Entertainment Value = High

This is a very entertaining knit-related blog I came across while perusing another very entertaining but non-knit-related blog called Cake Wrecks.

Why Would You Knit That?

I particularly like the "penguin," the power cords.. and the *ahem* tissue cover is pretty doggone disturbing.

Happy V Day

Nothing says "I love you" like a bunch of cupcakes stuffed with pink berry goop.

Google-icious

Sorry, I just had to point out how awesome/hilarious it is that today Google is using an image of kangaroos knitting to portray their holiday festiveness. That's creative right there.

Eye Candy Friday

Jolly Holly

This picture, taken right outside my front door a half hour ago, totally puts me in the holiday spirit!


I know the novelty of spending a whole winter filled with real live genuine snow may wear off before too long.. But for right now it makes me want to drink hot tea and knit Christmas presents. So that's what I'm doing!

Trying Out Beta

Of course, not much I can do if I don't like it, right?

As repeat readers will certainly notice, I have changed my template as well as made the move to Blogger Beta. That bandwagon rode up, and I just jumped right on it. By the way, you should probably know this about me - I'm a sucker for "New and Improved" and anything along those lines. It's especially bad at the grocery store, but it applies in other areas too.

I think I've gotten all my links back up and working, all my webrings showing, etc. It was a bit of a pain, but so far I think it's an improvement. I was getting a little sick of that dotty background. The plain blue is... sleeker. More focus on content. That's ideal.

Coveting...

I want one of these very badly. Or, maybe one of these, to better fit in the project bag I'm dreaming up. (If I weren't already concocting my ultimate project bag, I would love one of the Offhand Designs full size bags as well. Probably this one.)

Anybody doing any early Christmas shopping? Brendon, are you reading this?
