Here in the castle renovations continue, but at a much slower pace. We’ve been struck almost dead by the bird flu. And what good Americans are we? We’re bunkered down in the castle and avoiding people like we have the actual plague. We’re stopping the bird flu dead in its tracks [...]

Still with the extra long wrap. I added about 9 inches last night. Even though everything went ape on LOST last night, it still wasn’t enough to compel me to put down the needles. So it’s about 22 inches long now. Just another 58 to go!! The allergy medicines, making [...]

1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?
I am a very big fan of natural fibers. I’ve recently done projects in silk, alpaca, and merino wool. I’m currently working with 100% cotton. I’m not a big fan of acrylic, not so much because I’m [...]

The news, and then immediately following that the emergency broadcast system, just broke into programming to alert us to the fact that the Conaco Phillips oil refinery is on fire. Great.
