I’ve been watching others out in the knit blogging world participate in yarn swaps pretty much since I started reading knit blogs a couple of years ago. When I found the Swap on a Budget group on Ravelry, I knew it was for me. The budget was $20 per swapper and my swap partner put [...]

I was tagged by Eyre for this meme last week. Sorry I haven’t gotten to it until now. It seems like everyone has done it by now. Oh well, here we go: 1) What was I doing 10 years ago? It was the year I moved out of my parent’s home and into my first [...]

Down at our local Memorial Day parade, I was the only one of all the people around me who clapped, cheered, waved, and made any sort of noise for the veterans, politicians, marching bands and assorted community groups participating in the parade. The other people near me looked at me like I was some sort [...]

I was listening to this episode of This American Life on the way home from somewhere the other day and in the second act, they talk about the famous poem by William Carlos Williams “This is just to say”.

I got nothin’

Posted in Knitting on May 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Not even a cat picture. A renewed commitment to the Feather and Fan Cardigan is driving me to shut down my computer more frequently and for longer in order to free up knitting time. There have been repeated incidents of frogging and tinking, so the going is slow. Hopefully I will make some progress by [...]

Today’s my birthday! Hooray for me! 35 has been great so far. I had myself a little birthday party with all my best girlfriends. I had planned on everyone being able to knit, but since it’s been so long since we all have been in the same room, we spent the whole time catching up [...]

Here’s an actual conversation I had with the boys after narrowly avoiding being attacked mauled to death by a stupid, aggressive dog (one of these) that lives near us. Me: Isaac, I want you guys to say away from that dog. That’s a dangerous dog and I don’t want you guys to get bitten. Isaac: [...]

Posted in Knitting on May 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »

If you examine the following photo closely and compare it to the previous photo of the Feather and Fan Cardigan which was posted last time, you’ll see that the knitter is actually behind where she was before. This might because she is quite possibly an idiot who may or may not be good at following [...]
