I have located the perfect shoes for the wedding. Granted, they’re on sale now which means that the color I want will likely be gone before I can get to a Fluevog store to try them on. I’m hesitant to order them online without trying them on because the return policy for sale items is read more
Shark Attack
Some yarn I spun recently. 3.5 ounces of merino, approximately 143 yards. Dyed in the Shark colorway from The Spunky Eclectic.
No One’s Home.
Technically, that’s not true, TheBoy is at home. I am currently in Tacoma, Washington about to get ready for the day and head on to Whidbey Island, Washington. We drove up Thursday, had dinner in Seattle on Thursday night. Then we spent yesterday at the library. Note to everyone: the Tacoma Public Library is full read more
Wild Thing
4 ounces of superwash merino, approximately 115 yards [worsted to bulky weight.] Roving from Crown Mountain Farms in the Wild Thing colorway.
Viva Las Vegas.
I got my new iPod on Monday. It’s still in the wrapper because I am terrified of scratching it before my new case arrives from iFrogz.com. However, I brought it to work with me today and I was looking to see if Via Con Me got copied onto it (it didn’t, I must not have read more

It Boggles…
Some things are just to good to go without comment. Via Cute Overload we find CatsthatlooklikeHilter.com Shown here is one image from the site [politely downloaded and saved to my server] with a cat that I feel is particularly Hitler-esque. This site leads one to wonder what lead to a realization that a black smudge read more
HUZZAH!
Flint the llama is back home where he belongs!! Turns out we jumped to conclusions and the best we can figure is that he was tracking the scent of the sheep [since they like to wiggle out of the fence] and then the river made him get confused and he couldn’t find his way home. read more
Trellis is Finished!
I’ve been knitting a wee sweater for a friend of mine who is due any day now with her first child. In fact, she’s the first of my really close friends to have a baby, so I had to knit a sweater. I chose Knitty’s Trellis and knit it up in Cottontots, in a pale read more
A Sad Day.
During a phone call to TheBoy’s mom we got some sad news. Their neighbors [a nursery] knocked down part of their fence with a tractor, and now Flint the llama is gone. They walked every inch of the property and found no sign of him. Since it is unlikely that he would leave his herd read more
Sleepy.
Trellis is almost done. It just needs to be blocked and seamed. It has fiddly construction bits, and there are places where I followed the directions and it still doesn’t seem quite right. It could be operator error, but I’m pretty anal when it comes to following directions and had the entire sweater charted out, read more
Office Supplies Make me Giddy
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I am ordering office supplies right now, and it really does make me giddy. All of the pens and sharpies. Huzzah! I also got to order three new fancy filing cabinets and get a quote for an expensive printer. I have no idea where we’re going to put this read more
