A Good Yarn: Best of 2008
http://goodyarn.blogspot.com/2009/02/best-of-2008.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. 3 The Dark Knight. 4 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. 6 Vicky Cristina Barcelona. 8 Burn After Reading. 9 I've Loved You So Long. My favorite documentaries for this year were:. 1 At the Death House Door. 2 Young @ Heart. 3 Man on Wire. 6 Up the Yangtze. 8 Encounters at the End of the World. There were a bunch of other movies that I really liked a lot and quite a few that I liked, but didn't love, so overall I'd say this was a good year for movies, for me. Hey, its 2009!

A Good Yarn: Don't you just feel better?
http://goodyarn.blogspot.com/2009/01/dont-you-just-feel-better.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Don't you just feel better? What a great day yesterday was! Unfortunately, I had to work, so I couldn't stay home and watch the inaugural, but I got to see enough of everything to be absolutely elated. After so many disappointments over the last 8 years, especially the death of Paul Wellstone, I feel such great hope. I did spend part of MLK Day watching the fantastic concert on the mall and knitting preemie hats. I got three hats done:. Posted by renee at 5:46 PM. Yes, We Did!

A Good Yarn: Knitting News
http://goodyarn.blogspot.com/2009/01/knitting-news.html
Sunday, January 18, 2009. OK, as I said last time, I wasn't super productive in the knitting department between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I did work on a few things. I finished one front and the back on my Borghild cardigan. I thought I'd knit the boring stockinette back before the second front so that I'd have something to look forward to. As I mentioned last time, I gave a pair of socks I knit last summer to my sister for Christmas and I was knitting a hat for my brother. Jeanne and Chelle have t...

A Good Yarn: January 2005
http://goodyarn.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2005. WHAT date is it? I'm shocked it's already the last day of January. I swear Christmas was just a week ago, wasn't it? Yesterday completed the busy weekend. I met my friend Alissa at Bakery on Grand. When I got home, I cast on for "Ruffles" for the Red Scarf Project. Isn't it pretty? This yarn is unbelievably soft. It's an unplied silk and very fragile. The label suggest putting the ball of yarn in a baggie while you're knitting. I can see that it would get worn and pi...I wanted ...

Humble Knits: Humbled by a Bonnet
http://humbleknits.blogspot.com/2008/03/humbled-by-bonnet.html
A Minnesota knitter in love with yarn and crazy about knitters. Tuesday, March 18, 2008. Humbled by a Bonnet. Here's the successful hat:. It fits my sister perfectly, and she says it's just what she wanted. I liked it so much, I started a second one for myself. But I have lots of hats, so back to the hat for the baby. As you can tell by the beard, this bonnet turned out to be appropriately sized for my full-grown, adult male co-worker. Adorable, isn't it? March 30, 2008 at 11:10 PM. Socks in the Cities.

http://humbleknits.blogspot.com/2008/03/epic-dad-sweater.html
A Minnesota knitter in love with yarn and crazy about knitters. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. The Epic Dad Sweater. I just got back a little while ago from my trip to visit my parents and help clean out their basement to prepare for some remodelling. It was way too quick, but very nice and pretty productive. I got there shortly after things started blooming and loved seeing daffodils, croci (crocuses? Pattern: Saddle Shoulder Sweater from The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, by Ann Budd. Yarn note: I...
