I love this thing

I just finished my first wrist warmer. So cozy:



This picture was taken using the new camera. The picture quality is about the same, I think, but the camera is much more user friendly.

I just can't believe what a productive knitter you are! I can barely make it through a chapter in my book before I'm falling asleep, let alone knit my own clothing. :D

They really are...I'm racing to finish the other one before this weekend's train ride. For some reason, it is always 0 degrees on trains!

I feel bad....I didn't end up liking the Lumix TZ1 for myself. It's so user friendly....and my best friend LOVES hers...but I wasn't happy with it. So I exchanged it for the new Fuji F45. I hope you like yours.... I feel like I practically told you to buy it! :-)

Leah - no harm done; I like mine. I figured out that it takes especially nice pictures in portrait mode.

Do you make those like you make socks - with the 3 needles? I can't get up enough guts to give socks a try. I have kept with dishcloths, baby blankets, and scarves, but I'm getting bored.

Notta - exactly. I would try the handwarmers first; they're easier. But if you're raring to try the socks, there's a really good tutorial at www.cometosilver.com/socks/SockClass_Start.htm. that's how i learned!

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

Eat, knit and be happy

So I went to knitting class today. It was a lot of fun. The knitting cafe was buried deep in the Village, further south than I tend to go, but I found it after a little bit of exploring. The cafe itself was just adorable. Their motto is the title of this post. There was a counter where they sold brownies, tea and other goodies (my attention was caught and held by the nice, thick, chocolatey brownies). Two other women showed up for the class. One of them just got a part in a student-written play (she was maybe in her 40s) and had to knit in a scene while arguing with her husband. She wanted to be able to knit convincingly. The instructor commended her for this, noting that often in the movies when people are supposed to be knitting, they're not doing it right and it takes her out of the story ;) Knitting is surprisingly easy if someone teaches you live. As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
