Hooray! Veronica Mars has been renewed for a third season. Now at least we’ll get to find out what the McGuffin in Kendall’s briefcase was…

Just found a nice photo tutorial on wheel throwing, which should be helpful for me at my second pottery class tonight. We did all that stuff in the first class but it’s hard to really see the hand positions when everything’s moving around. I especially like the pictures where they’ve cut the pot in half…

Long-Sleeved Cotton PoloAt last, a Finished Object to report! I’ve been working on this jumper for the Snook for well over six months. It’s based on a Wendy pattern (#5101) which I converted to be knit in the round. To tell you the truth, it was pretty boring through most of the body and the…
