		<title>Call For Charity Knitting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend and fellow knitter Patti has been working at the downtown Seattle Food Bank. The food bank is in dire straits this year, and under new management that&#8217;s working to improve the situation. Patti is collecting warm hats and scarves, any gender and size, in advance of what is forecast to be a pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer&#8217;s End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a batch of cold cloudy weather over the weekend that made everyone realize that it&#8217;s true, our so-short summer is coming to an end. The weather caused me to dig out my Drops 103-1 sweater, in order to postpone that first fire of the season. It turns out that when I washed it [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Swatching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did a bit of swatching over the weekend, when I didn&#8217;t feel capable of knitting anything smarter. This is Patons Soy Wool Stripes (SWS). The color is called &#8220;natural geranium.&#8221; I was going to make fun of that color name until I remembered my August-flowering primrose out on the porch. Yet Another Loosely Spun [...]]]></description>

		<title>Egg Truths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To bring my non-American readers (I know there are many of you) up to speed: the last few weeks has seen a MASSIVE egg recall for salmonella contamination. Last I heard the recall affected half a billion eggs. I have learned a lot about eggs since I started keeping chickens. 1. The United States has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sims Sunday: Endings And Beginnings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t have much gameplay time this week, and I&#8217;m ever so tired, so I&#8217;m going to keep this week&#8217;s update short. Furthermore, I understand this is the last Sunday of summer vacation for a lot of you out there. I salute your return to school! Today is the first day that&#8217;s really felt like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Then Again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it&#8217;s easy to figure out when it&#8217;s time to rip. Like when you look down at the scarf you&#8217;re knitting, the long edges of which should (in theory) lie parallel, and you see this: What. Bad cafe cameraphone picture aside, I think it&#8217;s pretty clear that this scarf has gone completely off the rails. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Service Announcement re: &#8220;My Empire of Dirt&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you were thinking of reading Manny Howard&#8217;s book &#8220;My Empire of Dirt,&#8221; I strongly recommend against this course of action for two reasons: 1. Howard writes like he&#8217;s being paid by the dependent clause, with headache-inducing sentences like: &#8220;The lower reaches of the East River have teemed with traffic since the earliest Dutch settlements [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Is It Time To Rip?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I make a mistake, the first thing I think is, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to rip back! All that time, wasted!&#8221; You can literally look at your knitting and calculate how much time you&#8217;re throwing down the drain by ripping back. In the case of my latest project, I would be throwing away about two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swatch-O-Rama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In soothing colors, as a balm for yesterday&#8217;s terrible clashing. I finally captured the color green in this skein of Noro Cash Iroha. As you can see, I had to sneak up on it after dark. This picture is taken with my desk lamp, against the notebook I keep ever beside my elbow. I enjoy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Scarf Clashes With Orange Towel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Norma mentioned that the OFA starts accepting scarves for their Red Scarf Program on September 1st. Since our weather will soon be taking a turn for the worse, I decided to give my Red Scarf a nice soak and block today, ahead of schedule. (Clashes a bit, doesn&#8217;t it? Ouch.) Technically this scarf, knit [...]]]></description>
