Hot and Bothered

Walter is disgusted by the heat and humidity.

Triple Digits

100° is nothing in Arizona, but triple digits are miserable here,  partly because of the humidity, partly because so few homes have air conditioning. I spend most of the day ensconced in the TV room with the window unit.

Porcupine Topper

I like to knit baby hats because they are cute, fast, and fun. Luckily, I know people who are going to be having babies soon. I'll give other finished objects to charity. My most recent project is the Porcupine Hat designed by Woolly Wormhead. I used Jeannee DK by Plymouth Yarn, a cotton/acrylic mix. The yarn is very soft but I found it to be very splitty as well. Probably not the best choice for a project with these little worms which required repeated cable cast on and bind off.

Etsy "Go Green" Treasury

Thanks to Cadence Cases for including my "Fun Vintage Green Power Pendant Earrings" in her Go Green - ROYGBIV Series treasury on Etsy!

Hats On!

I've been knitting lots of hats lately. I have a short attention span with projects, and hats are so satisfying. I'm able to try knew techniques, yet the projects are short enough that I don't lose interest. It seems I may need to expand my color selections!

Quotation of the Day

‎"Until a vegan or vegetarian enters the room, people don't see themselves as meat-eaters. They are merely 'eaters', and it is we vegans who have made them aware of what they are doing. Often this is discomforting."
