Sweater Project

Thanks to Carlene for the idea.
This is what happens when bungee jumping goes wrong.

I’m taking my camera to work to try and get some good pics. I’m going as the bare-bones version of Carlene’s dead bungee jumper. I’ve got the rope and the blood, but no concrete block. I’m not that into holidays.
Have fun, everyone!

A businessman on the street just walked up to me and [...]

I was looking at the soon-to-be-cuff of the second sleeve this evening, trying to figure out the transition to 1×1 ribbing, when I realized that I have just knit the whole sleeve wrong.

I’m trying to get done with the sleeves. Really, I am. This is not some kind of psychological trick I’m playing to keep the Sweater Project going. But the cables on the second HDPEWAS are all screwed up in the last section. I’m going to have to bust out some [...]

Well, that was good. I think.
K just called me back. It was a very nice conversation. At the end I told her how much I’d like to see her again soon. She said sure, in a week or so.

Another kufi delivered to a happy home.

UPDATE
I forgot to mention that Judy is a victim of the dreaded Sweater Curse. She told me when I gave her the kufi that she once knit a sweater for her boyfriend. She got rid of the boyfriend, but kept the sweater.

So I got up this morning, practiced the violin a bit, checked the mail, etc. A pretty usual morning for me. The I loaded up my bag, gave myself an insulin injection, and went down to my car to drive to work. I planned to buy a breakfast taco on the way [...]

Audio Version, you bunch of perverts.
Like I’ve said before, hot women inspire me to knit. This is just one of many factors in my psychological/genetic makeup which will prevent me from ever, ever procreating. But it will ensure that many people have warm, fuzzy stuff to wear.
Case in point: Sophie. Sophie is [...]

It’s a cool, overcast day in San Antonio. It matches my mood perfectly, as I’m feeling a little bit melancholy. I’ve got a big mug of coffee sitting at my elbow and some bacon frying in the skillet. Soon I shall have some breakfast and go for a bike ride, then [...]

I took my camera with me to the Thursday night bike ride last night. This is the third time I’ve made it out there this Spring, and my legs are starting to really get used to the new bike. The only problem I have is that the damned rear wheel keeps squeaking [...]
