mind too clear

Clementine, she is finished.

The tree, on second thought, not such a hot idea for a backdrop.  Only one other person on earth knows what the alternative was and for negating that momentary lapse in judgment, blogdom should be grateful.

everybody had a wet dream

MSWF 2007 link love has arrived.  Get connected here.

i'm ahead

Out comes Big Blue and down goes Clementine for the block.

Steam blocked - not RC's favorite method (a few catastrophic disasters in the past, let's not talk about them, m'kay?), but it survived.  Can't wait to take it out for a test drive.

What's a blocking session without the requisite interloper?

What to do while awaiting the yarn delivery for the next project...

Wendy's Dream Swatch Headwrap (pdf).  Rock Chick found a single skein of Spirit Trail Fiberworks 100% silk in her stash from last year's MSWF.  Gorgeous stuff - so slippery it had to be wound into a ball; it collapsed in cake form.

Speaking of MSWF, it looks like they've started linking on the vendors list.  A bit half-assed at this point, but appreciated as Rock Chick's annual invasion plan involves doing this on her own every year.  Hey, MSWF folks, RC volunteers her services for free if it will get this in gear.  Call her.  ETA: The list indicates the links had to be purchased.  Okay, I'll make my own linked page,and post it later.  Dear God, toss us a frickin' fried Twinkie, will ya?

ruled his world

Today's edition of "Where's Wilfred" finds him usurping Rock Chick's Burger King crown.

Yes, she wore it all day and no, not one colleague thought it strange.

take your pick

There are those types of knitters who cannot live with flaws - they'll rip back beyond a lifeline, if necessary.  The flaw may be imperceptible to others, but that knitter cannot abide it.  Rock Chick is not that knitter.

If you think she is ripping back on Clementine because of five missed garter stitches, you must have started reading this blog yesterday.

Clementine is half finished and she is fab.

A bit of pooling, but again, no Xanax required.  Yes, RC has multiple skeins and, no, she can't be bothered to alternate every couple of rows. 

take your time

Alive.  Well. Happy-ish.  Knitting.

The Clementine Shawlette from IK Spring '07.  The Brooks Farm Limited Edition has finally found what it wanted to be after three false starts.  Just in time to justify loading up on whatever the fine pushers from Lancaster, Texas unleash at MSWF.  Did someone say the "M" word?

Contributing to the happy is knowing one is working closely with one's humor peer group.

Found on RC's desk Friday.  Someone knows Rock Chick eats oatmeal every morning.
