And…. just in time for Halloween…. Yarn: The leftover yarn from my Dr. Who scarf, which became a pullover (Dr. Whubey). Pattern: Hallowig (Ravelry; Knitty.com) Notes: Every year I say I want to knit one of these, and every year I never get around to it. So even though I …

Yarn: Yarn Pirate BFL in “Cupcake” Pattern: Broadripple (Ravelry; Knitty.com) Notes: Started these as a KAL in the Hanks group on Ravelry a number of months ago… but kept putting them aside for other, more pressing things. Finally buckled down and made myself finish them last week!
(Originally posted on April 4, 2007) You think You think to yourself, this sucks. And it does. You think to yourself, this isn’t fair. And it isn’t. You think to yourself that this man next to you is getting, as Neil wrote, what everyone gets. A lifetime. How much longer …
Yarn: Malabrigo worsted Pattern: Coronet (Ravelry; Knitty.com) Notes: Knitted to teach a class at the shop.
How did I not blog this a couple weeks ago? Sigh. Yarn: Malabrigo worsted weight, and some of my handspun Pattern: Wicked (Ravel it!) Notes: Whipped this out as a shop sample, to show people what we’d be knitting in a class.
And the Question of the Week is… Have you ever taken a sick day when you weren’t really sick? I think the answer to this should be “duh!” Or “do hangovers count as sick?”
The only reason I haven’t been writing daily updates is because every day it sounds better and better, and that just makes me want to be there more! Sunday – Joe sat up an hour today. We took him around to see the little aviary, full of finches and a …
Another toss-up this week; can I choose all seven? I really like the one that I took of myself holding a photo of Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe; but overall I think this week has to go to the truly creepy sky that we all woke up to last week. …
I think I’m destined to be a day behind all this week. Let’s just accept that, and move on…? Don’t forget– you can have multiple choices, and fill in something under “other” if your favorite vampire isn’t in here!
Totally forgot yesterday was Monday. By the time I remembered it was Monday (not Friday), I was at work and way too busy. So… uh… pretend it’s Monday…? The Question of the Week is… what additional commandment would you add to the ten? My answer is after the cut…
Yesterday on my drive to work, about five houses down from me, I thought I saw a burned-out firefighters coat in the yard of a house. “That can’t be what I saw,” I thought (glancing at the house as I drove past), “that house is fine except for being a …
Remember how I said I didn’t want to upload all these photos while ganking Internet from the neighbor with the unlocked wireless…? I finally got around to uploading them at home… [pictobrowser type=”flickr” userID=”haldechick” albumID=”72157622602848842″]
Every day when he gets better and better, it gets harder and harder for me to be happy to be home. Now that he’s recovering so well, pushing himself so hard, I just want to be there. I feel more and more disconnected from the happenings around me here in …
From a technical standpoint, there were other photos I took this week that were prettier; but you know I had to go with this one. You can see the rest of my daily photos here.
(Originally posted on May 21, 2007) Transcend this Here’s a Bill story that I couldn’t tell at his memorial service. When I was in the 11th grade, I went to P.K. Yonge Laboratory School. (I think they’ve since replaced “Laboratory” with “Developmental Research”; makes the kids feel less like lab …

I did a similar poll on the old blog, but… OH WELL. The old blog is gone, so you’re gonna get repeats when my brain refuses to think of new things.
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM, picked up on my Thanksgiving trip last year when running to Chicago for the day. Pattern: Marigold (Ravel it!) Notes: At one point Cathy looked at me and said, “that’s your Flat Stanley, isn’t it?” and thus the name of the socks were born. Many of you …
The whole thing was worth it to see Uncle Joe sit up in bed, unsupported. He looked weak and wobbly, but determined and humorous. What else happened that day? Nothing really seems important other than Uncle Joe wearing his glasses, holding hands, and making funny faces. And lifting his arm …
