1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.

I finished another premmie hat and guess what? It is even smaller than the previous hats. My small stack of hats is starting to look like Russian stacking dolls. It is humbling to realize how irregular my gauge is. I’m working on a fourth hat but don’t think I can finish it [...]

Raffles City Knitout

Okay, a quick, weird story. A few weeks ago I decided to join the TCKnits Yahoo group so I could find people to knit with when I am home for the summer. The group’s moderator contacted me directly when she saw that I was currently in Singapore, because one of their active members, [...]

A few ideas…

Things I want to try with this blog include…

Figuring out how to put one of those cool flickr moving collages in the sidebar OR putting one in the header.

Hello world!

Yeah, yeah. I know I’m supposed to change that initial title, but it’s just too appropriate to delete. I have other blogs, but this one is meeting an impressive number of goals. With it I hope to…

Document my time in Singapore. I wish I had started this seven months ago [...]
