Well, only sort of. I guess. I spent money on a knitting book. But it’s birthday money, so I’m safe. I’ve been digging through my Kaffe Fassett and Rowan books, desperately seeking the perfect sweater to knit, and have it narrowed down to about four or five of them (well, maybe six or seven). But […]
What do you think of celebrities who write biographies when they’re only twenty-something? I think most of them are just trying to cash in on their celebrity and make a few extra bucks. On rare occasion, someone in their twenties has lived sufficiently to have enough to actually say.
Have you read any? I avoid them […]
Our friend Rich sent us these photos last night. We haven’t seen him for a while, so it’s fun seeing at least semi-current photos. Last summer he got together with a couple old drinking buddies in Oregon for a beer festival in Portland. A grand time was had by all, as you can see. This […]

Made a little more progress on Mom’s moebius scarf yesterday. A couple days ago I sent her the last progress picture… She thought it looked nice, but was concerned that it wasn’t big enough to go over her head. Sigh. Uh, Mom, the stitches are scrunched up on the needle. It’s actually a lot bigger […]
As usual, it doesn’t feel like I got much done on this. But, again as usual, when I compare this photo with the last one, it seems that I made more progress than I thought I had. I thought I’d just done a bunch of filling in down near the left edge of the basket […]
I’m not ready to jump back into my green cardigan (I’m having doubts that it’s the right size, so I’m avoiding the inevitable), and I got tired of waiting to have the chance to go get that long circular so I could start the moebius for Mom, so I started a new pair of purple […]
Let me just go down as saying that I have the best group of moderators ever. They knew how much I wanted to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the movies, and they knew that our finances are super duper tight (to put it mildly), and they banded together, and bought tickets […]
I think my mom has finally decided that she definitely wants the gray chenille for her moebius scarf. I hope. I’m still waiting a bit. I did, however, get out some needles, and I swatched it. Ooh, this yarn is a dream. It’s a tiny bit persnickety, but once I got it going it went […]
Do you have a reading plan for the new year? Why or why not? My only reading plan is to read. ~shrug~
If you do, what is it? We have so many books here that I haven’t read yet, and our budget is so tight that I’ll just spend a lot of time exploring what’s […]
