If it wouldn’t fit anywhere else, it’s here.
This is a poem that I wrote in my head over the course of several migraines. If you think it’s depressing, I apologize. I think it’s hilarious, and it cheers me up. This is for all those fellow headache-sufferers out there, most of whom probably have more legit reasons for your pain than being dehydrated. … More Eating Toast in the Dark
Right now, I am in the unusual position that everything I have on the needles is my own design. And half of them are gifts. So I really have nothing to show you, despite the fact that I really am knitting feverishly. I did, however, find occasion to do something I had never done before … More First Time Out
Also, I have different hair! Halloween was the Big Reveal on the new ‘do, but I was so distracted by new knitwear that I totally forgot to post about it. The Side Shot: This chop had been a long time in coming, and it feels really good. I’m still learning to style it – me … More Oh, Right!
This week began with the most epic TV binge I’ve had in a while. TV usually leaves my brain in a pile of steaming poo, but the Doctor has the ability to amp up my creativity like few other creative franchises I’ve run across. It also enabled me to do a completely sick amount of … More Good Influence
It was a dark and stormy night, and of course timing required that we drive from Highland to Reisterstown at the time of night with maximum traffic on the Baltimore beltway. We still managed to arrive our destination forty-five minutes early, because we’d left two hours for that thirty-mile traverse. We weren’t going to mess … More Funny Humans
Uf! So much posting to catch up on; I’ve had a crazy start to the week. Posting the short one for you today, to show some nerdy cross-pollination: Extreme knitting nerdery meets extreme video game nerdery – knitwear design going on at Barcraft Pittsburgh. (I was one of three girls present who actually cared at … More Fly-by
Canadian Style! It happens in October, and is rather similar (lots of food, family drama, singing, and alcohol), except without the Pilgrims. It was a good excuse to party with our Canadian compadres on Sunday night. Jared’s artisan bread; the makings of Grammy’s apple sausage stuffing. The bird – also traditional in your favorite northern … More Thanksgiving (really!)
My first paper of the semester is due on Tuesday, and due to a series of social plans for things I actually want to do, tonight is my only chance to put any real time into writing it. Any hope I might have of an academic career is seriously called into question by the fact … More Warm Hands, Cold Heart
I have a new obsession, picked up via Cold Antler Farm. It’s an English documentary called “Victorian Farm.” I don’t really need to explain it; watch the first thirty seconds and you’ll know whether it’s something you don’t care about at all, or which possesses you with an unholy obsession. The show ends up being … More Telos
I have been thinking about writing this post all week. As I sit down to actually write it, it occurs to me… it might be kind of weird that I think about this as much as I do. Maybe you’ll see what I mean. Like most knitters, I have several projects on the go at … More Levels
