Despite every effort to make the projects look terrible by photographing them on a rainy day in a cottage in 1975 (bonus points: several feature a cat and/or reading glasses and/or cups of tea), this book has so far served me well. It provided patterns for my sister's Christmas gift a few years ago (seen at the top) and C and S's wedding blanket two summers ago. And most importantly, as promised, they really are quick knits. All are knit on size 15 or 17 needles, so each stitch literally goes a long way.</div><br /><br /><div align="left">I think I've chosen the pattern called, "Exquisite." I won't show it to you in the off-chance that J or J even knows I once updated a blog periodically... Anyway, it looks like I can easily dismantle the pattern into four packable strips. I know, I know, you're thinking, "why would you introduce seams and therefore SEAMING when you don't absolutely have to? You are crazy." But I can justify 3 seams if it makes me more able to knit on the plane to Europe. (did I mention I'm going to Europe?) The only other modification I'm anticipating is lenghthening it since J and J are stupid tall.<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="left"><em>*underneath that delicately draped blanket is my sister's friend hiding in a bush to make the blanket drape delicately.

Again. Maybe. Whatever.Every time I stop writing/documenting/musing, I think, "shame on you, self, you've not followed through on another project." This is a recurrent theme not only in my half-assed blogging, but also knitting, cleaning, and most other hobbies. I'm committed and excited, but only in spurts.<br /><br />So here I am once again (I think this is about my 4th time recommitting) promising to, well, try again. I have lots of big changes on the horizon, and maybe it wouldn't hurt to move the tumult from the recesses of my brain and leave the weird random brain-thoughts here in the safe comfort of google.<br /><br />Big changes/projects(!):<br />1. Moving to our new apartment<br />2. Furnishing said apartment to not look like a frat house<br />3. Finish planning post-wedding vacation<br />4. Finish planning wedding...<br />5. Write dissertation (ha!)<br />6. Get off my behind and knit a wedding present for J and J<br /><br />With some amount of motivation or, more likely some amount of procrastination from doing the things on the above list, it's my hope to share a little bit more about all of the above. (Did that even make sense? It did to me.) So for the next few months (hopefully!) things here will be more like "science, science, <em>moving, decorating, wedding, vacation,</em> knit." Unless this is just a mirage and I don't post again for another 6 months. And I'm perfectly okay with that, too.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903447043848422690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488025946679755880.post-35471546627786837682010-12-16T21:00:00.000-05:002010-12-16T21:00:02.575-05:00Feeling festive<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TQleSC8Ry3I/AAAAAAAAAt4/t7IYGoX23uw/s1600/DSCN1867.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TQleSC8Ry3I/AAAAAAAAAt4/t7IYGoX23uw/s400/DSCN1867.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551071679831198578" border="0" /></a><br />We finally decorated the house for Christmas, and I think it looks pretty darn good.

