So that's my top 5 list of hotties. I thought about it for a while and that's what i came up with. I would just like to add that even though all of these ladies have nice bodies sexiness comes from the inside. i would love to hear what you think. I would love to see your top five list (with pics). I know a lot of you will think that megan fox should be on the #1 spot, she is hot but not as hot as the four that came before her.

In celebration of our new acquisition, a 1998 Volvo V70, and one of my new finished objects, a Purple Suede Bikini, I present the following photo shoot:

Old, dear Mulva, our 1992 Volvo 740 whose drivability was becoming questionable, was donated to npr, to which I am listening right now. RIP, Mulva.

Stop Traffic!!!

First of all, thanks to everyone who shared boot and clothing stories. I'm now fixated on getting a pair of Grenson Brogues for myself.

This fall I was able to squeeze out a few handknit presents. My favorite: mitts for my Dud, whose hands get ridiculously cold in the winter (we think it has something to do with altered circulation after his spinal cord injury). In any case, I was inspired by a policeman directing traffic one day on my drive to work, so I made him these. And I made him pose as if he was directing traffic.


Then I told him, "LOOK MORE CONVINCING!"


He was a little bit cranky because it was cold and raining outside. Here's a closeup:

The yarn is Madelinetosh DK in Graphite and Edison Bulb that I purchased at Little Knits on my Seattle trip this fall. I made up the pattern on the go and ended with a braid.

Oh nooooo 2011!

When attempting to take a photo of my sister wearing a brand new Wham Bam Thank You Lamb cowl that I whipped up out of some black Schaefer Kathleen, this happened to my camera:

Okay, so the camera dates back to 2004, but post-holidays is never a great time for unexpected expenses. Fortunately I got some nice photos of a few simple designs I'll be publishing over the next month or so, including this one:

As soon as I can get this into my new InDesign template, it will be up!
