My goLite is back on my desk. I bought mine at the end of winter earlier this year, so it was priced lower than it's available for now, but I'd say it's a bargain no matter what. I was having a hell of a time getting out of bed last winter.

A big wave and e-hug to Zonda for a lovely post, with great pics, of her new woolly skeins of Amy's Vintage Office. Thank you, Zonda! Labels: coveting, geekness, happy, Vintage Office, yarn pr0n

Did you wonder how my Blue Moon sweater was going? I can't imagine you did, but for the sake of ongoing knitting content -- and because it's SO GORGEOUS -- here's where I'm at. This picture is quite color accurate -- the colorway is Gypsum, and the yarn is Luscious Silk, a recent addition to the line at Blue Moon!

I can't hold this in any longer. This is the Lorna's Laces colorway on the gorgeousness that is 51% silk, 49% bamboo and oh. Just oh. This colorway was inspired by vintage enamelled steel office furniture and accessories in a variety of shimmery, glowing colors, and this shimmery silk/bamboo version is exactly what I had hoped for.

I've gone to Rhinebeck twice and every time -- as an avowed hoodie junkie -- have been disappointed by the merch they offer. It's very old-school and if you like sweats with watercolor paintings of sheep on them, then you will think I'm crazy.

Hey! I'm in Chicago with hub to visit the parents post-Knitty. We haven't been here in ages. Guess who else is here? The pictures are a hint: Jennie the Potter! She and a whole bunch of cool vendors are at the Renegade Craft fair today and tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, 12 - 10pm.

If you've been reading this blog for a long while, you'll know I'm a huge fan of audiobooks. I spend so much time using my eyes [on the computer, for knitting, beading, etc] that when it comes to focusing on print on a page, I don't last very long, which is frustrating.

My office has recently had a makeover. Wanna see? What, it doesn't look so different from the last time, except significantly messier? Well, you're not paying attention, then. Every good office should have a ukulele. [and a Pee-Wee bobblehead and a set of 3 Serenity action figures including Captain Tightpants in said pants and Jayne with a bigass gun].

One of my standard tactics for some time now with child #2 is that when she gets out of pocket I tell her that I will take away her favorite snack from the freezer or give one of her toys to the first child I see. There are plenty of parents out there in the land of attachment parenting that would probly stone me for that.

the first FO. these are shimmery delica beads in a pre-mixed assortment i bought at a great bead store in Chicago a few years ago. the contents of one tiny tube JUST made a band long enough. here's the clasp from the pretty side. it's sterling and was $6 [i think] at Arton Beads on Queen West in Toronto.
