Stealth Knitting Revealed

Well, I started gift knitting over the summer, which was a good thing, given what my autumn turned out to be like. If you are interested in that stuff, you can go to my flickr photoset here and check out what was involved. The photos are completely lacking in creative arrangement, but most are clear and fairly accurate in color representation.

My co-conspirator in spinning this past summer, Paula, has a son living in Beijing. She recently posted a link to his blog, which includes a very scary video of a Beijing bike ride, and also this post about his cute new humidifier. In the same vein, since my house has been so dry I've been generating sparks each time I touch metal or the cat, behold the penguin:

The vapor comes out his beak.

Lady Jane: "I'm not going near that!"

Well, there's this spinning wheel in my living room I haven't touched in months; I hope to make use of it today, and so have more fiber photos soon.

New Start

The least said about the last two months, the better.

They involved several ER visits, two hospital stays, dehydration, infection, blood clot, and general ickyness.

But, I'm better now and on the road to regaining my stamina (and motivation to blog). I go back to work on Monday after two weeks of providentially timed winter break.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Wish I were there . . . the high here yesterday was 14F and overnight the wind chill was below zero.

Well . . .

Not much to say. I've been persistently ill lately and the doc and I are trying to get to the bottom of it. Tests, ER visits, yuck, blah, blah, blah.

Got some knitting done whilst lying on the couch but it's mostly holiday gifts, so no pix.

Still here, still slogging, back with a more peppy, cheery blog as soon as possible.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOCTOR JENNY!
You're my favorite sister, even if Mom does like you best!
