i know i’ve said this before, but this time I REALLY MEAN IT.
it’s about time! i’m pleased to introduce you to……
i’m tantalized, are you tantalized? we’re so tantalized! what a weird word.
dunh dunh dunh! the return of knitting content!
wanna see what I got in Laos and Cambodia? Do ya? Huh? No? Then can I interest you in a WIP?
lots to get done, getting lots done. pumpkin pie and cranberry bars, tandoori chicken and packing for laos, and lotsa deciding. i’m the decider.
but i don’t WANT to clean the bathroom! just another row, just to finish this cable, just this section. aw, mom. you’re no fun at all.
i always hate it when people say this to me, but maybe they’re right: worse things DO happen at sea.
good in the mouth, good on the needles, good on the eyes, good to wear, not so good on the elbow. ouch.
she really pisses me off. sure, she’s “interesting” and “fascinating” and beautiful, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD she’s a pain in my ass.
i have been my own worst enemy on this project, and we nearly came to blows. read what a little perseverence’ll do for ya.
it really sucks to frog, but there’s a delicious feeling of self-righteousness when you do. 
really? REALLY ME??? i’m THIS goofy and weird because there’s a low pressure system hanging over the east coast? REALLY?????

help me rhonda, help help me rhonda….i don’t know what to do with my sweater.

love has no pride. but i do.
