I’m sick. Feel like crap. So instead of a “proper” blog post, you guys get pics.
Here are the socks I just finished today.
They’re the Marlene pattern by Cookie A, found in the Fall/Winter 2008 issue of Knit.1.
And here’s the Clapotis I knit for myself. It’s to replace the one I lost.
This is what I worked [...]
Just posting to show that I’m still alive. Will blog about my trip to Finland later. For now, I’ll just leave you with a pic of my gorgeous new shoes.
My mystery shawl is done! All of the yarny/knitterly details can be found on my Ravelry page.
I bound it off last night and was kinda worried that it looked a bit small. But once I made it wet and spread it out on the bed? Boy did it grow.

Last night at the pub, I got these as a birthday gift from my friend Jane.
And I just spent over 800 words of my 5000 limit explaining why I titled my dissertation’s set of stories the way I did. I guess I feel very passionately about that.
I should be working on my dissertation commentary. And I will start it today. The story section I got done last Thursday (14,081 words, giving me about 1000 words or so to play with while editing). My goal is to have half of the commentary done this week, the other half next week. So that’ll [...]

Another post so quickly after the last one? Amazing, I know.
We got our suitcases this morning! Which lead me to take lots of pics to update my Rav page and then I figured I might as well blog about them too. Anyway, a heads up that this is very picture heavy so… yeah… just sayin’, [...]
And I’m back from Boston, MA. Had a great time, but I don’t think I’d want to stay for more than a week without a rental car. If we had that, then there would’ve been day trips to all sorts of places nearby. But we just spend the week in the city exploring.
Getting there was [...]
Yesterday was World Wide Knit In Public Day. And Sheffield had something organized! It was held in the Peace Gardens from 11-4. The weather was gorgeous. So we (yes, we, Oliver came with me even though he doesn’t knit) got there a little after 11. Hung around knitting until about 12:30 and then we went [...]
