OhMyGod. Amy took the BEST picture of me hugging B1 from the Bananas in Pyjamas! Seriously, I look like I’m in love with that banana. She also got a nice one of me and Miss Fee knitting and a close-up of us three girls.

A Prime BirthdayA couple weeks ago I asked the Snook where he wanted to go eat for his birthday. “Let’s eat meat,” he said. “It’s time to drink the Grange.” I gasped. “Are you sure? Is it a special enough occasion?” “Whenever you open the bottle,” he said, “that’s the occasion.” And so it was.…

Stitch ‘n’ Pitch: Now that is a brilliant idea! Of course, if they ever officially introduce it at the cricket I’m going to take credit. (Link courtesy of Jeff.)

Sorry Sis, but I just found a great site discussing the ending of Half-Blood Prince and I have to share it. It’s in the comments though, so you won’t be tempted to look at it. (Don’t even mouse over the link. The URL is a massive spoiler.) And if anyone wants to discuss it, let’s…

Awww, isn’t that the cutest picture EVER? Baby Ruth is wearing the sleeping bag I knit her. Unfortunately the Baby Norgi sweater – as feared – is too small to fit over her head. (I’ve given Nat instructions on how to have a knitter add a slit neck and a placket.) But didn’t the sleeper…

Spotted! Evidently I was visible on the live video feed from the Knit In this morning, as Mary-Helen reports that she saw me! I did not, however, get interviewed or anything. (For once, I was restrained with the famewhoring.) They must have spoken to someone that sounds like me though, because I got at least…

Okay, you’re not allowed to click on this link if you haven’t finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince yet, but if you have… The Alternative Potter. It’s a contest that the Guardian ran where people rewrote the climax of the book in the styles of various other authors. My favorite is the Irvine Welsh…
