year I’ve read Sue Grafton’s S is for Silence, Lawrence Block’s The Specialists and Burglar in the Library, and Ellery Queen’s Inspector Queen’s Own Case. I seem to be on a […]
This last week I filled in a lot of greenery near the bottom left of the basket, and some browns of the basket itself. Getting closer to that bottom edge of this first page of the chart! And soon I’ll be far enough right to get to do more lilac blossoms.
One thing about blogging… […]
Have you had a happy dance yet this year? If so, tell us about it! (Or just point to the entry that talks about it.) If not, when do you predict it will be?
Unfortunately, no happy dances for me yet. It’s looking like the first one will be the moebius scarf for Mom. I really […]
Progress on Mom’s moebius scarf. I forgot to measure it when I was upstairs taking this picture, but I think it’s about six inches between the needles now. And it’s looking even smaller around, because the center hole is filling up with knitting. I don’t dare send a photo to Mom now. She’ll doubt my […]
Being a cat, mostly what Ricki does during the day is sleep. Mostly what she does at night is tear around the house. One night late last week she decided she wanted a little of both at the same time, and for the first time—that I’ve seen, anyway—in almost two years she chased her tail. […]
I’ve been suffering from a bad case of blog layout boredom lately, and so this afternoon I tweeked it a tiny bit. Hopefully, it’ll be easier to read the posts, as they’re in the pretty serif font Georgia now, instead of Verdana. I left everything else the same—which was easier said than done, but I […]
