I caved. I signed up for a Facebook account. I had to see what the fuss was about. You know what? It’s kind of fun. A few college friends have emerged, and several relatives (the sort I actually want to hear from) in various geographic locations have popped up. These are the sorts of people I [...]

Wanderings.
A dose of random today.
I still cook. I just don’t cook with the thought that I’ll blog about it on Wednesdays! Not much creativity lately, though – just favorite, tried-and-true stuff. Comforting, familiar, and good for late February.
I still run. It has been a bit sporadic thanks to winter. The treadmill at the gym got [...]

Plugging Away.
Here’s a small taste of Gaelic Mist – it’s very difficult to get a decent photo of this one. I took your advice and very consciously loosened up – it does make things easier. I can see the light at the end of the cable chart tunnel, and then it’s just a few miles of reverse [...]

Friday Fusion.
It has been a week. Murphy’s Law seems to have been doing its diabolical little business. Time to wipe it all off the slate and start fresh, I say! Here’s some this and that to wrap up the week.

Social Networking?
I’m curious. How many of you spend time on sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Linked In, Twitter, etc.?

Beginnings.
Sometimes you just have to give in to the voices in your head. I started Gaelic Mist over the weekend, aided by the semi-annual sale at my LYS (I was never so glad to stand in line for checkout – knitters are clearly doing their part to bring the economy back to life).
I decided to [...]

Ironical.
Just when I was wondering if I’d ever have another thing to say, Cindy gave me this:
Thank you, Cindy! Here’s hoping I can live up to it. (I will refrain from tagging others today, since it’s just too difficult to choose only a handful of favorite blogs!)
One reason for my ennui is that I have all [...]

Not-so-plain vanilla?
I bring you Utilitarian Trekking XXL socks. This was the third go-around for this yarn, which the thoughtful and lovely Angie gave me last year. I took far too long to finish these up once I settled on plain vanilla - maybe it’s because the colorway is more like raspberry and chocolate?
US2 birch DPNs, 64 stitches cast on for 2×2 ribbing, [...]
