I’m thankful for a lovely roof over my head and an amazing and supportive roommate.

No posts!!
Posted on November 17, 2011 by Abby
So, as you’ve noticed, I haven’t posted much recently! Some of that is because of work, some because of the holiday season, but mostly is because I’ve been doing a lot of secret knitting that I can’t post. 
But hey, maybe I’ll start posting some of what I can post, and maybe a few teaser pics of things you won’t be able to see until later. I’m having really great knitting mojo right now and I’m super excited about everything on the needles, so I’m not sure how much longer I can keep it in! Hope everyone is doing well and having a marvelous and beautiful autumn!

New Age Drinks?
Posted on October 27, 2011 by Abby
This just struck me funny. In the grocery store the other day, I saw that the aisle I was in was titled “New Age Drinks.” What exactly does this mean? Apparently they mean teas and drinks like “Fuze,” because that was what was in the aisle. Not the terminology I’d use, but ok.

Huh?
Posted on October 24, 2011 by Abby
I found this in the hallway today at work. Um…? Chair cemetery in a main walkway? Very odd, but funny!

WiP–Test Knit for Laylock
Posted on October 21, 2011 by Abby
I’m test knitting this for one of my favorite bloggers. Doesn’t look like much yet, but will soon. I love the non-traditional construction. More on this very soon! It’s so cool! And check out her site; I absolutely love her aesthetic and the setup of her website. Hope you do, too. There’s plenty there for knitters of all levels, and she also does really adorable graphic design. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy it, too!

*drool* Reykjavik grocery store
Posted on October 18, 2011 by Abby
I’m fairly certain this means I have to move to Reykjavik now. Bummer.
The Panopticon -- Reykjavik grocery
This is a picture from The Panopticon’s blog (which, by the way, is hilarious and you should read it all the time, especially if you’re a knitter), and this post in particular caught my eye. So now I need to figure out if there are any jobs way out there…. And how hard it is to learn Icelandic. And I don’t like islands very much, but I could probably deal with the mild(ish) climate. I’d better start researching!
