Note to Self
A- Confessions of a Knitting Heretic by Annie Modesitt. This book has been recommended to me many a time. I still haven’t finished reading (whatever knitting book that I’m currently reading and can’t remember the name of), I think this would be a great followup.
B- Nancie Wiseman’s Book of Finishing Techniques by Nancie Wiseman. I recently got this out of the library and have been paying over-due fines ever since. I can’t let it go. It’s a fab book.
C- Emergency Preparedness Starter Kit (via MightyGoods). The number and severity of natural disasters in the past few years has made me a bit more aware of how un-mobile we are at this point in our lives. Time to change that a bit.
D- The “New Yoga” Bag (or mug – when it comes out). The cartoon is by Knit Blogger Franklin who crack my shit up.
E- Cloth napkins, same as those made by MOM circa 1999 with fabric from Repot Depot.
Christmas is a HUGE deal in my family. My parents love the holiday and spoil us all endlessly. We (my siblings and husband) have tried to tell them that the degree to which they shower us with good cheer is totally unneccessary and that we’d be just as happy without. This is where my Mom got violent on us the first time. Under no circumstances were you going to tell THIS WOMAN that she CAN’T shower her children with gifts and good cheer. And DAMN us for even suggesting it.
So. The Christmas list is asked for early. And we oblige. It’s soooo fun!!!
