My Indoor Wildlife
This morning I woke up to the most wonderful surprise. Overnight, two tiny mushrooms sprouted up and out of our garbage disposal.
So there! I'm not a lousy house keeper, I'm a rebel challenging an environmentally destructive social construct by encouraging nature to take over our building a tad early. If I could've gotten my camera far enough into the toilet to get a decent picture I could show you the mini-kelp forest I'm growing. Now that's some kind of statement!
I know some of you must be wondering where the crafty's gone on my supposedly craft themed blog. To appease you people, and also because I want a place on the Knitting Kitty Webring, let me update you on my yarn qeue status.
Little to no progress has been made on my master knitting swatches since before California-Adventure-with-Venemous-Creatures 2006. I am, however, much closer to completing these babies:
Meet the most boring socks in the entire universe. Also, notice my nasty toe nails. Dad's got a birthday coming up, father-daughter pedicures anyone? Just kidding, Dad. I know what you're getting and this year it doesn't smell at all like feet! Hopefully, I'll have these socks done in the next couple days and then I can dig into this scarf. It's the boyfriend's holiday/birthday present. I'm starting early this year so maybe he'll have a chance to out-geek his coworkers before next spring.
The pattern is from a Norwegian(?) web-based knit rag called Ulla. It's the place where I found these way-rad gloves but since I have no idea what a simapakohihat is, I might have to come up with my own pattern.
