Well, there’s not much in the way of knitting to report, so you get the gift of venting. Aren’t you lucky?
The resolution to the annoying cow-orker situation is swift approaching, though the resolution is imperfect.
Check me on this…everyone in my department knows that this individual doesn’t work. He goofs off and instant messages [...]
The universe had been hinting at it all week, but as of yesterday I can officially say that autumn has come to Colorado. Yesterday was just about the perfect day – cool and crisp, with just that bare hint of warmth when the sun hits you full on. The morning was full of [...]
I, like many other left-leaning, socially-conscious types, loathe Wal-Mart. It’s just the right thing to do. I know their appalling corporate tactics, I am aware of their discrimination against women, and I understand that Wal-Mart is “eating away the American soul like a cancer”. The only reason I ever set foot in [...]
That’s right. I didn’t knit a damn stitch yesterday.
No, I was too busy slamming my head against the 70-year back story I had to write.
I finished – of course I did – at two in the morning, took a shower, and crawled into bed for my two and a half hours of sleep.
I finished [...]
Only four stripes and the fringe left on scarf #1. Not too bad, all told. I keep waiting nervously for the monotony of endless stockinette to drive me batty, but it hasn’t happened yet. I mean, yeah, sure, there are a bunch of prettier, more interesting, more complicated projects I could be [...]
First, for Sandy – my sky…three times. (As with all my pictures, clicking them makes them bigger.) Truth to tell, I’m a little disappointed with these pictures. Oh, they’re pretty – but I live in Colorado, with one of the most spectacular skies ever. Yesterday, the sky was a bit lackluster. [...]
As I was driving home from work yesterday, I was rather glumly reflecting that I had not yet received the bookbookbookbook2
that I had ordered. I had resisted the ease of Amazon and had instead ordered it through my favorite local independent book seller, and I was beginning to regret that. Other people (who [...]
My mother sent me this adorable mug a month or so ago, and I’m finally breaking it in. In an effort to replace my mid-morning pick-me-up of microwave popcorn with something a bit healthier, I’ve brought my mug to work, where it is currently holding peppermint tea. Yum.
I can’t say I’m worthy of [...]
from the fact that all of the pictures around here are going to look very much the same for a while.
Look! It’s just like yesterday, but longer! Unless you count the stripes, can you even tell?
But the good news is…it’s simple enough to knit fairly effectively while I play the Sims. Sometimes [...]
Holy crap! I made socks!
My first pair ever. They’re not perfection, but they’re wonderful, and they make me happy. I finished them up Friday night, while my friends impatiently waited for me quit knitting so we could play Super Munchkin, and even they (non-knitters all) were impressed.
My joy was soon tainted with [...]
