Post Secret #78 -- Diagonal Lines

nobody@vox.com(anthrogrrl) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:54:50 -0800

I went through all my old archaeology photos for this challenge. I found that I use diagonal lines quite a bit. Here are several of my favorites. There has been no editing, with the exception of a little contrast/color intensification and some...

Baby goodies!

nobody@vox.com(anthrogrrl) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:35:04 -0800

I think that, within the circles that know me as a knitter, I am pretty famous for my baby gifts. Not that they are the best, most technically-advanced knitted items ever, or the most stylish, or even the best-fitting. But every friend who has ...

This is what my back yard looked like just a few days ago: And this is what it looked like this morning: We finally got that snow to stick last night, even if we did get only about an inch. The wind has been blowing hard all day, trying to make...

Thanks, Wal-Mart!

I am not much for Halloween decorations besides carved pumpkins (and I mostly carve them just so I can have pumpkin seeds!), but for some reason this year I got inspired by a trip to our local Wal-Mart. They had painted old milk jugs and the lik...

Party in the back

nobody@vox.com(anthrogrrl) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:14:55 -0700

This is the hat I mentioned that I made for T. It needs to fit under his hardhat, and it can't come down too low on his forehead, but because he shaves his head, he needs his ears and the back of his neck covered. So, I invented this hat: It's ...

More knitting

nobody@vox.com(anthrogrrl) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:36:03 -0700

I am still going on my knitting binge. I spent Monday knitting another little critter that isn't felted yet, and also knit a scarf from some really nice, slightly nubbly variegated wool yarn. Then yesterday I knitted a different kind of critter...

Silk neck warmer

I am still on a knitting jag, and this weekend I tried something completely different. A good friend saw my last post and asked for a scarf, but she lives in Texas. I know that it can get chilly there in the winter, too, but I didn't think she ...

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear

Last Christmas, I got a great new knitting book called 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders, edited by Judith Durant. I have perused the book many times, but have been in a bit of a knitting lull, so I haven't used many of the patterns yet. I knit my...

Photo Quest -- Show us your fall

nobody@vox.com(anthrogrrl) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:48:40 -0700

I posted a series of pictures to my blog just a few weeks ago from a daytrip T and I took to see the leaves change color. I love the colors of the changing leaves, and in the mountains near here there are conifers, maples, and aspens, which give...
