A certain amount of neuropathy is apparently inevitable after six years of dialysis. (It's apparently fast, too; in the early days the soles of my feet would burn at the least provocation, and walking or standing for much time was really, really unpleasant.) I started keeping a pair of cheap-ass flats under my desk at work because I couldn't ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago I finally bought some slipper soles for my purple slipper-socks, which are knit but have not had the suede soles put on yet. The soles are pre-punched for your convenience, and have faux shearling linings for comfort ( Read more... )

but it's tu hot tu waer them.

I finally finished the second Mebilsock last night! No pictures--it was late when I finally did it. My Kitchener stitch still looks a little wacky, but I think this one was a little less clumsy than the first one ( Read more... )

I have reached the point on the psychedelic balaclava at which I am now knitting the top of the helmet, on each row picking up a stitch to join it with the sides of the helmet.

I have a fireworks sweater that I just love, but that I don't wear too much because one shoulder seam is coming undone and I haven't tried to fix it yet. It came from Goodwill in high school sometime. I once saw a woman wearing one in different colours, but she didn't know where it came from either because hers had been used too ( Read more... )

Often I dress casually on casual Friday, but some weeks I just dress... differently. Today I'm wearing the black top with the crocheted sleeves that I originally bought for Sarah's bachelorette night, my (only pair of) jeans and my black character shoes (which I lost ten minutes searching for this morning). Last year I wore heels a grand total of ( Read more... )

How do I tell iTunes that something is an audiobook? It put the ones I copied into the genre "books and spoken word" under music, not under "audiobooks ( Read more... )
