No pictures today because all my knitting looks pretty much the same. I finished another band of black and another band of white, so Luna just looks longer I finished one of the Regia socks and started the second but socks are pretty boring to look at I didn't work on Serpentine I didn't work on the Jade hat that is in time-out Selbu to Sahara is ten rows longer, more about that... I decided that if S->S is ever going to be finished, I have to set myself a schedule. I counted how many rows are left in the body, and then I decided if I'm going to wear it in October, I have to finish the body in 10 weeks. I have 150 rows on the body... therefore I have to knit 15 rows per week. I doubt this schedule will survive the day, because today is the last day of the week, and I have five rows to go. However, I did finish a book! Robyn's Book Reviews for June In June, I read three books (and it's unlikely that I'll finish any more in the next five days): "The Davinc...

I just got back from my weekly run, and I am melting all over my chair. I could feel for about the last ten minutes that I was dehydrated, and that's never good. It's supposed to be 32 degrees today. Luna I named it after Luna Lovegood on the boy's suggestion. My what a poor photo this is. If I knew how to make it thumbnail size perhaps it would look better. However, it does prove that the latest sweater in my obsession with Barbara Walker's Top-down Set-in-sleeve is going to fit just fine. It will also be an awesome and often worn addition to my wardrobe, I'm sure. It needs another row of white, and then will finish off with black ribbing. I have decided to get over my obsession with not posting decent photos of stuff I designed myself, since who am I kidding? I have no real plans or desire to publish this stuff in a magazine. More on my current obsession with people who complain about parents who leave work at quitting time to get their kids... I can understand th...

Well, the psychotic relationship between my camera and Baffy here continues. I'm trying to upload pictures, but I may have to do that at work, then mail them to myself to upload them from home (since I'm not supposed to install software on office computers, which is probably a good rule, though inconvenient). I'm going to try once more. Perhaps I won't choose Canon's software this time. Prairie Tank, Sock and Book I Read I have no idea where I was going with this picture, but here it is. The book was good. The boy made me read it. Prairie Blocking And this is Prairie blocked. It's finished now. I've even worn it. I finished Sigyn, too. The socks are not done, however. I have many things to rant about. I'll try to choose just one. Today in Salon's Broadsheet I read an entry that was all about parents who leave work at 6 to go get their kids, and non-parent coworkers who feel put out by it. I have just one thing to say: No one is getting paid to work a...
