High on my to-do list for the day:

  1. Head over to Down Home Music before they close at the absurdly early hour of 6:00 and buy Chuck Prophet's new album, Soap and Water.
  2. Figure out whether Annie Lennox's new album is worth dropping $15 or more on.
  3. Wonder whether I'd love KT Tunstall's albums or be annoyed by them.
  4. Buy the new Bruce Springsteen album for Jane.
  5. Find a way to unload the Drive-by Truckers album I wasted $15 on a couple of weeks ago. (Pipe up if you want it!)
  6. Consider doing the same with the CD by novelty-act Lily Allen.
  7. Write on my arm in indelible ink: Do not buy CDs on impulse.

I like KT Tunstall! If you like Bonnie Raitt you'd probably like her, too. And you can't go wrong with the Boss.

You didn't like Lily Allen? Saves me a trip.
Lately I've had Lori McKenna's Unglamorous in rotation, but then I'm a cowgirl on a budget and lyrics about drinking wine out of jelly jars makes fiscal, if not musical, sense to me. Interested to hear what you think og new Lennox.

Without deadlines, I couldn't get anything done except breathe. And eat. Of course. There was a deadline to submit patterns for the winter Knitty and MagKnits issues, so I finished writing a pattern (and knitting it up and photographing it). It wasn't accepted, so I'll be publishing it here in a couple of weeks, after I knit up a kid-size sample and do a new photo shoot. The past couple of Thursday evenings I took the lovely and talented PunkRawkPurl's Mitts with Moxie class at KnitOneOne, which was delightful fun. However, I did not meet the deadline to have a mitt knit up to the thumb gusset by class session #2--because I kept starting over and changing my mind about what I wanted to do. I changed yarns twice and stitch pattern once--and I think I will start over yet again. I will get them done, though, because I need some mitts to wear on Hawk Hill. You need...

Seattle Knitting Sojourn It's now the third weekend in October, so high time to tell you all about my first weekend in October. Thursday night I flew to Seattle for the Nordic Knitting Conference at the Nordic Heritage Museum. The museum is housed in a converted school that was built in maybe the '20s or '30s. I was charmed by the architecture because I went to elementary and junior high schools that were built in the '60s, with completely character-free architecture. Y'know, open-plan buildings that didn't have classrooms, they had "pods." So sitting in my first session of the conference, in a very old-fashioned looking classroom being lectured to by a rather formal older woman, I had a happy little "back in school" fantasy unrelated to any life experience of mine. But I thought it was a terrific reuse of a lovely old building. Apparently the museum would like to relocate to a...
