Is January really over already? It really feels like just yesterday that I was writing up my goals for the year. Overall, I’d give this month a C+/B-. It wasn’t bad, but there’s certainly room for improvement. Let’s hit some bullet points, shall we?
- I’m only 13 miles into my walk to Chattanooga. I [...]

2010 goals
Posted in WoW, arne, exercise, gradschool, hobbies, home, knitting, personal, school on January 2, 2010 | 2 Comments »
In honor of this time of year, here are some specific goals, in no particular order. Some of these are more trivial than others (and some are practically vapid), I realize, but I think being able to knock some stuff off quickly will feel good and will keep me motivated. This will be a living [...]
out-of-this-world socks

My nerdiness knows no bounds, it seems. Within hours of my learning about this pattern, I had bought it and was trying to work out in my head how to make it fit my feet: Viper Pilots. Awesome-looking socks! Based on Battlestar Galactica! How could I resist?
I confessed my nerdiness to Sharon at the LYS [...]
because I know how much you love staring at my pasty white foot

My toes! They are covered! Although, I did find myself wishing my feet weren’t quite so big over the weekend. Just a little off the middle, eh?
Otherwise, I’m thrilled at how well the sock is coming along. Love, love, love this colorway.

An overview of what I have on my needles (and what’s coming next), mostly to get my head wrapped around the big pile o’ paper bags from Hanks:
- Wallaby: I started this last summer on our Colorado vacation. It’s going to be a gift for a friend of ours who has two girls, and Emma [...]

As you may recall, for my birthday last year I got a membership in one of the inaugural Hanks Yarn and Fiber sock clubs. And wayyyy back in October, I got my first skein of yarn, an unbelievably sexeh number called Purple Raven. Since that time, I have dorked around on a few projects and [...]
sweater musings
Posted in arne, knitting on October 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sweater thoughts are taking over my brain. I suppose it’s better than thinking about work or the economy or the election…
Watching a bad movie this weekend, “That’s a pretty cool-looking sweater. I wonder if I could make something like that.”
Riding in on the bus this morning, I found myself thinking, “I really don’t like the [...]
twisted stitches

Did you know I twist my stitches? Yeah, neither did I!
This past weekend was Hanks first anniversary super-mega-ginoromo sale, so Emma and I hit the yarn store to spend the gift certificates that I got for my birthday (and a little more, besides). I’ve decided that my next big project will be Speed Racer from [...]
newest t-shirt

I went to the yarn store yesterday wearing my newest t-shirt. It was coincidental, I swear! I was already wearing that before we decided to go by! What? You don’t believe me? Heh.
The shirt!
And, in the way that’s totally awesome, there’s an accompanying sea shanty.
too close to home, redux

Monday afternoon I was sitting at home, watching a little TV, playing with Lily, when there was a great CRASH and I felt the entire house shake. Brief investigations revealed nothing out of the ordinary inside. Outside, however…
Woo! Isn’t that exciting? Fortunately the branch just landed *on* the roof, and not *through* it. I’m taking [...]
