Hurricanes and High Seas
Greetings famous Arizona! After last week’s Epic Rain, we then received the remnants of a hurricane, of all things. I am sorry for all the people who have suffered damage from the rain, but unlike the wacko politicians who usually put Arizona in the news, these storms were unavoidable. Yesterday’s dark, threatening clouds didn’t produce…

Half a Librarian
Thank you, everyone, for hanging in there through me grumping–and then disappearing. I was out of town for a few days, and now I am back. My inbox has been gathering enough e-mails in my absence to start pulling objects with low mass into its gravitational field, but before I go there I wanted to…

Not All Here
Sorry, mon peeps. I am not all here. The short of the long has never been my strong suit, but I will try here. Short: In early August, a good friend of mine listened as I gleefuly listed all the bothersome little things that I was able to get done while being unemployed. When I…

Getting my Knit Together
Thank you everyone for your commiseration on the vest! After nearly sixteen years knitting, I should know that garments need to be tried on before they are nearly finished. But no, I waited to try on the vest until I was halfway done with the collar. What I did not take the time to show…

Little Critters
There is a little baby coming in our circle of friends, and I am knitting it something so it can be strollered about in style. Well, probably not a little baby: both its parents are tall. I have bought yarn accordingly. More to come very soon, because worsted-weight yarn after weeks of lace is giddyingly…

Bright Brown Morning Sky
This morning I got up, all excited by the nice gentle warmth in the air (believe me, it won’t last past mid-morning), went to the window to greet the day…and got an eyeful of smog. See it hanging there around the mountain? Ickies. I had to, had to, had to submit a job application before…

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…

Of Course this is Interview Prep
Thank you all for your lovely comments on Mousie’s story! I have been knitting along over here since then, but the blogging has been on the back burner as I prepare for an interview. I really dislike interviews. A lot. So let’s take a brain break and talk about something happy: finished objects. When I…

Novel Concept
Happy Wednesday, mon peeps. The hat flew off the needles, but although I carefully packed it next to my camera with my sadly unblogged Greenies sweater, the trifecta of daylight, knitwear, and photographer did not materialize over the weekend. While I wait for the stars align, I will attempt to distract you with random posts…
