I would love to be all "DRAKKARIS!" and see my enemies destroyed with a fireball, but all I have is pet chickens. Bummer. about 4 hours ago

The thing about mice is, you never have "a mouse." You either have "no mice" or "infinity mice." There is no in-between number of mice. about 7 hours ago
@BrandyGrabow Seriously - how long until they run out of serial killers? I wondered that, too. about 7 hours ago in reply to BrandyGrabow

@BrandyGrabow The idea serial killers are so thick on the ground is utterly ridiculous. Anderson is awesome in it, though! about 11 hours ago in reply to BrandyGrabow

Rainbow Brite Shawl: Complete

By Erika, on June 28th, 2012

I finished this scarf/shawl/whatever/thingie over the weekend. I can’t take it outside for pictures, because there is a guy weed whacking at the overgrown grasses, and if I go outside I will sneeze myself to death. For now, you will have to be content with indoor pictures.

By Erika, on June 21st, 2012

I’m nearing completion on the Rainbow Brite Shawl. And the Stealth Project is on hold until the weather is warm and dry enough for the base part to be washed and blocked. So I have been poring over my Ravelry queue and pondering what to knit next.

I’ll be honest with you… I am . . . → Read More: Looking Forward
