A Pear of Pairs...

Or a Pair of Pears. D and I went to my sister's place (actually her in-law's place, where they are staying until they find a home in MN) this weekend for dinner, and these large pears adorn the counter in the kitchen. I kind of like them.


We played a lot of Wii. Boxing...


That's my Mii, knocked out on the ground. So sad. Her name is Mimi.


...and tennis.


We also got to play with Nathan a lot, who did not like it AT ALL when we told him not to stick his finger in the central vac outlet. Oh, the tears welling up in his eyes, the lip stuck out in a tiny pout, his head resting on my shoulder as he cried and cried. It broke my heart. Then he watched some Elmo and everything was fine! Yay!

I finished up the Lace-Edged hat on Sunday while I watched the Timberwolves/Toronto Raptors game. I'll get a better picture later...I'm not sure how well the lace pattern is going to show up with this yarn. Once Heather can try it on, I'll know for sure and will post details.


I also spent a little time working on the Petroleum Blanket. I think I am going to need to buy more yarn for it. So much for the $5 blanket. I'm also, quite frankly, sick of it. But, it's a good project for while I am watching TV.


It is chilly here in MN today. I am so ready for summer right now. Bring on the warmth!

Hey Michelle, I like those pears too! We had green pears for lunch at school - I kept 6 in a brown paper bag and hopefully they'll be delicious on Wednesday or so. Also, have you seen this way of knitting illusions? http://www.wikihow.com/Illusion-Knit

Sara, I have done that! I'll post a picture of my shadow scarf in the next day or two. Mine is just stripes, but I've seen skulls and hearts and other cool things!

I have entered the blogosphere!

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.
