My Pictures

You can also filter this category to only view pictures OF me, or pictures BY me.

Rouge

RougeSmall crowd of pretty people watching some sort of athletics on the tee-vee. Rouge is a bar that’s butt-up against and opens up into Nick’s Crispy Tacos, the best Mexican-food joint in my neighborhood. I don’t mean to be a hater but the place gets overrun every weekend with drunk & obnoxious fratboys and their flip-flop wearin’ girlfriends. This picture isn’t a very good example of that phenomenon but whatever.

Vaping away

My stash of e-juiceMy stash of e-juice… deliciously flavored propylene glycol plus nicotine, for use with those miraculous new personal vaporizers, aka electronic cigarettes. I’ve ordered even more juice for stockpiling in case it really does get banned in the U.S.

Vaping awayI got my new e-cig from Phil at e-smokeytreats.com. He’s a one-man three-person operation — slim selection but only the good stuff. Phenomenal customer service too, and super-speedy delivery.

Please sign this petition to keep e-cigs legal and available!

Powell cable car

I’m going to have to be waiting in this line repeatedly for a very long time, due to the hilltop location of my new apartment. I sure hope it moves fast. The line I mean… I already know the cars are slow as hell! But it sure beats hoofing it over Nob Hill. :-|

Friendship bracelets

So… I used to make these in the 80s. Yeah. I also had blue hair and worked at a head shop. Anyway these are just a few of the rejects, ‘cuz I gave away (or threw away) most of the good ones.

I think the bracelet on the far right is the point where I decided “enough is enough!” and abandoned the whole craft. I think I was trying to use 24 strings or something insane like that, using super skinny floss. Not only does it induce seizures, it also doesn’t work very well — it gets all distorted and icky if you try to move the design too close to the edge. Blecch.

A new hat! Using a pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann (for the third time). This one’s for myself, I think. And I’m not going to felt it this time. :-)

Knitter’s graph paper

HEE! It’s the Drag City logo. I don’t know what I’m doing, or what I’m doing WITH it yet, but I seem to be doing it!

Fingerless mitts

Oh I really like them. So warm and squooshy, and an easy pattern too. (Wil took the photo for me.)

Actual garment

Hey look what I made! My first actual garment that isn’t a scarf, hat or pair of socks. :-)

Actual socks

Pretty pretty. And waaaarm. And squooooooshy!! My very first, and consequently very favorite pair of hand knitted socks.

There are a few flaws in my knitting that I’m well aware of, which I’m not going to discuss here. (Any more.) Experienced sock knitters may notice those flaws right away just looking at this picture… I’d appreciate it if they’d just shut it, for now, and notice the things that aren’t screwy-looking. And praise my mad newbie sockmaking skillz.

  • Another knotThanks Lion Brand for all the frickin’ KNOTS! Joining yarn like 3x per skein is SO good times. #

Zigzag scarf in progress

Zigzag scarf in progressI had a “lifeline” in the middle there, so I could rip it out to that point if I messed up later on. I’ve done two or three more repeats since then, and decided to ditch the lifeline. If I screw up, I screw up.
