You can make your own too!

Stitch and BitchMe and Mary-Helen at SSK. Lots of people venturing out to knit in the sunshine!

Felted Pirate Queen Booty Bag. I like it! I’ve never done any “double knitting” (as in, two colour double knitting to produce a reversible fabric) or felting/fulling before. I wonder if I could get it done before Talk Like a Pirate Day… (Link courtesy of miftik.)

Underground Notre Dame Glossary. Even though I haven’t been on campus in literally YEARS, it’s good to know how many things stay the same. But what the hell is “Legends”? Did Senior Bar change its name? That sucks. “Legends” sounds like a crappy Vegas variety show. (I hope they at least kept the shuffleboard table.)…

Voodoo Curse?Ma Snook recently brought down the Snook’s birthday present: two new teapots. One is a beautiful large retro-futuristic green pot, while the other is a small Alice in Wonderland pot.

Idol Semifinal Roundup(It’s the last one, I promise.) I ended up going 7-for-8 with my Final 8 predictions, which isn’t bad! Bobby went through (yay!) along with Joseph (meh).
