I filled my MP3 player with old mixed cds I made 10 years ago and it’s been making me happy. For example today, on my way to and from work here is what I heard:
2. ‘Girl You Know it’s True’ by Milli Vanilli
3. ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Happiness’ by Jelleestone (no video?!)
4. ‘Detachable Penis’ by King Missile (shitty video)
5. ‘I Can’t Go For That’ by Hall and Oates
6. ‘Valley Girl’ by FZ (this video is AWESOME!)
8. ‘You Suck’ by The Yeastie Girls
9. ‘Back in Baby’s Arms’ by Patsy Cline
10. ‘Boogie in Your Butt’ by Eddie Murphy (shockingly there’s no video for this amazing song, what a shame!)
11. ‘Freedom of 76′ by Ween (and Beevis and Butthead!)
12. ‘Living on Video’ by TransX
13. ‘Slave to the Rhythm’ by Grace Jones
16. ‘Poison’ by Bell Biv Devoe
Ok, so on my knitlist, here’s what I have going on-all at the same time:
From the left, I have 2 baktus scarves (the first one is some kind of sock yarn that I can’t remember the name and the second is more of the Misti Baby Alpaca Hand Painted Sock) on the go. Then a Calorimetry head scarf in Noro Silk Light (which looks super cute on), then a straight up green scarf in that super plush Lang Perl yarn, and then sock #1. I dread sock #2 although it can only be easier the second time around, right? I swear my brain’s been damn near exploding trying to figure out this pattern… And if you read this please DON’T TELL MY DAD!
I want socks!!!!!!!!!! :)
Sure thing, Jamie. I’ll tell you what, we can trade. I’ll give you my next pair of hand knit socks and you give me your next born child, ok? Sounds fair to me!
adorable… such an amazing band. I *JUST* ressurected them as well :).
Calorimetries are great gifts. I like to knit matching mitties to go with them.
Suggestion: If you decide to make socks again, a good idea is to get a second set of dpns and knit both at the same time.

PS. Dad’s gonna love them for sure!!
Homeboy used to make me tear up every time I heard it.
And then there’s, “I know you think it’s such a drag….” Hahahha, Yeastie Girls.
I do have 2 sets, mum, otherwise…well, they would have been impossible. At one point I had 7 needles working at once, it was a bit chaotic!
Andrea, the calorimetry took longer for a small project than I really like (what am I talking about, those baktus are forevers) so somehow I doubt I’ll do another any time soon. Unless I do the half version of it…
I am interested in your loom, those scarves are so pretty, but can all it do is straight across squared fabrics? Or you do that and then cut it to make a skirt or whatever? Do you use regular yarn in it?
This one’s on my knitlist…

I love knitty.com!
The scarves i made on a small portable loom called a rigid heddle. On a rigid heddle, you are *pretty much* constrained to plain weave.. (one up, one down). More skilled weavers can hand manipulate to do more.. but you can do alot with your colour choices and beading the edge and things of that nature.
My big floor loom can pretty much do anything. If you want the fabric to sew with then ya, what you said… Basically weave the fabric then treat it like fabric you bought at a store. :)
And ya, i narrowed my version of the calorimetry quite a bit :-O. Knitting is definitely slower than crocheting… but both have their place in my heart. :)
