socks and flowers

June 24, 2008

The Summer of Socks 2008 KAL started on Saturday, so I decided to set aside the Atomic Toes socks (which frankly haven’t been getting much attention anyway) in favor of something that will actually count for the KAL. So Saturday morning I cast on for Ziggy. I’ve also been trying to get the “Secret Project” [...]

thinking about blogging

June 22, 2008

Those of you who check in here regularly may have noticed some irregularity in posting. I started up the new blog in April, was a bit sketchy about posting, but then in May I was suddenly posting every day! June hit, and I’m all sketchy again. I have made an important (for me, anyway) discovery. [...]

finally, sunshine!

June 13, 2008

The sun finally decided to grace us with its presence this afternoon, and Nik and I went out to take advantage of it. This was the view from our table at dinner tonight: And here we are: I had one of these: We parked on the east side of the Willamette, near the Hawthorne Bridge, [...]

big old jet airliner

June 10, 2008

We just watched an episode of Don’t Forget the Lyrics. The contestant made it to $200,000 and was trying for $350,000. Her song choices were: “Jet Airliner” by The Steve Miller Band or “You Sexy Thing” by Hot Chocolate. My reaction was something like, “Wait. What? Jet Airliner? I can’t imagine what that is, and [...]

fun day!

May 31, 2008

I had so much fun this evening that I almost don’t remember work today. Twisted had a Lantern Moon trunk show this evening, which was a lot of fun. I’ve never seen so many people in the shop! They brought so much stuff, it was amazing. And beautiful. I coveted lots of things, but satisfied [...]

minor misinterpretation

May 30, 2008

A few blocks north of us on 72nd, there’s a smallish commercial building on a corner. When I first moved in with Nik–a little over 3 years ago–it was a strip club of some sort. The strip club moved, “For Lease” signs went up and a while later a new business opened. The new place [...]

knitting firsts

May 25, 2008

Emma asked us to post a “first” in knitting, and initially I couldn’t really think of anything. I’m pretty adventurous, so there isn’t much I’ve *never* tried. Perhaps my imagination is failing me, though. However, I did recently learn a new technique which I used on my Twisted Sky Socks: knitting socks on two circular [...]

The week was a bit grueling, but it’s finally Friday. Yay! And it’s a 3-day weekend! YAY! And even better, I actually get ALL THREE days off! [For those of you new to my blog...let's just say that there are certain things that really suck about working in payroll. For instance: holidays. Most of the [...]
