Eloquent Pedestrian: February 2012
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Second Blog of Knitmas. On Christmas Eve I got two wonderful knitting-related presents. First the book Little Red in the City. And second a gift certificate to a new local yarn shop. I found the yarnery very appealing. It was cute and quiet, and had a good variety of yarn without being crowded. People were helpful but not aggressive, and seemed very knowledgeable. The yarn was decently priced, though my budget is still much closer to Joann's range. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Eloquent Pedestrian: July 2012
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Lately I've posted quite a few pictures on facebook of my garden. I know not many people are interested in seeing picture after picture of the same plant in gradual stages of growth, but since this is most of what I'm doing these days, it seems appropriate. Every few times I post pictures, I get a similar type of comment:. Why is it full of weeds? 1 Is it in the foreground of the shot? 2 Is it planted in a nice straight grid or row? 3 Does it look prickly? Several years ago we let...

Eloquent Pedestrian: August 2012
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 6, 2012. Go for the bronze! Beautiful weather for the first time in two months, and what am I doing? Sitting inside and watching the Olympics. Don't worry- I'll go outside soon. But it's just so easy to get sucked in to competition after competition. So unlike a lot of American professional sports, the Olympics isn't about a bunch of testosterone junkies hitting balls and each other to see who can make the most money in their career. It's a different kind of athleticism that inspires a...

Eloquent Pedestrian: Realism
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2013/01/realism.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2013. I have a problem. You see, when I accomplish something I seem to think I'm a master of it. I'll give you an example. Last year, in about March, Goodreads, my new website, had a little widget to set a goal for books read in a year. Some of my friends had set their goals, and they were all higher than I would have set mine. But I put in a number, and found I was already ahead of schedule. My goal in 2012 was 75 books, and I barely accomplished it. So what did I do?

Eloquent Pedestrian: December 2011
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. I used to read. Before all of this craziness with the mittens started, before I became a glove making fiend, before the holidays came and put a whirlwind through my house. Summer Knight: 5 Days. Neverwhere: 18 days (sort of). Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Titan's Curse 12 Days. The Clockwork Prince: 8 Days. So now, if you'll excuse me, I have some reading to do. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Ode to Caron Simply Soft. My brain is broken. And I have finished three pairs of m...

Tuesday, February 5, 2013. I thought I didn't have anything to blog about today. Then I got a call from my credit card company. Someone bought something from a travel agent in Spain with my credit card number. The company caught it, but I don't really trust myself to say anything anyone would want to read tonight.

Eloquent Pedestrian: The New Year
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-new-year.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. I don't usually support the idea of New Years Resolutions. In fact, I've never done them before. My only experience has been to watch others make and break resolutions over the course of a few weeks to months. So I was surprised as anyone when I came up with resolutions for the New Year. They're really goals, but I'm not one to make excuses, these are things I'm resolving to do in the New Year, so there's no point in bullshitting them to be anything but New Year's resolutions.

Eloquent Pedestrian: June 2012
http://eloquentpedestrian.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. I initially "finished" the socks a little short because I was worried about having enough yarn. I had plenty of yarn, and I decided to use more up by adding two inches to each sock. I ended up knitting four extra inches, and I still only stopped because I couldn't stand the things any more. That's me, doing my best impression of a foot form. Turns out it doesn't require any strange construction, and I think it took me about one week to knit, and that was at a slow pace:. I intro...

Saturday, January 28, 2012. Put the Needles DOWN. I haven't posted here in a long time because I have been far too busy knitting. Which you'd think would be a good thing for a knitting blog, but blogs don't work if you don't write in them. I thought about doing a big post about Christmas time, but instead I'm going to give it to you in pieces. The first gift of yarn-mas was from my friend Kat, who bought me the stitchmarkers from Nerd Girl Yarns. Then I re-christened my gloves the Outer Spiral Arm glove ...
