the horror

My friend made this video; I think it's really powerful.

wishlists

I always have one, in one shape or another. It used to be scribbled on paper, or just in my mind, or in a book. Then I discovered Froogle, which is useful, but not everything is there. Well, friends, now there is Wists. You download a simple icon to your browser and POOF! Anything on the web is a click away from being on your wish(wists)list. They even give you a clever little scrolling doohicky you can embed in your blog. It's right there, to the left. Clever, huh? Now go make your wish list so I can get you a gift!

project madness

This sweater has been brewing in my mind for a long time, maybe a year or more. I have even started it more than once, with different yarns. It's finally no longer a fantasy; I think it turned out really well. I used a silk/rayon blend that I had picked up to weave with for the main part and Firenze for the trim. The pattern is from the Bernat free pattern page. It calls for a hood, and I knitted one, but somehow I manage not to get hoods right, so I scrapped it and just picked up stitches for a collar.



Yep, those are the fab pants Jayne made again!

great hat!

My grandpa got me this hat when he lived in Israel. It has survived nicely, don't you think?
