I’m hoping I get this thing done before it starts getting cool around here. Not that it’s ever exactly *warm* in my office, but I’d like to have it finished and blocked before I have to wear it from my house to work.
In any case, it’s coming along nicely, warts and all.

I thought already wrote this entry once, but it seems to have vanished into the ether. Feh.
So, new page up in the sidebar: Photography for Knitters. This page is a lot less complete than I originally envisioned, but I spent so long trying to get it right that I decided to just [...]
There’s a news story that’s going on right now that is really, really pissing me off on several levels.

Yeah, I know - those city folk have *no* sense of direction.

So last Saturday, I drove up to my mom & stepdad’s place to get ready for a barbecue on Sunday. I’d invited Mark and Virginia and Mark’s daughters up for an afternoon of feasting and river play. I packed my cameras, knitting, and sundries and headed out to get ready for the weekend.