So I braved the <a href="http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/14/record-freeze-extreme-weather-battering-east-coast/">insane cold</a>, to get my shop on. I don't know if it was the weather (it totally was) but the stores were pretty darn empty. In a mere few hours, I both started and finished my shopping. No denying that my list was short, but it feels good to sit back, relax and huddle under more blankets.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903447043848422690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488025946679755880.post-19863731776698375642010-12-03T22:00:00.002-05:002010-12-03T22:00:02.347-05:00Grown up final examsAlthough I'm often confused for a high schooler I'm actually a bona fide, college-graduated, grown-up. So the stress of final exams and getting ready for Christmas should be a thing of my past, right? Hardly. I have 3 major deadlines coming up and that mentality of "just have to survive until next Friday" is kicking in.<br /><br />So if you'll indulge me in a short rant, and forgive the photo-less post, I'll be sure to make it up to you.<br /><br />- I have a huge experiment going on. It's the kind where in at 7:00 a.m., mouse-wrangling until 10:00 p.m., and working most of those hours in between. And one of my mice was missing an eye and it was gross. Ugh all around.<br /><br />- My manuscript resubmission is due by next Friday. I don't have all my results (ahem, see above) and I have boatloads of edits left. And I kind of need this to get published.<br /><br />- I have to give a big presentation to my department on Wednesday. Who has TIME for this?<br /><br />Ok done. Thanks. So as of <span style="font-style: italic;">next Friday</span>, I'm on cruise control until Christmas. I just have to survive until then.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903447043848422690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488025946679755880.post-414963625974706722010-12-02T22:00:00.001-05:002010-12-02T22:00:17.943-05:00My world is so small...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TPhc_qmMm5I/AAAAAAAAAto/rgZ5pCXpFmc/s1600/GFAJ-1_%2528grown_on_arsenic%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 248px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TPhc_qmMm5I/AAAAAAAAAto/rgZ5pCXpFmc/s400/GFAJ-1_%2528grown_on_arsenic%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546285189942778770" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">(from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFAJ-1">here</a>)</span><br /></div><br />...that I got laughably excited about the newly described bacteria that can utilize arsenic? It's called GFAJ-1 for now, and (sadly) I required <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFAJ-1">Wikipedia</a> to find the original article that went live today in the journal <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2010/12/01/science.1197258">Science</a>. Sadder still, I don't have access to the manuscript from home but from what I can tell - biology just sort of changed here people.<br /><br />Not to be outdone, <a href="http://www.nature.com/news/2010/101202/full/news.2010.645.html">Nature</a> has a nice story posted today on the same subject wherein they refer to GFAJ-1 as an "oddball" (probably jealous that Science got the exclusive). But basically, it looks as though arsenic might be taking the place of phosphorus in all of the important molecules: DNA, RNA, cell membranes and ATP. This is different from every other known living organism in the universe. Who wouldn't be excited about that?Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903447043848422690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488025946679755880.post-6572574099240967082010-11-25T10:00:00.001-05:002010-11-25T10:00:03.221-05:00Giving thanks.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs-IqOA1nI/AAAAAAAAAtg/UoNTYmWrQrk/s1600/DSCN1363.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs-IqOA1nI/AAAAAAAAAtg/UoNTYmWrQrk/s400/DSCN1363.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542592084902467186" border="0" /></a>Thanksgiving is all about memories.

And lately, they've been throwing mucho inspiration my way.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs7gJLbJHI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/ZyWu4bh4_Tw/s1600/MC%2Bdress"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs7gJLbJHI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/ZyWu4bh4_Tw/s400/MC%2Bdress" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542589189815215218" border="0" /></a>I found a great clothing store called <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/">ModCloth</a> (admittedly, I haven't ordered from them, yet) that features about a billion things I want to own. I came to it from <a href="http://bravebride.blogspot.com/">BraveBride</a>, where she thought it would make a great place <a href="http://bravebride.blogspot.com/2010/11/ugly-bridesmaid-dress-phenomenon.html">to find bridesmaid dresses</a>. I concur.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs7fi89H8I/AAAAAAAAAtI/268rEtJ9nCE/s1600/springpad"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 334px; height: 394px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs7fi89H8I/AAAAAAAAAtI/268rEtJ9nCE/s400/springpad" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542589179553980354" border="0" /></a>One of my newest obsessions is <a href="http://springpadit.com/home/">Springpad</a>. It has saved me from my gmail wedding organization chaos. My previous system involved emailing myself a link to something I wanted to remember, and trying to put an adequate label in the subject line. Seriously, that was my "system." Suffice to say Springpad has saved me. I can organize bookmarks in "notebooks" with searchable tags, and photos from the website. For what it's worth, it will also save other useful things, like recipes, calendars, maps, and it will sync with smartphones (not like I have one...) I came to this site from <a href="http://2000dollarwedding.com/">2000dollarwedding</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs7fTKI84I/AAAAAAAAAtA/Ojat7TE-CEQ/s1600/Sarajo_Frieden_Fishlamp.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs7fTKI84I/AAAAAAAAAtA/Ojat7TE-CEQ/s400/Sarajo_Frieden_Fishlamp.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542589175314314114" border="0" /></a>Last for now comes from <a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/">How About Orange</a>; it's a great resource of affordable original art at <a href="http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/index.php">Thumbtack Press</a>. As my move to a real grown-up house is fast approaching, I'll be needing real art to decorate the (presumed) drab, carpenter-white, rented walls. Feel free to buy me this print called "<a href="http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/product_info.php?products_id=980">Fishlamp</a>."<br /><br />So that's what's been consuming my time...

