The New Book

  • March 2010
    Sweater Quest: My Epic Yarn of Knitting the Most Fiendishly Difficult Pattern in a Year is not a how-to but a why-for. It's about knitting a very complicated sweater by a certain Scottish designer, who can be very litigious. But it's also about why knitters knit. It'll be published by The Free Press with the same editor as Hillbilly Gothic, because I love her.

many things make a post

The Boy's ear is infected. He seems to have bounced back during the night. We'll see if it holds.

A list:

* It is nice to know that I'm not alone in my love for the cranberry. You have to embrace the zing. Fighting it only leads to disappointment.

* Those of us who own old houses are already living this new game show on the SciFi Channel. It's only a matter of time before we discover nests of scorpions and/or pits of leeches.

* A crystal-filled room = made.of.awesome. Be sure you read how they did it. It is even awesomer than you'd imagined.

* Via Doula K: the Flying Spaghetti Monster lands on a Crossville, TN, courthouse lawn. I find this stunning, if only because Crossville is not exactly a hotbed of liberal thought and is one of the parts of the state where the only radio options are Jesus or commercial country. Ask me how I know this.

* On coaching girls' soccer.

* One of these days, I need to take the Grand Central Station tour. Man, I love that place.

* The Dude abides...and knits?

* Ignore everything that I said about Anathem. What I meant to say was this.

* The Six Kingdoms Yarn Club. Brought to you by the same folk who came up with the Seven Deadly S(p)ins.

I've had cocktails in the campbell apartment. Very la-ti-da. It was like a wonderful secret being in there.

When we were kids, cranberry shrub was always on the Thanksgiving menu--lime sherbert floating in cranberry juice. Mmmmm.

The Dude abides. Good on the Dude. Reference ears not knitting. If it was an experience trying to teach the Diva to knit, imagine the Dude.

Good links! My favorite take on girls soccer is here:

Now I know how to get the look I want in the dining room...
