You guys know all about me, but just in case (and since I’m another swap):
The basics:
How long have you been knitting? 3 years this time
Do you consider yourself a beginning sock knitter, an intermediate, or have you been doing this so long you could probably knit a pair in your sleep?
intermediate — I haven’t done […]
Another Thursday, another episode of “The Office”. I didn’t even laugh like I did last week, so I’m really worried that it will not come back after this season.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this episode, and I really like how they are handling the characters, but not being laugh out loud funny is not […]
Help! I just realized that not only is my friend’s housewarming party this Saturday (I got her a great surprise from Edible Arrangements already — shhh!), but it is to celebrate her 30th birthday. I really need to keep a basket of finished gifts, but I don’t have anything appropriate to give her right now. […]
A week later I’m almost done with my new shows for this season. I watch a *lot* of tv, and our second tv broke last week so it’s been hard to get through the new shows with lots of work, and very little tv time since we are now sharing one tv with 5 […]
I had a fun weekend. Yesterday was D.L.’s third soccer game and I taught a new knitter! His teammate’s older sister wanted to learn, so I brought her some supplies and started her off on a garter stitch scarf. I won’t make it to next week’s game, but I can’t wait to see if […]
Believe it or not, Karen E. Jordan’s sock yarn I bought off Etsy is more beautiful in person than in her photo! Even my photo doesn’t do it justice:
Although I do try. Here is my “Little Fluffy Clouds” yarn I dyed last week. The colors are blue, purple and lavender and really look like foggy, […]
I can’t tell you how underwhelming The Office premiere was. There were a couple of times where I was laughing, but the whole idea of basing it on outing Oscar was really uninteresting. I hope this doesn’t mean there is some problem coming up with new material and it’s not going to be […]
I’m supposed to be working! But all I’ve done is buy yarn:
and find new blogs to read:
Burbed — a really scary, sad and funny look at Bay Area real estate.
“I read a book. 250 pages. What’s it about? No idea. It took me 8 years.”
– Jim Gaffigan
Yes, I’m back into reading! I had to go to the library to get a large stack of books for DL’s reading list so I picked up a few for myself. I always say that as a librarian […]
