Michele from Knitsane tagged me with a meme, but I’m still thinking it over. In the meantime, you get this photo–I think it’s one of the better ones from this traveling project gimmick. 
The AMNH is kinda racist* but still cool. I love the dinos, the gems, the whale room, and the old-school vitrines.

 Does it count as a leisure activity if you do it at a bar?
I don’t know how I missed this, but there was a Freakonomics column a few weeks ago in the NY Times Mag about knitting and whether it counted as a leisure or work activity. It’s not particularly groundbreaking* and in fact, I [...]

It’s Kate Gilbert’s Equestrian Blazer in the Winter 2006 Interweave.

I was going to try and improve on People magazine’s punning title for this post, but the original editor did a pretty good job. I was sitting in a doctor’s office a couple of months ago and found this article, which I ripped out for the blog. It’s an article about Karen Allen, who played [...]

I’ve been to School Products twice. Once with my co-worker (without her, I would have never found it, because it is in such a weird office building*) and once with Adam last week, after a  horrible Shake Shack burger. Danny Meyer, please go check on Shake Shack [...]

I was slothing a bit this weekend and surfing the Internet, looking at random knitting organizational stuff* and I went on Lexie Barnes’s website and I found this post, with a still from Desperate Housewives with my bag! Adam gave it to me for Christmas a couple of years ago and I use it all [...]
