this is the blue heron yarn that i bought to make a wedding gift for lisa. (it’s a clapotis, of course!) i started it a couple of months ago, before i went off on my epic trip around the country in november, and then i ripped it out and started it again this morning. today [...]
lunch with steph today. we ate italian and watched good eats, and i gave her the wristwarmers i’d knit for her out of super bright orange yarn. i totally found my camera this afternoon, inside a bag, inside another bag. it is really dry inside my apartment. blah blah blah, i am super boring today.

was awake all night, slept all day, am awake again. this is the yarn i’ve been spinning. i bought the fiber at the fiber studio in mpls — 4 oz, totally finished. it looks pretty good. i plied some of it with itself, and some of it with some orange merino i spun a couple [...]
i am home from minneapolis. the first thing i did was order eggplant; i’ve been craving it all week. as per usual for the place around the corner, it took twice the time they said it would, and my food is cold and undercooked. oh well — i am still glad to have eggplant. my [...]
