So, when people ask what I've been doing I tell the truth. I've been knitting. I've been watching the playoffs. Other than working and teaching, I really haven't been doing much else.

I'm currently working on Freewheelin' and I'm at the sixth section with about 53 cable patterns across. It's nuts. I love it, and I can't wait to get it off the ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a while. Huh. I feel like I should update everything that's gone on, but basically it boils down to working, knitting, watching hockey and actually reading books. Nothing too interesting.

...lies! I actually took my mom to the Assiniboine Park Zoo on Good Friday because it was open and the weather was nice. We packed a lunch and ( Read more... )

Urgh. I'm currently having a "spinning is HARD" pity party, because apparently I can't spin a balanced single to save my life on this wheel, and that's kind of important for the thing I've challenged myself to do. Namely, spin each type of yarn in Spin Art before either the end of the year or heading off to the workshop with Jacey Boggs that I'm ( Read more... )

First game that the Jets have won after trailing at the end of the second period. Four unanswered goals. On the road. Against the Capitals.

After that game, I don't even care if the Jets don't make the playoffs (lies, but that's what I'm telling myself right now.) That felt like a statement about how they've improved in the second half of the season ( Read more... )

Oh man. Just realized that if you include the nights that I'm teaching along with my days working in the shop, I'll be working every day until next Friday. And this continues from the 10th. *blinks* I mean really, it's not that crazy since on the nights that I'm teaching I don't work during the day. It's just constant.

I've been considering a train ( Read more... )

The last time on Oil Change: Overdrive the Oilers were winning! Imagine that. Khabibulin was the top goaltender in the league, there was the moms trip and it ended with "WE WANT TEN." That feels so long ago, you guys.

( it feels so long ago, now. )

Bless the Oilers for putting up Renney's press conferences. So many things to think about, from Renney acknowledging that he probably won't be the coach when the Oilers win in the future (sadness!), but that he's the guy that builds them up to it (understandable!) Also, around minute 9, he talks about Petry's development this year and I may have ( Read more... )

So, this happened last night:



SAMMY!

And this was after the Jets won in overtime on a Wellwood goal. It was kind of an awesome night. I may have woken up smiling.

ETA: This PuckDaddy post has some context for Sam's night.

You guys, you guys, you guys.

Seriously, how fucking awesome is Wab Kinew? And how great is 8th Fire? So awesome, so great.

I've been having all the feelings about everything lately. BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER.

Saturday nights I curl up on the couch with mom and watch hockey for five hours and knit. Sundays we curl up on the couch and watch a rotation of Bitchin' Kitchen, Barefoot Contessa and any other cooking shows we picked up on the PVR during the week, and I knit.

Honestly, it's kind of awesome. <3
