damn. it's been so long. i told you i'd update, jo. i've been knitting a lot for christmas and i wanted to put some pictures up sooner but adam would have seen. and now that he has his presents, i can.

Knitted Baby Blanket.

I started knitting this around the end of June and it took a few weeks. My landlady Wendy asked me to knit her a blanket for her new nephew, Jerris. Anyway, she sent me pictures of him with the blanket... I'm dying. He's so cute.

two headed boy.

i finished that scarf last night, and today started a pair of socks! i'm excited, and scared.

i'll blame it on bad luck and shake responsibility.

i'm working on this scarf. i started... saturday night, jan 31. <3

hung our diplomas on the bathroom wall.

this is the finished "marsan watchcap." i didn't think it'd fit, but it does, and now i like it. i might make more with this yarn, or just different hats with this yarn because it's warm and i want to get rid of it (my problem with all my yarn). anywho, in the middle picture it swirls and i tried capturing that but i guess it didn't work too well. use your imagination. :]

please.

my new favorite bible verse:

james 5:16

"therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."

also, read life together by dietrich bonhoeffer. please.

i'll meet you up high in your angles.

i'm working on this little hat now. it's a marsan watchcap, from some lady's blog. i started last night. i want to be done!

singin' in the rain.

i started this little hat on friday, january 16th (dad's birthday!) and finished it just about an hour ago. :]

utilities.

i've been listening to "reunion tour" a lot, and john k samson is my life. so this song "utilities" my favorite right now and i thought i'd post it.

Got this feeling
That today doesn't like me.
Or the air tastes like
Flowers and paint.
There's a sink full
Of bottles and cutlery.
And the car
Has got a list of complaints.

I just wish I
Were a toothbrush,
Or a solder gun.
Make me something
Somebody can use.

We can wish on
The pop of a lightbulb.
Or those photos
Lying yellow and curled.
Loose in boxes
Near abandoned electronics.
In the corners of the basements
Of the world.

Guess our wishes
Don't do dishes,
Or brake repairs.
Make them something
Somebody could use.

Got a face full
Of ominous weather.
Smirking smile
Of a high pressure ridge.
Got more faults than
The state of California.
And the heart is a badly built bridge.

Seems the most I
Have to offer,
Doesn't offer much.
Make it something
Somebody could use.
Make this
Something somebody
Could use.
