People = animals?
Wednesday, 31 August 2005 10:35 A GMT-05
So why does it seem to me that people are becoming nothing more than feral animals? I just read an article about the tragedy in New Orleans mentioning that looters broke into a Wal*Mart and emptied the gun department. A looter shot a cop in the hea

Festival of WIPs
Sunday, 28 August 2005 3:21 P GMT-05
I thought I'd share a few pics of my WIPs today, since there are so many and none are likely to be finished anytime soon. This is Aibhlinn so far, only about 10 rows in, but I'm liking it! Not sure if I'll make the bobbles called for in the pattern
More Yarn = New Project
Thursday, 25 August 2005 8:06 A GMT-05
I forgot one project for the WIP list: My So-Called Scarf. It's slow going because the yarn, while lovely, is brutal on my hands. It's a bit like knitting with mohair razor blades...so that makes seven.
But of course, I had to cast on for an eig
Felted FOs

The moment you've all been waiting for...ta dah! My first fair isle project - the Kristina Bag, by Black Sheep Bags. Isn't she bee-yoo-ti-ful? I used most of one skein each of Cascade 220 in black and Noro Kureyon in ah...I can't remember the colo
TGIF!
Friday, 19 August 2005 9:02 A GMT-05
Yawn. These rainy mornings make me sleepy. Plus, I'm bored (as usual). I might have to be inordinately creative today. :)
I got the last pattern repeat done on the Kristina Bag last night and started the flaps. My left wrist has been hurting,
Thank you, SP5!

I had a great SP5 - her final goodie box arrived yesterday along with a card revealing her identity: the lovely Amy! I am the happy recipient of my very first Addi Turbos, two skeins of luscious Alpaca from Knit Picks, and Last Minute Knitted Gifts.
New Blog!

Nothing particularly new in the world of Minxknits...so please go visit my new food blog, Minxeats! I do like to go on about food, and didn't think this was the most appropriate place for it, hence the new site. Enjoy, and please comment there, too
What A Headache
Friday, 12 August 2005 9:38 A GMT-05
I had a ferocious sinus headache yesterday afternoon and again this morning, so I stayed home from work. Not that I am missing anything there....
I needed some black Cascade 220 for another felted bag I started the other night, so I decided to wi
Full Moon??
Wednesday, 10 August 2005 8:21 A GMT-05
Is it full moon time again? The freaks were out in droves yesterday. I understand there are lots of panhandlers in Baltimore City, particularly in the area in which I work, but I got hit up for money three times yesterday, twice by the same person
I've been tagged...
Sunday, 7 August 2005 2:40 P GMT-05
Sedie tagged me with this little meme. I'll play along, but since I don't do chain letters (and not understanding the whole concept of a chain letter on a blog...) I'm skipping that part:

Secret Pal 5
Thursday, 4 August 2005 8:54 A GMT-05
I received a fun package from my SP5 yesterday - a hank of KnitPicks laceweight alpaca and a great lacy scarf pattern, a cute note pad shaped like a flip flop, and a bar of glycerin soap with a sun motif (I only use glycerin soap on my face, so this
Merci
Wednesday, 3 August 2005 9:21 A GMT-05
...to those of you who advised me not to continue a transaction with the suspect jewelry-buyer. I have not responded to her since Sunday, nor have I heard from her. And I hope not to again.
I finished the Silk Garden entrelac scarf the other nig
Tell Me If You Think This Is Weird...
Monday, 1 August 2005 7:58 A GMT-05
On Friday, I received an e-mail from someone who was interested in my jewelry. She wrote in very broken English, but had an un-ethnic name. I wasn't quite sure what she was asking of me, but it seemed that she wanted to buy some items and pay for th
