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.

moving is really stressful. i know this picture doesn’t look like it, but i did quite a lot today. i packed up two closets. i took out the trash. i made decisions about strategies for packing more. i put up stuff on freecycle that people are going to come take (hopefully, if they ever show [...]

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 [...]

2009 01 01 (dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city)

i didn’t take a picture on dec 31st, because i forgot to do it and then i forgot my camera and then my phone was out of charge. anyway, i’m guess i’m ready for 2009.
