Hey guys! I’m not dead! I just had a paper to write. And now it’s done, and I’ve started a new bit of research, and so I am (semi-) free to blog again. Which is good, because I’ve got a bunch of new yarn stashed, a new camera and a bit of knitting technology that will be extremely useful, given the influx of stash. I’ve also got some knitting done that is in desperate need of blogging. So I’ll be back tomorrow! Apparently I am watching the Superbowl so you will probably see the first post during a lull in Superbowl commercials. See you soon!

Obama!

This is the top!

We’ve got another Yarnival coming up. Whether you’re new or old to the bloggosphere and want to get a little exposure or share your favourite blog post with the world, sent a link (to a specific post) to this month’s editor, Kelle!

Has anyone else gotten this email? Does anyone else feel like this is pretty much a Viagra commercial? Am I going to have to buy herbal supplements now, or is it enough to use a knitting pump?

(OK, so I just watched the video, and holy F! That is Michael Schumacher knitting. Or, to be current, Lewis Hamilton knitting. Or, to be biased, Nick Heidfeld knitting.)

I got three friend notifications from Flickr a while ago, and two of them were from people who live in Qatar. I wonder if they are friends, or if there is some sort of Qatar knitting club that has come across my pictures? Anyhoo, I thought it was cool. Here is one of the photos that I really liked. I used to make these bracelets all the time! I should start again, I have a feeling that with all these hair poufs and skinny jeans and legwarmers and Cindy Lauper haircuts becoming popular again, friendship bracelets are going to come back in style. I think I read something in the Globe and Mail to that effect a few months ago. They are selling our youth back to us now, folks!

Hippocampus mitts. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist the joke. Will we be seeing medial temporal mitts soon? I hope so. Via Neulova Narttu.
