BklnQ

beginning to snow, and sticking even to the streets

Today, I pulled out my expired passport to take it in for a new one and, behold, it has the wrong birth date. All this time I could have been shaving ten years off my age and if someone hadn’t believed me, I would have had an official government document to prove it. Too late now.

This morning, up real early and still trying to clear my ears, I’ve added gravatars and tags to my comments, cleaned up some formatting and other such nonsense. I’m also trying to integrate the booklist as a database table with an eye to eventually making it a full-fledged plug-in.

Reaching Back

Some knitting did get done last year, but not all of it got photographed. This is a shawl I gave J’s mother last χmas (2007).

This triangular shawl was knit in elann.com’s worsted weight Peruvian Highland Silk in Antique Blue, using the Crystal Pattern from Barbara Walker’s A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, p.266, and a generic triangular construction.

I also finished three socks.

The grey are from two skeins of Regia I bought not realizing I needed to two of each color. I had one cuff done before I realized that. Those are worn by J. The gold is half a pair I have yet to complete for my older niece in Koigu KPPPM. Not particularly practical, but soft and regular in its patterning. I will start and finish the other when I get over this cold.