Which got me thinking.... I'm not too old for Christmas presents. My Christmas picks for today are 100% nerd-approved: books, boots, and a cake stand (for good measure).<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1WeIClmI/AAAAAAAAAsw/3dL8h8zZIJ4/s1600/dahl"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1WeIClmI/AAAAAAAAAsw/3dL8h8zZIJ4/s400/dahl" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542582426569709154" border="0" /></a>1. Books. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Roald-Dahl-Book-Box-Slipcase/dp/0140926526/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1290480819&sr=1-1">15-book boxed set</a> of Roald Dahl's brilliant children novels. So colorful and full of genius.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1WeIClmI/AAAAAAAAAsw/3dL8h8zZIJ4/s1600/dahl"><br /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1XeviVbI/AAAAAAAAAs4/ipfubsD9tAM/s1600/duck%2Bboot.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 146px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1XeviVbI/AAAAAAAAAs4/ipfubsD9tAM/s400/duck%2Bboot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542582443915236786" border="0" /></a>2. Duck boots. Bonus points if they're from L.L. Bean. Extra bonus points if they're size 7. I think these <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/19068?feat=506708-GN2">duccasins</a> are awesome in classic leather and navy.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1WHAwPYI/AAAAAAAAAso/PezFD7HFigY/s1600/cake%2Bstand%2BA"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TOs1WHAwPYI/AAAAAAAAAso/PezFD7HFigY/s400/cake%2Bstand%2BA" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542582420365131138" border="0" /></a>3. Cake stand/serving tray. Ok, stay with me- the "geek" of this is that it works as a <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=244576&CategoryID=7923#fn=SERVEWARE_TYPE%3DCake%20Plates%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D39">cake stand</a>, or flipped over as a chip dish, which can also hold the lid to make a punchbowl.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903447043848422690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488025946679755880.post-78111232733773952912010-11-18T22:00:00.000-05:002010-11-18T22:00:03.974-05:00Top 5: Thursday edition<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TONNqpDLgVI/AAAAAAAAAsg/M_2grkOUDQk/s1600/DSCN2338.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TONNqpDLgVI/AAAAAAAAAsg/M_2grkOUDQk/s400/DSCN2338.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540357361564877138" border="0" /></a><br />Top five things that are making me happy today:<br /><br />1.

But I am SO excited that I just can't wait another second. Really.<br /><br />Yulie is a near-perfect beret pattern that I came across whilst browsing <a href="http://www.grumperina.com/knitblog/patterns.htm">Grumperina's</a> freebies. Reasons I love this pattern:<br />1. It requires very little yarn. At less than 1 skein of each color, I could use one of my "special" yarns for the contrasting color (<a href="http://www.eisakunoro.com/html/home/index.html">Noro Kureyon</a>, to be exact. As an aside, I dare you to tell me <a href="http://www.eisakunoro.com/html/collection/kureyon/colorlist.html">these colors</a> don't make you swoon).<br />2. It is a lace pattern, so a little more fun to knit than other patterns, but easy enough to memorize.<br />3. The stripes are knit in a spiral, so to speak. This way there are no jogs in the color and it looks super seamless (well, because it IS seamless).<br />4. The pattern is amenable to adding more or less slouch.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TNoH96_PiRI/AAAAAAAAArQ/CEz0zRJpkp0/s1600/colorlist.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TNoH96_PiRI/AAAAAAAAArQ/CEz0zRJpkp0/s400/colorlist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537747452193376530" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">(from <a href="http://www.eisakunoro.com/">Noro</a>)<br /></span></div><br />I knit this over the weekend. That includes finishing, realizing it was too small (because I can't be bothered to swatch), un-knit the crown, re-knit the plain rounds (see #4 above), and refinishing it. I didn't block, because I was digging the squishy look. And did I mention, I'm in love with it?!?!<br /><br />I promise, as the camera resurfaces, you can see my sweet hat.Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03903447043848422690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488025946679755880.post-47593842404242819502010-11-05T22:00:00.000-04:002010-11-05T22:00:01.288-04:00Still too early for Christmas?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TNSLHHVhUjI/AAAAAAAAArA/z3PlcSdC9EE/s1600/DSCN1298.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iBcyi-s29Ug/TNSLHHVhUjI/AAAAAAAAArA/z3PlcSdC9EE/s400/DSCN1298.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536202796289839666" border="0" /></a><br />What is the epitome of nerdy granola craftiness?
