Back Burner Projects

29 July 2005, Friday 9:53 P GMT-08
My second summer sock is knit up to the point where I need to start the short-row heel. It's waiting for a moment when I am ready to concentrate on such things. Meanwhile, I am contemplating ripping the first sock back to this point as well. These

Needles Needed

28 July 2005, Thursday 11:59 P GMT-08
I'm making a little pouch for John's Arthurian Tarot cards. I measured the deck and cast on to my size 4 double point needles. (Just for my own reference, the deck is 8.25" around, 4.75" tall, and 1" deep.) I knit a few rows and then set it aside

Watching and Reading

27 July 2005, Wednesday 3:44 P GMT-08
We went to see The Island last night. It was a pretty typical summer action flick with just a dash of a thought-provoking sci-fi twist which keeps your brain from entirely shutting down. Don't analyze the story too much though or it will start to f

Craft Store Goodies

25 July 2005, Monday 7:47 P GMT-08
Today I ventured out to my closest Jo-Ann store which actually isn't all that close. However, wonder of wonders, there happens to be a Michaels in the same plaza so between the two of them the trip is seldom wasted. The loot from this trip is pictu

Returning to the Muggle World

19 July 2005, Tuesday 10:29 P GMT-08
I haven't been knitting or blogging much due to the arrival of a certain book on Saturday. I had pre-ordered it through Amazon, and they guaranteed that I would receive it on the release date. True to their word, this appeared in my mailbox right

Monday Night at the Movies

18 July 2005, Monday 11:59 P GMT-08
I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight. Your appreciation of this film may depend on whether you are a fan of Johnny Depp, the 70's movie, and/or the original books it's based on. Since I qualify on all three counts, I thought it

Five More Days

11 July 2005, Monday 10:39 P GMT-08
I went to my library today, and I checked out the first three Harry Potter books on audio CD. (Books 4 and 5 weren't available.) I'm going to cast on for Donna and knit away as I listen and settle back into the wizard world.

Harry Potter Bookscarf Pattern

5 July 2005, Tuesday 11:59 P GMT-08
I have long admired the house scarves worn in the Harry Potter films. Since I don't have much use for a woolly scarf here in San Diego, I decided to make this bookscarf in anticipation of the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, being
