Another completely random "What We're Up To" post
Finished the baby hat. Lily was kind enough to model it:
I figured out that I made two major mistakes with this hat which I won't bore you with here; thank goodness it doesn't show too badly because I chose a somewhat fuzzy yarn. Live & learn.
And in other knitting news, I joined the online forum at craftster.org and found out once again what a small world it is. Turns out that the woman who started craftster is co-owner of Magpie, an indie craft store in Somerville, MA, that is partly owned by my old friend Em (who is also a rock star).
In non-knitting news, the Bug has finally gotten that fourth tooth through the gums (thank GOODNESS), though I know there are another 28 coming at some point. Sigh. She got pretty ticked at me for offering her lentils for lunch for the second day in a row today. But one cannot live on oatmeal alone, you know.
Which brings me to other food-related news. I'm furiously investigating organic meats out here in the wilds of Indiana. It's hard to find certified organic (well, ok, the little natural market in town carries some, at ridiculous prices), but I've found a couple of suppliers of local and/or free range meats, which are good enough for me and the bug.
I also found the Most Awesome Brownie Recipe Ever on epicurious.com, and proceeded to make these brownies as a valentines day treat, and have eaten four of them in the last 18 hours.
Now off to work on that painting while the bug is still asleep.

craftster rawks and it *is* a small world! Very cool!
It is a dangerous site, though...many a time have I found myself abandoning a current project for some new, cooler one I saw there...

I had no idea your friend partially owns Magpie! I used to live right around there.

That hat is adorable ~ but not as adorable as your little girl! Look at those cheeks and that face ~ she's such a cutie! :)

Rock is Dead! Long Live Paper and Scissors!
I love Craftster. Leah is brilliant. I sometimes post--hopefully I'll see you on there, M!
