Recently, D and I decided to merge our households– namely, I will be moving in to his (now almost totally renovated) house (Stella, I totally owe you pictures!). There are many things I do not like about moving, especially when I have to do it twice in one year. I don’t like packing. […]

When I’m in the middle of writing — I mean when I’m really into it — I usually need something to keep my hands busy while my brain works. I’ve knit many things this way and in the process I’ve found that the best knitting for writing is something simple and circular, but not too […]

It’s hard for me these days not to think of Thursday as “the end.” I teach for the last time each week on Thursday. I have four days before I have to teach again, four days with no prep, no need to be on campus, no hard-and-fast deadlines. I constantly need to […]

Pattern: Drunken Bees, from Domesticrafts
Yarn: Koigu KPPM, in what I call “Bombay Sapphire”
Needles: US 1 dpns
Thoughts/Modifictions: Man. This pattern rocks. It’s so squishy and crazy and complicated-looking. But really, it’s one of the most fun knits I’ve done in a while, even with four different attempts. This sock is […]

… I seem to have dropped off the face of you!
I’ve been struggling with technology lately. I don’t know if it is because I spend a lot of time in front of the computer for “work,” or because I’ve been at conferences and having meetings and travelling and generally experiencing life, but — for some […]
