Yep, that’s a word. In fact, it is the perfect word to describe this dog.
Let’s look at that face from the other side, shall we?
Boh is actually using his paws to support all those wrinkles on his face. Being jowly is tough. It’s a wonder he’s able to get through the day.
I started another handspun [...]

(Note the pile of knitting projects in this particular corner.)
I never get tired of taking pictures of this dog while he sleeps, which is a good thing: he seems to be napping 90% of the time.
I started working on the first ply of the second skein of my Crown Mountain Farms brown bfl. This is [...]

[Lots of Boh pictures today, folks, and minimal knitting. Oops.]
I managed to knit a few more inches to the next buttonhole yesterday, which means it is time to begin the waist shaping. I do think I’m feeling even healthier today, which means I can no longer justify the knitting to reading and writing ratio I’ve [...]

When the boy said this to me yesterday, I rummaged through the cabinets for a box of spaghetti. It wasn’t until he asked me how many eggs we should use that I fully understood what he was suggesting…
We (I should really say he) loosely followed Alice Waters’ pasta recipe in The Art of Simple Food. [...]

Excuse the rooster-still-in-her-pjs-photographing-herself-in-a-dirty-mirror nature of these pictures. (Yup, still abusing the hyphen.)
I know these pictures leave something to be desired, as they don’t really give you a good sense of the actual knitting, but I love this sweater. For laceweight yarn, it is moving quite quickly. I’m past the lovely center back gather and plan [...]

I know it’s dark, but I really like this photo — the randomness of the backdrop, the light streaming through the front door, the bright red bookshelf that is mostly empty now — it works for me. I realize, though, that you might actually want to see the sock, so here’s another shot:
I love this [...]

“Are you okay? You didn’t post this morning.”
These were close to the first words I heard from a friend from both blogland and the real world this evening as we gobbled up salmon fish and chips, drank beer, listened to music and discussed issues of critical importance, like font choice. (I have Helvetica here, courtesy [...]

Yup, life is hard. 5 whole days of playing non-stop with your friends can make you dog tired. (Stop me now.) Boh and I re-settled ourselves into my little house, went for a lovely run, and planned an evening of hunkering.
Netflix, the dog, and a hat project. I actually cast on for the Beaufort Hat [...]

Short, early post today, folks. This guy, also known as the animal (must insert photo pronto)
woke me up in the middle of the night with a horrible rrrripp-ing sound. That’s right, he was yanking the polyfill out of my sleeping bag, while I slept in it. He has been in close proximity to this particular [...]
