etc.

Did I mention that I’m on vacation for 5 days starting to-morrow? There’s much to be done in the house, apart from the regular maintenance that has fallen to the bottom of the priority list lately. What with all the seaming that has to be done.

Turns out seaming is as little fun as I expected. I can only manage about 30 minutes at a time, which is OK because getting sidetracked from seaming has seen the completion of one scarf and this quick little 30-minute job: a PDA slip. I doubled the length of my PDA, added a half inch, cast on 15 stitches on 4mm needles, folded the completed length in half inside-out, seamed the sides, et voila! No more threat of imminent damage from the detritus in my bag.

A bit better than Reloaded but not by much. Films like this make me pine for the 5-word-reviews of yore.

no, i haven’t forgotten about the linklog. and to prove it to you, i offer this delightful link from the CSM about the trendiness of all things knitty. as a related sidebar, i came Knit NY via some knitting goddess’ website (can’t remember whose, sorry!) some weeks ago and i’ve already added it to the agenda for the NY trip i’m taking in October. OCTOBER! why do you creep so slovenly towards me? [link to CSM from brainylady].
