It Was This Big, I Swear

Adrian over at Hello Yarn has posted a tutorial to make your own yardage counter. It's pretty cool and were I more inclined to build junk I might do it. An alternative for those as lazy as me? A two by four with two nails three feet apart, evey loop around your homemade counter is two yards. Enjoy!

Women in history

Noelle over at hedgeblog has been pitting up some women in history posts. They're great posts to read if you have a couple of extra minutes.

Boy's Don't Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses

I'd like to kick Dorothy Parker - she's the person who came up with this saying back in 1925. Glasses are not the signature of a homely, nerdy, uptight girl whose only goal in life is to file library cards. Glasses are sophisticated, sweet, sexy, stylish and simply superb. The girls who wear them may be smart, but that doesn't mean they're boring prudes. Glasses have just gotten a bad reputation, and for no good reason.

Happy π day!

True story: This morning I found myself humming the pi song. It was only an hour or so later that my friendly neighborhood NPR announcer reminded me today's the day. (I probably noticed the date and it rattled around in my skull until hitting the pi song node.)

Don't miss the pi drop!

Lace

Eunny has started a series called "Majoring in Lace" on her blog. It's like a FAQ of lace knitting, the everything you always wanted to know but didn't know who to ask. Even if you're not terribly interested in lace knitting, I encourage you to go see what she's saying, it very interesting and there are deffinately tips and ideas you can apply to you worsted or bulky knitting.

I Love Nerds

Observe.

I Also Love The Interwebs

If you haven't seen this then you're not full apprecaiting the capablities of your computer.

I Wish They All Could Be...

Could be what? Certainly not California girls, maybe just gone would be nice.
I don't even know what to say except curse you S for emailing this to me.

Is it bad that this:

"The King is back in all his brilliance to keep the Prince and his cousins continuously rolling as you take the adventure on the road with your PSP. The royal family, taking a break from their celestial construction, find themselves on vacation on their very own sunny island when the Prince finds himself cast with the responsibility of creating islands of katamari for homeless animals. Play as the Prince or any of his returning and new PSP exclusive cousins as you roll up new objects in all new levels. Take on friends in wireless play as you roll up as many objects as possible! Enjoy the fun and quirkiness in an all-new installment for its first ever foray into the handheld world."

makes me want to buy a PSP?

UPDATE: I added the link I forgot the first time around. D'oh!

Are You Serious?

Doesn't gumble know that 5 or 6 people out there actually watch his show?

Whatcha Been Up To?

Should I have said "To what have you been up?" I don't know but I'm sure G knows someone I could ask!

I'm in the process of knitting some long fingerless gloves. I think they'll be great at work; I love having a great big window but it is chilly with a capital C in the winter. Observe:

Knit with Noro Silk Garden on US 8.

Also I finally took a pic of my panta:

Knit with Noro Lily on US 5.

Remember when I said I don't really go for the quizzes? Well it's still true but I couldn't resist this one....

Thank You!

Thank you Secret Pal who is from Georgia and is not enjoying the 50º on Wednesday to 19º on Thursday temperature change we've been cursing up here. I have to admit I've been remiss in properly thanking my SP, but my back is better, I'm caught up on most of my work and most importantly, I have batteries for my camera (expect more pics soon).

My lovely and talented (I know I've never seen him/her but what do you care? Stop being so nit-picky.) SP sent me 2 skeins of Sockotta, cotton/wool blend sock yarn) and some Gevalia hazelnut coffee. I'm usually a straight joe drinker, no flavors, but this coffee is damn good.

Thank you, thank you, thank you SP, for the great gifts and for being so patient while I recovered.

How I Will Die

I'm not normally big on the quizzes but Margot had this one on her blog and I wanted to know my fate...

You will perish of fits. Repeat this to yourself:

"Things can work out even if I don't get
my way. Things can work out even...."


What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

Mother's Milk

I just bought this hoodie:

Jealous?

I've been in a very hip hop mood lately, I blame it on myspace. I've been searching for artists I love so I can add them to my friends page and it makes me want to listen to more and more and more.
Feeling like a head yourself? Like to shop locally? Go over to Steez and visit Fattie B.

On another musical note I just bought the Six Feet Under soundtrack (Vol. 2), some Iron & Wine (iTMS link), some Mos Def, some Nina Simone and some Death Cab For Cutie.
I'm a crazy impulse shopper anyway but I just can't seem to control myself over at the iTMS.
