Here’s a little bit of light technical insight into Sweater Project.
I use Moveable Type as my publishing system because Mark Pilgrim has published a lot of good material about it (and with it). Also, it’s an extensible system, so people like Brad Choate have been able to build some cool plugins for it, like [...]
Get Audio Warning: 1.5 meg mp3 - may take a while to download
Good morning folks. Today I’m going to try something new - audioblogging. If you click the “get audio” link at the top of this post, you can download an mp3 file of it. Ultimately I would like to set up [...]
Today I’d like to show you a bit of finished work, and a project that I haven’t started yet.
Here is Renee, happily sporting her new scarf. Hopefully it will actually get cold here in San Antonio so that she can use it this year.
And here is some Tahki Cotton Classic that I bought a [...]
Confused but happy definitely describes me today. I got a call in the morning from K, whom I’m dating, to see if I was free for lunch. As luck would have it, I brought my lunch today so I was able to go and sit with her on the riverwalk and eat and [...]

SCORE!!! I’ll [...]
I caught a ride with Marie and Peggy today up to Austin for the monthly guild meeting. This week’s project was beaded bracelets. I decided to just work on my Aran, which turned out to be a good idea. Peggy showed up with her beads pre-strung, ready to knit, and in about [...]
This just arrived from the most honorable ThreadBear:
By the grace of Cari, I am now the owner of fifteen skeins of clashingly festive, ultraslubbilicious Pearls Vareigated from Cascade. Oh, the garments this shall trim!
Cari, who got her kleptomaniacal canines straight from Italian Greyhound Rescue of Roswell, NM sent me a gift cert a few [...]
Nothing to see here, but go check out Michelle’s blog. A true tale of horror, very fitting for the season.
After reading it, I was so terrified that I put a padlock on the door to the little cabinet where I keep my stash. I mean, I’m alone in this apartment . . . [...]
The date went very well.
I bought a cup of coffee, she bought a cup of tea. We sat and talked for almost two hours, with only one or two lulls in the conversation. I was extremely nervous for the first twenty minutes or so. It didn’t help that I took too much [...]
