Knit like the wind

So, I *was* going to blog yesterday (and the day before), but stuff got in the way. Not work (though that is leaving me in a semi-vegetative state), not school (though I did manage to write the correct paper with a whopping 5 minutes to spare), but just…Stuff.
So what the heck have I been up [...]

Oh, my

So today was it, the day the new library operating system went live. Sadly, by “went live” I mean that it is mostly dead, in a Miracle Max sort of way. At our end-of-day meeting today (we had a morning one, too. Ouch.) the Director asked what we wanted to have at our [...]

What we have here is a failure to communicate…

Or at least understand what the bugger they’re talking about.
Beg chart: After reading this pattern, I realized that the best code breakers in the world make some pretty neat knitted items; that is if they know math. What I like about knitting, specifically fair isle, is the challenge of detail that [...]

Where I distract you with pretty pictures.

So, I was fixing the webrings on the side over there —> and kept seeing that awful picture of my mudroom. A new post was definitly in order, but what to post about? The bunny habitat is progressing nicely (read: 90% of crap is gone) and I did some fair isle over the weekend (read: [...]

Habitat

What’s our plan for today? Turning this into a bunny home:

Something about a work in progress??

As I got to the 13 1/2″ mark, and ready to switch from ten freakin’ miles of ribbing to fair isle, it occured to me…maybe I should blog this?
Um, yeah. Sorry.
How about a picture?

( Olive would. Not. Move. Tommorow’s post will explore just how naughty a kitty can be and sill live.)
I am so [...]

Consequences

Well, yesterday’s super-fast dash-off of a post taught me a few things. First, I don’t make a whole lot of sense when I’m in a hurry. (I wonder, now, what that homework I was doing looks like. *shudder*). Second, innocent play with Blogger templates is a Bad Idea. Losing the html for my rings is [...]

I’m Late! I’m Late!

As each day in September passes, I feel more and more like I am falling into a rabbit hole (and not the cute furry kind). The library system migration that’s happening here, and at 22 other libraries in the area is a great big CF. (All definitions, by the way.) Apart from [...]

So much

that I can’t even begin to tell you: A migration of a library system from the stone age to modern times, Fall classes starting, completely whacked out hormomes from hell, another FO from the list, another cast on project, pictures from the Vermont Sheep & Wool festival.
All of that is big, don’t get [...]
