Who’s up for a round of Wheel Of Contagion?
Okay, let’s spin!

It’s . . . bronchitis!!!
Yup, bronchitis has kept me in bed for almost all of the past 72 hours. Too-sick-to-knit style sickness. I am so not down with this.
Pretty much [...]
I got a new belt for Christmas!
Actually, I got a really old belt that Mike Anthony, an old friend of our family who recently passed away, had brought back from the Soviet Union. It really sets off the kilt:
For Christmas I helped my mom out in the kitchen (the woman is incredible, seriously). [...]
Sorry, no pics at the moment.
So, I haven’t budgeted my time very well this week, and there were yarn gnomes. A great fire! A huge flood!
But mostly I didn’t budget my time very well. The back of the vest is almost done, but unless I pull a couple of all-nighters, I don’t [...]
I’m almost ready to divide for the armholes.

This time I remembered the carrots, but once again forgot to pick up [...]
I’m not spending all my time in the kitchen.
Of all the photos I’ve taken of this yarn and this piece, this most closely captures the real color of the yarn. It’s incredibly difficult to get the color right for some reason.
Or, as it’s more popularly known, Beef Bourguignon.
I’m up way, waaay late on a school night because of my team. I love them. We’re having a potluck at work tomorrow, and last time we had one I brought beef bourguignon. This time I had three different people come up to me and [...]
I’ve been watching the Sci-Fi Channel’s miniseries Tin Man. I like it - I like it a lot. It’s based on the venerable Wizard of Oz stories, with lots of changes, but enough commonality with the movie that most of us know and love to be recognizable.
Kinda. Okay, barely. But it’s [...]
