If you have HBO, watch the Bill Maher show from tonight. It was quite possibly the best one he’s done. He goes on to list all the failings of the current administration in a row and it’s very interesting all collected in a list. I try to keep this blog on the [...]
So BR officially thinks I’m crazy. He took the week off from work, as I mentioned (comp time, that never happens!) and finally got around to updating the kids’ website (only 6 mos. later!). In doing so, he discovered a cache of yarn photos that I wasn’t able to delete from the camera. [...]
I am very happy, because the Fall Knitty is up and there are actually patterns I like! Not that I have ever been able to complain since it is a free pattern source, but very hyped and I am anti-hype.
This Fall I can’t wait to knit Blackberry and I also like [...]
I’ve got to get some pictures, I know, but BR actually took the week off from work (and it’s actually comp time!) and he thinks I’m crazy taking pictures of yarn and knitting, so I do it when he’s not home.
Also, I’m very surprised I didn’t get in trouble, as I came home to yet [...]
So I’m finally on my second ball of Filatura di Crosa 510 for my Katrina Rib. I guesstimate it will take about 5 balls, which would make me 20% done, right? (That was a rhetorical question, I do use some math for work, particularly the increment of 20%.)
Because I’ve been doing that [...]

Go shop at Little Knits right now. They are donating 100% of their profit this weekend (until Sept to Katrina Relief. And they are a great company.
I got some great yarn in the mail today and I’ll post some pictures when I feel like turning on the other computer. Wait, I have exciting news — I actually have a phone that works! And it’s a camera phone! So I suppose I could try taking pictures on that. But that [...]
KALs:
A Good Bias: I moved it today — I needed the size 5 needles. Pitiful.
Baby KAL: IM is just about to turn one! I’d better get his blanket done!
Black Sheep KAL: I’m currently working on a black Soleil (”Nuit” ou “La Troisieme Nuit”) and my Raglan Tansy Tee is black.
Knit Red KAL: Still [...]
Wow, I barely listened to Air America at all today and I’m even more depressed. Maybe I should go play some golf. Anyway, I feel horrible about even remotely capitalizing on the devastation in New Orleans, Mississippi, etc., but just so you know, there are a couple of great things going on in the [...]
