The new Knitscene is up. I am beginning to conclude that I like this magazine better than its parent, Interweave Knits. The patterns just seem much more wearable, not to mention knittable. I love the Balsam Jacket and want to immediately buy the yarn to make one in my size. This brings up my current [...]

Theresa, the Keyboard Biologist, has committed to improve her house, one room, one month, at a time. Since my [...]

In case you were interested, I have determined at this time that seven-minute icing cannot be made with Splenda. Thank you for playing.

Or I would be, if I could find a USB cord so I could post some pictures. There has been knitting. There will be cooking tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I have a commission for a full bridal party’s worth of wedding jewelry and the flowers for the same wedding. To distract you from the fact that [...]
