Day 18 - Lion Brand Yarn Studio Art 11/22/09

Had a lovely pre-Charger game trip to the LBYS with the roomies to pick up some inspiration for new projects, and got to enjoy the current art they have on display.  So cool!  I want to make them for my living room. People craft the coolest things.

Day 17 - Arcade Mitts 11/21/09

Kind of random, but I saw these at Urban Outfitters and they made me smile.  They make me think of things that people create and post on Ravelry, and it cracks me up they are being made more mainstream (and makes me a tiny bit sad as well...) But really, who doesn't love a good videogame inspired knitted item?


Day 16 - Farewell, Honorary Title 11/20/09

The Honorary Title, one of my favorite bands, had their farewell performance tonight.  Luckily, Jarrod Gorbel (who for all intents and purposes is the band) will continue on in a solo career, so not as sad as it could be I guess, but then end of an era nonetheless.


In other news, the fish hat (for which the yarn was purchased last weekend in Wallingford) is well on it's way to done!  What a difference size 8 needles can make!

Day 15 - Surprise Photo 11/19/09

A while back, I made my niece a tic-tac-toe blanket for her birthday.  I know she and my nephew were enjoying it, but as a wonderful surprise today, my sister sent me a picture of them playing with it!  Totally made my day.

Day 14 - How I End My Nights 11/18/09

This is the usual - talking on the phone with Adam while knitting.  It makes me happy.

Day 13 - Woot Off!!! 11/17/09

Woot.com is addicting, and nothing is better than a woot off.  Clearly.

Day 12 - BlackJack the Evil 11/16/09


My friend Masha has a cat named Blackjack, and he's evil.  That's about all there is to know, but you can see the proof in his face.
