Which New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I'm not sure how I got here today. I was creating a LiveJournal Account (yeah - like I'll blog there any more than I do here - not to mention I set my preferences to display in Hungarian, so it takes effort for me to navigate around.) and tried to type in another URL, but I spelled it wrong and just ended up typing "t" instead of adding "t" to what I had already typed, and that somehow brought me to Blogger. So I figured I'd post.

I finished my computer gloves. That's probably the first project I've completed in what, 6+ months? It only took about 10-15 hours. I should knit more.

I got the WFB fleeces that I wanted. First time in 5-6 years I've been able to score a jet black lamb's fleece. Cool beans. Looking forward to getting those. At least it will give me some new colors of fleece to stare at in my office.

Well, signing into Blogger got me a new Gmail account, so I'm going to go play over there for a bit.

I hear its warm out today. It's supposed to go up to 82 degrees in NYC today. 84 in Philadelphia. The northeast is warmer than Florida. But I wouldn't know, I'm stuck inside.

Now that there is no more windchill, I'm crafting more. I tend to do all of my hobbies outside. Well, except for homebrewing. I've been working on gloves for a couple of days. (Still doing ribbing on 0s) I'm also trying to spin up some space dyed roving from Rheinbeck. I've got a pile of 7 skeins of sport weight wool that I'm trying to figure a purpose for (770 yards blue, 154 yrds eggplant, 154 yrds mauve). Any suggestions?

Welcome back to the twice-a-month blog. (how pathetic)

Well it's only appropriate as I haven't gotten any crafting done since the last time. I have been thinking about it though. That's probably because we're coming up on shearing season again, and I'll probably buy at least 3 fleeces, despite the fact theat the 3 fleeces from last year have not yet left my office. (Bags of fleece make excellent insulation in a drafty space.)

Also I've been playing over on orkut. I think that's more up my alley at the momemnt because I can talk about homebrewing, then switch to spinning, Hungarian, bacon, or The Tick. I don't feel so pigeon-holed into posting things like "I haven't knitted anything this (week/month/year)", albeit the running theme of this blog, when in actuality, I've been doing lots of other things instead (brewing, volleyball, travelling, etc.)

Well I'm off to the Northwest US next week. Here's to hoping I don't capsize in the river again!
