As promised, here’s the hat that I made out of the wonderful yarn Urban GypZ sent me:
And - well, I’m not sure if I should say this in public.
But, here goes.
Diego, I know you’re chilly. I feel your pain. If you ever want to, you know, come over for a while . . [...]
On Saturday, I finished sewing in the ends of a hat I made out of the handspun wool that Urban GypZ sent me. It’s going to be a good cool weather hat, if cool weather ever returns to Texas.
Yesterday I got an invitation to join a group of people, most of whom I’d never [...]
Last night as the sun was going down, I stuffed the Fertility Candle Flame Shawl into my my map bag along with my iPod and jumped on my bike. I rolled down to the local Starbuck’s and bought a large Earl Grey with room for milk, then sat down to do a few rows [...]
For those of you who have not heard, Spaceship One made a successful sub-orbital flight today.
Translation: a private group - not a government - sent a human being into space today.
Now, if we can just keep the Vogon Fleet at bay, we’ll be okay.

*ahem*

When I worked summerstock theatre as a volunteer, I once haughtily remarked to the director that I was a volunteer and so I didn’t have to show up. He fixed me with a stern look and said, “Because [...]
First off, a very big congratulations goes out to my dear sister, who completed her first 28-mile ride on Saturday morning when she kicked butt in the Tour de Cure. I talked to her on the phone afterwards and she had the full-on endorphine high going on. She did a great job and [...]
I love the Internet.
One of the things that has been a pain in my butt the past year is that whenever I want to work on the knit graph generator, I have to be plugged into a network so I can connect to the server that my blog lives on. Due to the convolutions [...]
I was perusing the Vogue Knitting Book the other night looking for examples of non-rectangular graphs when I ran across a handy term: “symbolcraft”. Vogue uses that word to refer to what seems to be the most popular method of drawing knitting graphs (a method which I have not yet implemented in the cable [...]
