Geese and Grasshoppers

Over the weekend, I had the chance to visit Crosby Farm Park, here in St. Paul...not once, but twice. The weather was beautiful both Saturday and Sunday, and I had the chance to meander around Crosby Lake and the Mississippi river.

While there, we saw many geese, and one very large grasshopper. If any of you ever get the chance, I would recommend heading over there for a little visit.
I'm starting to get the hang of Blogger. I've been adding links to my site, and have figured out how to make words be actual links to cool information.
I cast on Tuesday night for the second stripey Marley hat...which shall be known as "the stripey hat" from this point forward. Expect pics soon. Also, there are now *only* 10,091 people ahead of me in line for a Ravelry invite. I'll just be patient I guess.

Greetings from a fellow Saint Paul knitter! Your blog is off to a great start, and I look forward to seeing more of your knitting. Your dad's sweater is very impressive, btw. I need to check out Crosby Farm Park - I'm woefully ignorant about things to do in StP (migrated from Mpls 2 years ago). When you get your invitation to Ravelry, look me up. My member name is Meema.

Have a good week!

Well, after thinking about starting a blog for several years now, I've finally done it. Bear with me as I get the hang of it. This will mostly be a knitting blog...which I guess means I'll need to knit a lot. No problem there. Why the name, "Knitting in Transit"? Because "Knitting on the Bus" was taken. I'm sure this is only being read by family and friends, and you all know I don't own a car and get around to and fro on the bus. Where I do a lot of knitting. Expect that I may also regale you with my tales of riding the bus. Well, I can't very well have a knitting blog without a picture of something I knit, so here you go. My latest FO...Dad's Sweater. More about this later.

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then ...

Anti-Valentine's Day

I'm not wild about Valentine's Day. Why designate one day of the year to show people you love them? Why not just do that everyday? D and I have never really done anything special for Valentine's Day. I can't even remember if we saw each other last year on Valentine's Day! This year, I want to do have an Anti-Valentine's Day. I want to spend the day with D, but do things that are the opposite of what you might do on Valentine's Day. So far, the only thing I have come up with is watching a horror movie. Since neither of us like horror movies, we probably won't do that, but I am looking for things in that spirit. Please help me. Leave any ideas you might have in comments. If you leave an idea and we do that, you'll get a special treat. Probably chocolate. Or Gummy Bears if you prefer that sort of thing.
