A Year of Knitting
Insert Pithy Blog Post Title Here
It’s Caturday and rainy here–a perfect day for knitting. I will probably work on
a furry scarf to go with
a furry hat (it’s done, but needs elastic or something)
E’s socks in the Killer Bees colorway from the Yarn Pirate
and maybe even the first learning sock from Cat Bordhi’s new book (now that I’ve got a proper set of stitch markers for it)!
Thank you ATC
NPR’s All Things Considered featured today a much needed and happy diversion from the horrible and sad news of the moment.

I really wanted to do a post today, but the assassination of Benazir Bhutto has kept me glued to the crap news coverage on CNN and MSNBC.

Now, I’m going to go take an infusion of wool. Here, would you like some?

Midwinter Greetings
The Winter Solstice was marked this morning, December 22, at 1:08 am EST, as the sun reached its lowest point in the sky for the year. Human beings have observed this moment for thousands of years and cultures the world over universally celebrate something having to do with the return of the sun in some incarnation or another. What ever the name of your winter festival, may the sun smile on you and yours as we gather together in peaceful reflection and joyous celebration.
That Was Fast
It’s now a big black star-shaped blob of an albatross around my neck. It must be a new record.
