Double-Pointed Dreary
so anyway, I've been knitting this Carbeth sleeve for 872 years. I've just never learned to love double-pointeds. What are your favourite tutorials for doing this on two circulars, or that magic loop thingy, or just plain magic?

from before thanksgiving
We had a lovely Thanksgiving, but it seems like ages ago. I am in the middle of it sewing-wise, one show down and two more to go and then some time off to get ready for the holidays! There have been plenty of mini-emergencies to deal with, but I'm still able to laugh, so all is well. Unrelated...

Tonight is Tu B'Shevat, and the almond trees are on the verge of blooming here in Northern Israel, so to celebrate I just prepared this chocolate almond cranberry bark to surprise the family. Plus I've used 60% cocoa dark chocolate, and raw almonds, so it's really verging on what one might ca...

Oh, do I relate! I'm now afraid to even look at Google Reader. Good idea to start over, and start small. I'd really like to start blogging again as well.
Thanks for the Design Editor link! :)

broken down
Do you see what I'm up against? What I'm tripping over as I step from kitchen to mudroom to the outdoors? Do you see what cries to me while I'm making dinner, tiny little grey paws padding at the door, begging to come inside and toddle around my linoleum floor? Piles of fluff and wisps of hair...

Make A Migrating Birds Mobile!
This shabbat we had the great joy of witnessing flocks of migrating cranes flying over our house in Northern Israel. It is a sight that is so exciting and exhilarating, because the cranes fly fairly low and meander on their way, giving one time to observe them. We all ran to the window and the...
