like last year at this time, i am watching alias. i am almost halfway through season 2. today wasn’t the worst day i’ve ever had but it wasn’t the best either. jozelle came into the apartment this morning, telling me that my front passenger side tire was totally flat. but! i went out to look [...]

using regia silk. i did not like the way it felt at all; i do think this is something that should be knit in yarn without nylon. i would like to knit this in cascade 220, i think, for my dad. i am watching alias again, and drinking tea, and feeling kind of sick to [...]

tonight jo and i went with steph and a few of her friends to wentzville, where steph’s friend maggie made supper and provided pumpkins to be carved. steph’s friend val carved this one — super cute. (yeah, it’s a white pumpkin — with green insides!) earlier, annie came by: while in chicago, she purchased for [...]

jozelle is probably the only person i know who’d wear a sweater i knitted — so a few months ago, i started knitting her a sweater. i knit three balls of yarn into the sweater before she decided that she wanted a different sweater, a cardigan. this is the beginning of the cardigan — 2 [...]

i knitted this cardigan in under 15 hours. it’s not very long; it comes down to right underneath my boobs. it is perfect to wear with my strapless sundress. i made matzo ball soup today, and potato salad, but nothing satisfied me until i ordered some pizza and crappy pizza delivery dessert. whatever, i’m crabby [...]

at the grocery store on the way home from the fedex store, i saw this chocolate called “trinidad” and wondered, caught in a cliche, if there happened to be real trinidadians in it. of course jozelle and i had to buy it. that is, like, $1.49 that i am never going to get back. there [...]

2008 09 23 (turning water into wine), originally uploaded by octette_stars. i was feeling really down about my knitting projects and how everything is taking a lot time. i am working on big projects, though, so of course they are going to take a long time. that doesn’t stop me from wanting to knit something [...]

shiksa has begun to take after vincent and drink out of people’s cups that have been left on the floor. since everything gets left on the floor, it means a lot of cat spit in cups that then have to be rinsed out in order for us to use them again. but she’s really cute, [...]

i am terrible at knitting lace. it only looks good if you squint and it gets kind of blurry. i am knitting this art nouveau stole because jozelle wanted to see what it looks like when you slip a stitch, knit the next one, and pass the slipped stitch over the knit one. i guess [...]
