Three posts, but two good things -A new Lime'nViolet podcast and new Gilmore Girls.And we've settled into Veronica Mars too.So, good on that.
Resolved.
I paid my library fines. I was heckled by the librarian. I don't like my local town library. I propmptly requested several items through interlibrary loan, including Oddball Knitting and Knit 2 Together.
Science Nerd
In a break from the knitting stuff (which of late is small. I'm trying to get a guage swatch for the hourglass sweater using some yarn from hopyard; making Dan a pair of socks - I made him try on the monkey socks and told him I wanted to make him a pair - he's… Continue reading Science Nerd
FO – Monkey Socks
Monkey Socks Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. These are currently my favorite socks ever! They knit up really quick - I did the legs of each first and I really think that helped! The pattern (found on knitty.com) is great - I used Fleece Artist Basic Merino yarn in the "Rainforest" colorway - love it!! I… Continue reading FO – Monkey Socks
Work Rant
I'm a teacher. I teach middle school students science. For the most part I enjoy my work. Today, I don't. Rude rude rude behavior. Entitlement issues. Whining. Bad parents. Threats. And all I can do? Repeat my directions again. Clearly. Calmly. Never let them see you cry. Today just sucked. And I'm at the end… Continue reading Work Rant
Me and My favorite scarf
Me and My favorite scarf Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. This photo was taken in the car with my cameraphone. I took it so I would have proof of actually wearing hand-knitted items!

Bleh. Frustrating FO

I used Malabrigo and knit the larger size thinking everthing would be grand - and perfect for the upcoming winter that seems to have finally come to CT. Actually, it seems to have come everywhere BUT my town. Cities that don't get snow… Continue reading Bleh. Frustrating FO
Dachshund walk
Dachshund walk Originally uploaded by nutmegknitter. Winter finally started to show up and now everyone in southern New England is going to complain that it's too cold! I tried to get Jackson outside for a walk - at least it was sunny today! But he was not having it - not even with his jacket… Continue reading Dachshund walk
Sheep Shirt
My geeky side (which is both sides mind you) loves this:Sure, it seems like calculating sheep in order to reach the funtion of sleep, but as a knitter, it must have something to do with knitting and yarn, yes? I have ordered a couple of shirts from threadless in the past - love them.
