Watch my life unravel...
|
The Janie H. Knits sale was wild. It filled a great big room the size of a gymnasium at the Perth Legion. I found myself stroking yarn and oohing and aahing with hundreds of other women and three men. We ran into Carmen and she nudged GC along, encouraging him to dive into the whole […] GC and I were at the Stewart Park Music Festival in Perth yesterday, watching a flamenco dancer dance, when the second baby lovebird hatched. My favourite thing at the music festival was a little girl in the audience who was wearing a tutu and cowboy boots and sucking her thumb. But the flamenco dancer, Ilse […] Okay, time for the weekend roundup of things to do. The Naked Bike Ride, Saturday, 2:00 pm, Confederation Park. You can strip down and join the naked bike parade as it winds its way through the downtown core. If being entirely naked isn’t your thing, you can wear body paint. Or skimpy clothing. Or you […] Whenever I try to fix my own knitting mistakes, I make them worse instead of better. I can tink stocking stitch, but nothing fancier than that. The first time I messed up the socks I’m knitting for GC, Grace fixed them for me. This time Carmen bailed me out. She came over to my house […]
Look Duncan, new sox! I finished knitting a pair of socks yesterday, and then I broke them in by wearing them to the meeting with the employment counselor, which is about 5km from my place. 7,500 steps. 3,750 steps per sock. Normally I don’t wear my handknit socks when I go out walking, because I’m […] A clone would have come in handy last night. I could have gone to the Hartman Piano meeting at City Hall, and the clone could have gone to my creative writing class, both of which started at 7:00. But there was no clone and I had to choose. I went to the class, since there […] Cathy Crowe is running for Member of Provincial Parliament in the Toronto Centre by-election, where the incumbent, George Smitherman, is stepping down to run for Mayor of Toronto. This was the first piece of political news in a long time to give my heart a hopeful little leap. Here’s what Naomi Klein says about her candidacy: […] I recently had the privilege of purchasing the Astronaut Love Triangle’s very first piece of non-performance art! There’s a picture of me and it on their site. I heard through the grapevine that they might be donating a piece of art to Everybody’s Art Show & Auction, which will be taking place at Irene’s Pub on […]
Sick socks About that sock. I couldn’t get all the stitches back on the needles in order to tink* the sock, and after what could only be described as a herculean effort, I gave up. Fortunately I’ve had some very kind offers of help, so the sock is in the sick sock bag until […] I’m just taking a break from wrapping presents, which is my least favourite of the Christmas chores. Every year I tell myself that next year I’ll wrap them as I buy them. But then I forget again. Speaking of forgetting, I forgot where I put my son’s Christmas presents. I searched and searched and got […] |
