I’m thankful for beautiful evenings such as this.

No posts!!

Abby — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:07:04 +0000

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?

Abby — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:00:16 +0000

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.

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

Abby — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:00:47 +0000

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!

Happy Fall Decorations

Abby — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:00:22 +0000

I decorated my apartment for autumn a few weeks back but forgot to post about it, so now you get to see the prettiness I put up! It makes me so happy to have seasonal decorations around.

Hope you enjoy it, too!

drool Reykjavik grocery store

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!
