Tomorrow I’m going to Kid ‘n Ewe to browse the ample stash enhancement possibilities. I’ve still got a couple skeins of sock wool that I got there last year which I haven’t touched. I almost feel bad about that. Almost. Okay, not even remotely. I know it’ll get used eventually.

Well, the Storm Cables Cardigan is done - and I don’t like it very much. The sleeves are a little bit too long and a little too wide at the top, resulting in a fairly poofy-sleeved cardigan. I’ll get some suitably embarrassing pictures up later.
The good news is that it’s not so extreme [...]
One of the technologies that I had to study in preparation for the RHCE exam last week is LVM - logical volume management. It’s a technique for managing hard drives in such a way that you can increase the size of a volume on the fly. What this means in practical terms is [...]
As in, A Blocked Cardigan.
I’m still very much a blocking novice, but I like the way this is looking. I will probably re-block it after the sleeves are sewn in.
Meanwhile, I’m working from home. My doc gave me some anti-inflammatory pain killers and some great muscle relaxannnrnrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggg

My back’s been bugging me for a [...]
I was just going to put up the “bubbles under glass” picture today, but then I scoured some of the scratchy wool I got at Rhinebeck and hung it up to dry. As soon as the hank was up, I looked at it and thought “Hmm, that seems oddly familiar.” Maybe it’s just [...]
I spent most of the morning cleaning up the apartment and discovering that I still have a lot of crap that I can just throw out. But today is not the day for throwing out. No, today is the day for trying out some recipes from the CIA cookbook I got while I [...]
Just finished the first half of my RHCE exam, and unlike last time I took this test, I breezed through it. Well, most of it - I’m bound by an NDA to not talk about the structure or contents of the test, but suffice it to say that I passed the first section, and [...]
Okay, not as impressive as NaNoWriMo, but I did unofficially sign up for NaBloPoMo. This being the first of the month, I’m obligated to write a post. And this being a knitting blog (mostly), I’m obligated to tell you what I’ve got on the needles.
Let’s see . . . looks like Jack Shit.
Yes, [...]
