A knitter, among other things, who needs to put the damn phone down.

Talk to me about books, movies, The Cure, cats and dogs, gardening, sourdough, the Chicago bears, and - even more sadly - the White Sox.

So, I am actually headed to a production of XMas Carol tonight so I’m going to see a lot of this outfit.

(I know it’s early but it’s community theater and the everyone is too busy in December to do it. So they are doing it now)

Knit fit of the day. My dad turns the big 8-0 today so we are meeting for burgers and football. Wearing my Melted Shrug for coziness since it snowed a bit overnight.

Almost 25 years ago I struck up a conversation with a funny, friendly guy at a Christmas Party. This morning he brought me coffee in bed so I can knit a bit before getting up. Good job younger self.

Started a new big project. Love this pattern. Trying to finish by the New Year. Mosaic knitting is so satisfying.

We need normal looking people on our screens again. All different faces and hairstyles. The homogeneity is boring and damaging.

#showmeyourknits this week is #socktober and I always have a pair of socks going. Here I’m trying a play on old athletic socks. Doing a 3x3 rib for the leg, will do a flap Eye of Partridge heel then just stockinette on the foot.
Cute right?
Be sure to notice my zombie pinup girl project bag.

I don’t mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
But when you’re standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind

I guess you’re just what I needed
I needed someone to feed
I guess you’re just what I needed
I needed someone to bleed

My husband wants to have people over to watch the bears game which means they played well enough last week to get him back on the hope train. I hate this for him. But there will be wings!

My progress on the never ending I-cord bind off. I’m about halfway through now and though I’m being a complainer about it - look how great it looks!!

Starting the longest I-cord bind off I’ll probably ever do. I’m gonna get so sick if it but it’s gonna look great.
#knitsky #knit #WIP
The beginning of an I-cord bind if if a knit shawl. The bind off is bright orange and the body of the shawl shown features 2color brioche in a lighter, peachy orange and a green/brown mottled yarn.

Bought tickets to the Michael Shannon/Jason Narducy play all of REM’s Life’s Rich Pageant show at the Metro for next March and that is going to keep me going for the next 6 months. It’s an 18 and over show and my REM loving daughter who will turn 18 soon is soooooo excited.
