Dear Breyer’s:
I’ve been a long time advocate of Breyer’s ice cream and refused to buy any other brand for years because you made a superior product with only natural ingredients. I’m very disappointed that you’ve started putting tara gum in your ice creams. I no longer buy Breyer’s ice cream, as I do [...]
Current Mood: Annoyed
No, wait—it’s only March 31. It just seems like an April Fool.
Not amused.
I’ve knit this ball of yarn several times. First I tried another pattern with 64 stitches, and I couldn’t get it over my heel. See that attempt here. Then I tried that same pattern with 72 stitches. The pooling was awful—see that attempt here.
So then I tried Monkey. This pattern is [...]
Leave it to Ellen Degeneres to respond to Sally Kern with grace and humor–
The original video has had nearly a million views since it was first posted to YouTube on March 11. Sally Kern is a hateful and dangerous woman, especially in her position as an elected official.

THE GOOD
The new hard drive was covered under warranty
Files were backed up to an external hard drive

This is one of the smarmiest and most cynical pieces of bullshit ever created to manipulate young women. An age-old ruse packaged in an acoustic guitar ballad crooned by two romantic long-hairs. Ick.
I was dismayed to hear a cover for this song on Friday at the high school where I teach. Three young [...]
Sometimes I just can’t resist.
Ah, the Ravelry forums. Good times.
ETA: here’s the link for the thread, if you’re interested.
I find it amusing that my comment now has agree (29) and disagree (1)
disagree? with what?
11/22: Zeneedle’s Seraphim is so beautiful, and knit from the Plum colorway of this same yarn. It’s been my inspiration. Since my Seraphim will be knit with heavier wool on bigger needles it will be nearly blanket sized–cool! Much more stylish than a parka this winter.
If I can only get past this [...]

IT’S SNOWING.
I can handle snow dusting the tops of the mountains in September, but snow in the city? NOOOoOoOoOoOoooooo!
I was just mentioning to Anne of Wooly Wonka Fibers the other day that Utah’s seasons go something like this:
5.5 months of summer
2 weeks of fall
5.5 months of winter
2 weeks of spring
REPEAT
Yesterday, while lunching with Katherine [...]
