Dash
We're sneaking off to Pittsburgh for an evening over the weekend. There's a concert (shocking I know, so unlike us). Along the way we'll visit a yarn store (or two), a book store (or three), and just perhaps the odd brewery. There's a plan, and there will be a report [...]
Wow…
Guys...I'm speechless. You've known me for a while now, and you know I don't normally suffer from a lack of words. But all I can say right now is wow. Then I sort of shake my head and blink a lot. Then I say wow again. The response to Knitter's [...]
Curiouser and Curiouser
The Boy and I have reservations at a very nice restaurant tonight. If you've been reading a while, you might recall that I mentioned that the book writing process has surprisingly few moments where it feels like you've really reached a milestone. There are lots of concurrent steps, and just [...]
Not Productive
This weekend was not productive. I did not clean my house. I did not do my laundry. I did not proof the book. I did not write up a new pattern. I didn't even knit. I ate tasty food. I read books (fiction books...not scholarly books...an unheard of luxury). I [...]
No Really, It’s OK
Every now and then someone will send me a message either apologizing because they've made one of the Silk Road Socks projects in a wild color or asking if I'd mind if they do. My response is usually 'awesome, can I see it' or 'of course it's ok.' Really folks, [...]
Thanksgiving Sale
All of my Thanksgiving plans are set. I've secured a new game (Mansions of Madness, let's hear it for games with 20+ page rulebooks), we've found a way to consume the requisite Thanksgiving pizza, and we're finishing up the evening with dessert with friends. Should be a lovely day. Tomorrow, [...]
Finally!
Fellow knitters, because I love you and want you to be happy, I'm going to share my discovery with you. For the last two years I've been bemoaning the lack of graph paper post-its. I've drawn vertical lines on the sort of post-its that come with horizontal lines. I've put [...]
Maps
I am generally pretty good at spatial reasoning tasks. I can build things. I can tell you if that piece of furniture will fit up the stairs or fit in the living room. And I can fit a whole lot of stuff in a very small suitcase. But I cannot [...]
Whippersnapper
This was supposed to happen Tuesday, but it's ready now and I'm not the patient type, so I've jumped the gun and done it today. Both the weather and The Boy proved exceptionally agreeable, and many photos were taken. While the sorry state of our yard is usually something of [...]
Unexpected
Last Thursday, we headed over to Lakewood to see a show by Puscifer. Some of The Boy's friends from high school were in town for it. They had extra tickets and asked if we'd like to come along. Working on the theory that leaving the house and interacting with people [...]
