Yep. Despite the fact that I was promised information by May 30th, it is now May 31st and I still haven’t heard about the status of my abstract. Now, I don’t want to be whiney, but I want to know. I hate waiting and the fact that the date has passed with not a word […]

So remember way back in March, I submitted an abstract for the annual ethnomusicology conference? In Hawaii? Yeah. I find out whether I’ve been accepted tomorrow. Explain to me, then, why I am compuslively checking my e-mail today, as though the internet gods (and the people at SEM) are going to send me the ‘results’ […]

I’ve posted about T-SALP and Amazing Lace here. So check that out. The end of this post is the same as the end of that post. I’ll just add that there will most definitely be so FO’s this week, so keep your eyes peeled.
What does that really mean anyway?
In the […]

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done this, but it’s Wednesday, so here are some things that are making me smile:

It feels minorly ridiculous to be working on lace when it is 54 degrees outside. What happened to spring? We had a brief teaser and now it’s back to winter for us for another week. People down here call this “blackberry winter”, “redbud winter” (which makes no sense, since the redbuds […]

I’ve been frustrated with my inability to post about my Amazing Lace project, and this morning I came up with a solution. First, some beans to spill:
Mom, my Amazing Lace project is for you. I’m sure this is not a surprise. So for the next few weeks (months?), I’m going to be posting about this […]

Oh Oh Oh! I got my Amazing Lace (yarn) in the mail today. It has taken every single ounce of self control I have not to post pictures of it all over this blog, I love it so much. But it’s a gift and I’m trying to make it at least a bitty bit of […]

or (One Reason) Why I Knit
Since I’ve signed up for the Amazing Lace, I’ve been thinking all things lace. Since my project for the Amazing Lace is, for now, top secret, and since my progress on other knitting projects isn’t exactly page turning (how many pictures of the back of orangina, slowly inching along to […]
