You might want to move along, dear readers: there's not much to see here. Daylight Savings has hit me hard. After a couple of weeks of waiting for my bus in the dark, it felt very wrong to step outside to a rainy but post-sunrise morning. And now, as I sit with some hard-earned knitting, … Continue reading Daylight Savings

Instead of Cursing the Darkness
This has been a craptastic year for world events, hasn't it? Stateside we have this election year that has been doing a great job of bringing out the worst in people. Not as bad as other things that could be happening, but still, a bunch of politicians sniping relentlessly at one another is not making … Continue reading Instead of Cursing the Darkness
Still Knitting
Hello, dear readers. This may look like a picture of ribbing, or the beginning of a ribbed beanie, but it is actually a picture of three weeks. Three weeks is a long time in blog land, but in real life it went by in a snap. In these three weeks, I had my first tenure … Continue reading Still Knitting

Happy Birthday Yesterday
(Title courtesy of Mark Mulcahy: I know the version off this album) Happy New Year, one and all! My plan for the new year was to indulge myself in a day of rest, relaxation, and knitting. The unwashed laundry and uncleaned bathrooms and wedding planning together managed to exert such gravitational pull, however, that I … Continue reading Happy Birthday Yesterday

I Live Like a Hermit in My Own Head
(Title from "Marching Bands of Manhattan," by Death Cab for Cutie). Thank you, dear readers, for your patience as I continue struggling towards a normal posting schedule. I had never realized it, but my blogging schedule was closely tied to my working schedule. I would take photos and write posts early in the morning, before … Continue reading I Live Like a Hermit in My Own Head
In Another Life
Thanks everyone for your happy thoughts on all the little fuzzies. They were extra cute this weekend--I think they could feel the good karma. Today we are not going to have a post about knitting (I know, sad sniffles from me too). In one life, I am a slightly mad knitter with lots of pets … Continue reading In Another Life
The Epic Shawl
Thanks guys for your comments on the last post! We are thoroughly installed back home now: I bought groceries for a week and washed a small mountain of laundry and have a nice thankyou bag of goodies all ready for Melba's sitter (or carrier, more accurately). I was all ready to sit down and write … Continue reading The Epic Shawl
Warning: Bad Phone Pictures
Sorry guys. I only have a smidgy bit of time to post here. Don't say I didn't warn you. On Thursday I finished my class presentation. *insert trumpet noises* Did I tell you guys I was taking a class at ASU? I was. Digital Humanities, face-to-face, full semester. The paper is still not done, hence … Continue reading Warning: Bad Phone Pictures
