• NO you may not buy even more yarn just because you’re knitting larger things, & this yarn is the same dyelot as some yarn you already have!! #

• We’re catsitting an ol’ geezer named Henry. He just sleeps a lot, and grudgingly accepts his 2 pills a day. Nothing is any big deal to him. #

• Got my 2nd and final (for now) crown. Stash of Tylenol 3s coming in handy. Reward for being good was… more yarn! For my Feb. Lady Sweater. #

• Way to spoil the party California. Prop 8 must be overturned, it’s a disgrace. http://tinyurl.com/6j4hc9 (url via @curryfavor) #

• Trying to get local results, inputting my zipcode w/out thinking, I put 60625. Ha ha. Yeah I’m pretty homesick at the moment, but happy. :-) #

• Crap, the trick-or-treaters are out already! IT’S NOT EVEN 3:30 PM #

There are a few flaws in my knitting that I’m well aware of, which I’m not going to discuss here. (Any more.)
