I hope you know what tomorrow is.
It is the day of all wooly reckoning.
It is…

What is it about a place that gets under your skin? I wanted to mediate on this, so before we started packing all of our crap, I spent some time taking pictures of our home, while it still felt like home. It was really hard letting go of this place. This is the longest time either [...] We’d more or less decided to go to Trinity over Gordon-Conwell (pending acceptance, of course), until we looked over our receipts from last week’s trip and discovered a crucial fact. Apparently, Massachusetts does not tax yarn purchases. FINALLY, a state that UNDERSTANDS that yarn is just as rudimentary an essential as, say, milk! or broccoli! Unfortunately, not having [...] Dear Evenstar: We’ve been having such a lovely time together that I really feel obligated to offer you an explanation for my complete abandonment over the past few days. You’d think, after being so exclusively devoted to you, that I could wait a few measly days in between finishing your fifth clue and waiting for your [...] Hidden among the hills and fields of central Massachusetts… Is a magical place for you and me. It is called WEBS. (I do not know why it is capitalized. I don’t think it stands for anything. Maybe because they have a big WEBSite.) WEBS is, I think, the biggest yarn store in the states. At least the biggest [...] How to wash a fleece, if you are me. 1. Lay out your nice fleece on your deck. A fleece, if properly shorn from the sheep, will come off in one big piece, which it will handily stay in until messed with. 2. Realize your deck is filthy. Sweep it. 3. Realize you have no broom.

Friday night, after we got our keys, we brought a few things in – one of them the suitcases with all my knitting books, sock yarn, and lace. [...] I cannot believe it! We are actually moved! Not only have we moved the big furniture, which I was crossing my fingers and hoping we would have moved by the end of the day today, but everything is moved; some furniture is actually assembled! I am stunned and thrilled to death. Our friends are totally [...] If you ever watch movies at all, you are probably familiar with the concept of the “teaser trailer.” These are advertisements for upcoming films whose releases are often over a year away. The spots are usually around ten to fifteen seconds long and provide no useful information about the movie, except possibly that it is [...] The evenstar mystery shawl has me on my knees in submission. What you see before you is clue 4. 24 rounds of a 4-round repeat. I could knock out a round – a 560 stitch round, as I will keep mentioning – in about 35 minutes by the end of the clue. Do the math – [...] |
