Can you believe it?
Not only did a truck full of Oreos overturn, but they were Double Stuf Oreos! Ah, to be in Illinois….
So sorry!
I really do have a lot to report, but I have been working myself to death (as a contractor you need to take work when you can get it) and haven’t had any time to take pictures. But I have had time to knit - last night I officially finished the sweater I showed you […]
UFO extravaganza
I had been so good! When I finished my Red Scarves I immediately took out my UFOs and started working on them. And most of them are at a stockinette only section and I needed mindless knitting, so it worked out.
First I pulled out my Teen Spirit Sweater, and started knitting away. […]
TV Themes
When I get my PhD (when I win the lottery and don’t have to look for a job, of course), I’ve decided that my thesis is going to have to do with the increased connection between music and television and movies. Or something like that.
I was just listening to one of the Foo Fighters’ CDs […]
I got tagged!
Thanks to Carrie K, I not only get to officially work on a meme, but I get to play a board game too! Here goes:
The game is SCATTERGORIES … and it’s harder than it looks! Here are the rules:
* Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the questions.
* They MUST […]
Eek!
I’m just about done with my stash reorganization project, and it turns out I have *over* 586 skeins of yarn! (Plus 2 cones.) But doesn’t my stash look great?
(BTW, the top box is open above because those are the skeins I’m destashing, and the ones on the bottom box need to be put in […]
“Vacation”
Every year we go to NYC to visit my grandfather, and actually last year we drove down to spend a couple of weeks in Maryland with my family (you might remember my MD yarn crawl last year, where I found a really nice store, Eleganza in Frederick). This year DL had another incident so […]
Keeping honest
At the beginning of 2007 I joined a few KALs dedicated to knitting from our stash since I have a large stash and need to get it more organized. I didn’t join the main “Knit from Your Stash” because I felt that getting to buy sock yarn “free” was cheating, however, I cheated left […]
Eastern Market
I grew up in Capitol Hill, Washington DC and I was saddened to hear about the fire at Eastern Market yesterday. I have many fond memories of the Market Day celebration and shopping at Eastern Market.
Interestingly enough there was also a fire at the Georgetown Branch of DCPL at the same time, which is interesting […]
Wearin’ the green
It was funny to be at the mall today and see just how many people were wearing green. It ranged from the lightest of light pastel greens, barely there, to a nice kelly green definitely for St. Patrick’s Day. I didn’t even think there would be a dress code for the mall, but I […]
