McCain won Missouri, and John Hodgman said, “I don’t believe it.  You know my motto-show me.”

Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia won the American League MVP award.  Oh yeah, a couple months ago we were watching baseball!

YES. WE. DID.

Why is CNN showing Jessica Yellin live in the studio “Via Hologram” from Chicago?  Why bother sending her to Chicago if we can’t see Chicago behind her?  They’re just entranced by the technology.

Let’s Do It!

If you haven’t already, get out there and vote!!

If you still need a little inspiration, try Vintage Pretties or Parlancer, for a start.

Let’s do it!!

Goodnight, Opus.  I’m sad, as I’d held out hope that maybe Opus was returning to Bloom County, but it looks like he really is done. *sniffle*

Goodnight McCain in Pennsylvania!!  I’m hoping my wishes on that front are a little safer.  Note that electoral-vote.com does show McCain making a little bit of headway in PA (gasp!… It’s still leaning Obama, though).  Come on PA, don’t blow it!!

The Knitting Turnip

On My Needles

Rhapsody in Tweed cabled pullover for Ezra! using Tahki Donegal Tweed in Forest, from Fall 2004 Interweave Knits. I've just picked this one up again, so it's moving up in the queue!

Sweater with Cable Patterns pullover using Araucania Nature Wool Chunky in Mauve, from Rebecca Magazine Number 28

Heather Pullover using Classic Elite Wings in Larkspur, from Rowan’s A Season’s Tale... This needs the knit doctor. I'm going to have to frog back a little bit and redo the shoulder area. Long story.

Hush Pullover using Jo Sharp DK wool in Wine, from Rowan’s Calmer Collection

More scoop on my knitting endeavors can be found at my home on Ravelry (clicky here).
