Well, I finished the calorimetries for Stacy. They turned out pretty nice, although the second one (blue) is kind of wonky. I did the exact same gauge as the first, so by all means, this shouldn't have been too difficult. I'll admit, however, that I was watching Little Miss Sunshine during the crucial points of this project.. Perhaps I forgot to move a marker somewhere along the line..



Despite the asymmetry of the blue one, it still looks pretty nice. I placed the button on it a little further away from the end to sort of off-set the weirdness.



Enjoy!

Now I'm looking for a new project to start so that I can further push aside the stuff I should be doing. (See previous post.) There's this really great site called ravelry.com, which is a knitting and crocheting community that has just loads of patterns for pretty much anything you can make out of yarn. I forgot about it for a long time until today.

Zippered pouch porn..

Every post seems to start out about the same, so I've decided to start out this and possibly future posts with something a little different. Probably a little random because it tends to be my style. First, random: Remember Marriedtothesea ? It's been a couple years since I followed this webcomic, but today we reunited, however briefly. Their comics along with the original Toothpastefordinner , range from probably-too-smart-for-me to omg-hilarious. In any case, here's a recent gem: I am still unsure of how to properly give credit to authors of sites and images without "hotlinking". So I have not linked this image. However, I hope it's pretty evident if you've read anything above: this ain't mine, it's Marriedtothesea.com's. Now on with the update.. Another "art scarf" made while I was on vacation.. Yes, it's a little wonky, no judging. That's a geometric interior pocket you're seeing. Finally onto the most recent addition:

I’m not what you think I am I’m the king of Siam

Well well, we meet again. I don't have much of an update tonight because I'm moving tomorrow A.M. and almost everything I want to play with is packed. I'm actually quite anxious about this move, though I'm sure it will go fairly smoothly. Utilities are all turned on (new house), the house I'm leaving is in relatively good shape (though I'm sure the panic will set in when I wake up tomorrow..), and I totally fixed the hole I tore in the paint in my bedroom. Still, despite everyone that's helping me and the excitement to move to the new house, I still kind of feel like I'm doing this on my own. Oh, and I haven't heard back from the future landlord yet regarding when I can pick up the key, which scares me a lot little. Think happy thoughts.. In any case, not much crafting or sewing going on right now, I've resigned to playing DS and trying to imagine how much I can fit in that box over there. Have I mentioned how much this moving has consumed me? I&

DC, finally

Here are some photos I took in DC. My camera's getting worse every time I try to use it, and maybe I am too. National Portrait Gallery, from the floor. Renwick Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Museum. Wild Bill, Presidents' exhibit of the National Portrait Gallery. Close up of a silk installation piece at Renwick. It's kind of dumb that I don't remember who the artist is. Perty houses. Virginia has the best welcome sign. But their interstate only goes up to 65. Tiled wall bordering a park in Stacy's neighborhood. Prettiest dessert I ever did have! (Red Rocks) Awesome concrete-writing fail. It looks like it says "fuck everything", but it actually says "luck everything". Rawr! 4 days is not enough. This was my second trip to DC. Not pictured is the Thao and Mirah show we went to for Stacy's birthday. Divine!
