I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that when asked which body part you would like to have made bionic, women choose their brain and men choose their penises. Still, it’s pretty funny. Watch the video! Thanks you Feministing!

Random List sans Photos
In the forced absence of photographs I feel confident in blogging without pictorial evidence. But since my mind is random, you get a random list. I was talking to a coworker who quilts and she referred to her “stash”. It took me a second to realize she wasn’t talking about yarn. The shawl is progressing, […]
A sad day indeed….
… I have been putting off taking pictures of my new toy to show you all (as well as new bag to put said toy in and new yarn and new books and new knitting) because I guess I thought if I left my digital camera alone long enough it would fix itself – yes… […]
Can't Blog….
… World of Warcraft ate my BRAINS! I did make a LOT of jam this weekend and did a few loads of laundry, but other than that played with my new toy and played WoW. More on that tomorrow hopefully.
Aspen Saplings
I’ve begun the Aspen Grove shawl for Wooly Wonka Fibers. Last year most of my shawls were top-down triangles, and this year there have been a lot of stoles (although you haven’t really seen any of them, trust me). So for this one I wanted to do something different. Maybe something half-round. First I e-mailed […]
Blog Maintenance
Thanks to all of you for your kind words on David’s death. It has been hard for us, but our SnB on Tuesday was very healing. We were able to talk of our memories of him and the reasons for this tragedy and I think most of us came away with a new resolve to […]
For David

Update on Other People's FO's.
I don’t really have an of my own, so I’ll show off other people’s, k? I’ve been getting way behind on this, so there are quite a few. Check out Lisa’s finished Adamas shawl! It looks great! Amanda finished her Icarus shawl in Handmaiden Lace Silk! I am so envious! SoCherry’s finished Icarus has got […]
I'm teaching!
So I thought maybe you’d all like a heads up on this: I’ll be co-teaching with Susan next year at the Lace in the Woods Retreat at Big Sur in central California. We’ll be discussing lace design and construction, and the retreat will also include Anne Hanson of Knitspot and Cookie A. The retreat will […]
The wonders of Heirloom Tomatoes
This weekend I bought some beautiful heirloom tomatoes at the Downtown Farmer’s Market. I just love the colors of heirlooms. And their skins are thin and lovely instead of being bred to be thick and tough. They’re just the perfect taste of summer! One of them combined with other local ingredients (local artisan sourdough bread […]
