If I were a book…

ETA: Schrodinger (yes, the one I test-knit the Twisted Tweed socks for) is running a contest in preview of her new Etsy shop. Go over there right now and leave a comment for a chance to win a cool cube-shaped sock bag!

What? What? There was a miniseries? How did I miss this? Oh yeah… I was buried under a ton of books in grad school. Time to update my Netflix queue! : ) Cute quiz, even if I’m not Camelot-obsessed. (Quiz via Kimbooktu.)

How’s that for weird? I hate when Munchkin does that, I swear, it’s like she’s addicted. She likes to eat popcorn (plain), cream cheese, or ice cream and will sniff you out if you try and hide it from her. But I guess this post needs to be about me, so, here goes…

I was tagged by Stephanie for this meme going around currently. Recently, I also saw this conversation on Runaway Bride about how one person is weird, another quirky. Seems pretty much a matter of perspective.

Ack, this week zoomed by! I have not had time to blog or spend much time at the computer lately. I have the day off tomorrow, finally, so will be catching up then! Meanwhile, here’s something fun to distract you. : )

Parts of this are taken from the Name Game meme, and from The Amazing Meganame Generator at Blogthings. Continue reading »

There’s a Birthday meme floating around blogland. Look up your birthday (month and day) at Wikipedia to see what happened on that day. The number varies, but usually you’re to post three of each: events, births and deaths. There’s no way I will be able to limit myself to just 3 each, so I’ll list the ones interesting to me.

Quick Madder Ribbed socks update… I haven’t been able to work on them very much, but I plan to finish them both by tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed, except when knitting!

I have a BUSY weekend coming up. On Saturday, my parents and I are going to Shepherd’s Harvest. Althought I don’t have my secret pals’ (yes, plural) information yet, I’m hoping to get some fun gifts there. Then on Sunday morning, Mom and I are team-walking at Race for the Cure at MOA. (I’m debating whether I should bring a knitting project; I’m tempted, but I know it will be crowded, and I may not have an appropriate project for walking.)

Oh yeah! I’m hoping for some MDSW weather mojo… the weather prediction: rainy and cool this weekend. : /

Dyann tagged me for a meme. I don’t have a hubby or SO, so I skipped that. Continue reading »

Knitting Spots


19.Apr.06 ~ 9:16 am

kat knits is holding this fun contest/meme: Name 5 places (other than home and LYS) where you’ve knitted.

It’s been fun reading all the various answers. Here’s mine!

  1. At Mall of America, while mall-walking.
  2. Walking around the Highland Park neighborhood.
  3. While traveling (Wellesley in my old dorm!!, Biloxi-Gulfport, and Los Angeles).
  4. At work.
  5. At Mom’s office.

Knitting update:
The Madder Ribbed socks are nearly to the point where I will have to start the heel flap. I’m trying to decide whether they are too tight before continuing (or frogging).

The Sixth Sense socks are coming along well. I’m about halfway through the instep and hope to get to the toe decreases by the end of today.
