Christmas stars, in March.

I spent the majority of this past weekend knitting one of the front panels of the Arisaig cardigan and watching Season 1 of Heroes, which I borrowed from a friend months ago.

My haul from the Michigan Fiber Fest!

So, while at work today, I received an invitation to try out Ravelry, a social network/organizer for people who knit and crochet.

Look what I finally finished!

Yesterday, when I returned home from work, I discovered something I had hoped would happen for the longest time; Apple released a version of Safari for Windows.

You know what’s not fun?

I first learned of spinning my own yarn at the end of 2004, when a few friends of mine purchased drop spindles and roving from a store on ebay.

Completed mystery stole!

Anastasia socks!

I’ve been spending a fair amount of time knitting recently, but I’ve been slacking off with documenting my progress.

Nope, I can't get enough of posting my crafty stuff these days.

Look what I finally plied!

I'm proud of myself; I've finally spun up around 6oz of purple roving I bought last weekend, and it looks halfway decent!

Since it's been forever and a day since I've posted any of my finished objects on this weblog, I have a massive backlog of things I've completed since the beginning of the year.

I took a break yesterday from my computer and ventured to a local craft store to shop for yarn; I received a fair amount of gift cards to this place and I need to start knitting a baby blanket for my nephew, who's coming into the world in May.

I am annoyed.

A quilled snowflake.

Let's be honest: I'm not a huge Mac geek.

Scott and I spent the weekend at his parents' house; I brought my sewing machine over per his mother's request and learned how to sew a few things.

I look good enough to wear -- oh wait, that's the point.

Ok.

Finally, I’m getting around to completing the second sock of a pair of socks I began knitting back in March.

Shimmer progress, 9/19/04 Shimmer has been a chore so far, I’m telling you!

I’m happy; I’m knitting again!

So, apparently the most recent Firefox nightly builds have been implementing something called ‘Livemarks’; that is, a combination of an RSS feed and a bookmark.

Why You Should Dump Internet Explorer: An excellent article written by an MCSE about all that is wrong with IE; bad standards-compliance, security flaws, and many other things that make this browser the last one anyone should use in navigating the web.

After about a week or so of release candidates, the final version of Firefox 0.9 has been released.

I am bad.

I woke up this morning to find that my favorite browser, Mozilla Firebird, had released a new version AND had changed its name to Mozilla Firefox!

Yesterday night, Scott and I attended an XHTML workshop on campus.

While at Borders the other day with Scott, I came across a book called Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman, and after a little deliberation, I purchased it.

These days, when I’m surfing the net and checking out new websites, I read all about RSS and how RSS feeds should be implemented.
