Happy Blogiversary

Mon, 02/27/06 2:07 P GMT-07

Yesterday Nepenthe's Misadventures turned two! It is so hard to believe that my little blog means as much to me as it does, being just a jumble of words and a loose collection of pictures. But without it I would never have met Jenny, Miss

Tempting the Fates

Tue, 02/21/06 11:18 A GMT-07

I don't want to jinx this, but I finally think it is working. And after some more clackulatin' I was able to cast on (for the fourteenth, fifteenth time?) and make some progress! Hurrah! Now if I can just remember how to count to six I am

The Lure of the Sock

Fri, 02/17/06 2:40 P GMT-07

Um, yeah. So I should be knitting a certain sumthin' sumthin' for a birthday girl, but I must confess, the project is KICKING my ass. It is doable, but I am out of my comfort zone, that is for sure. (Don't worry about it, b'day girl - I am lear

Stunt knitter

Tue, 02/14/06 9:23 A GMT-07

Well. I thought that I had everything worked out. There were sketches, and applied mathematics, double-checking and triple-checking, but somehow it all went wrong again. So I let P. play for a little while:

With grace and aplomb.....oh, dangit!

It is a VERY good thing that I did not sign up for a knitting Olympic team because I bit it big time. Over and over, with the dazzling skill of Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards I cast on stitches, knit a few rows, swore like a sailor, and ri

New Mexican

Fri, 02/10/06 11:43 A GMT-07

Thanks for the well wishes yesterday - I am feeling less fragile today. In only a few short months P and I will be leaving New Mexico for Boston. And on our recent trip through northern New Mexico I was reminded about why I have learned to lov

I was going to write a negative post today - I am feeling out of sorts, and hurt, and generally miffed. But instead I am just not going to go there today. There is enough negativity in the world right now. Instead you get a picture of Du

Wolf Creek photos

Mon, 02/06/06 11:03 A GMT-07

Here are some of the photos I took this weekend. Had I remembered the camera cord I wouldn't be uploading all of them today, but because of my forgetfulness, you get a boatload of pictures. My apologies to readers on dial-up. Everytime I

Chillin' in Pagosa Springs

Sat, 02/04/06 4:05 P GMT-07

My legs are like jelly, I have a slight sunburn, and an assortment of bruises....but I am happy. My snowboarding skills are improving, one bump and bruise at a time. So here I am in southern Colorado, enjoying the snow here (so much less

For want of cable...

Fri, 02/03/06 2:08 P GMT-07

You had better believe that had I cable on Sunday I would be watching this instead of an entire day of overfed and overpaid men standing around and occasionally trying to flatten the shit out of each other. I like the fact that A

The Ladies of Knit Night

Wed, 02/01/06 12:14 P GMT-07

I haven't updated in a little while - I have been feeling really really snarky for some reason, and I thought it was best if I just concentrated on knitting rather than making widespread social commentary that might get me in trouble. I underst
