etc.

There has been sparse knitting content around here lately, hasn’t there? I do have a couple of fibre-friendly stories to tell, but I’ve been cagey about current projects because they have been mostly gift-knitting. From now until December 26th, you can probably expect to see intermitten knit-talk. No big surprise.

Lately, I’ve completed a modified version of Stepannie’s Silk Garden beanie (modified to toque proportions: i.e.: rib for about 2.5″ and stocking stitch for about 6″) in Lamb’s Pride Superwash and a standard pair of socks in Regia’s delicious new silk/merino blend. Both for etc.’s most faithful reader, my dad. No pictures of either yet, perhaps I can wheedle a modeled shot out of him.

And, in Buffy content (I’m seriously resisting the urge to start a “buffy” category, even though the author of this book is quoting this post on the back cover of her volume), this is a good article that talks buffy, politics, morality, cosmic balance, and who you should vote for for president next week, all in one place.
