Those of you who know me well know that I have a thing for photos. I am the person you want to find when you have vacation photos because I will look through all of them and make a fuss.

What is it about online quizzes that I find so amusing?

You're A People's History of the United States!

by Howard Zinn

After years of listening to other peoples' lies, you decided you've
had enough. Now you're out to tell it like it is, with all the gory details and nothing
left out. Instead of respecting leaders, you want to know what the common people have to
offer. But this revolution still has a long way to go, and you're not against making a
little profit while you wait. Honesty is your best policy.

I have been doing some knitting, I just have been bad about posting. Right now I am working on a wrap but it is very slow going. I was feeling bad about how long it was taking me until I spoke with Brigitte from Klose Knit about her method of doing lace patterns. I am also working on a couple of scarves to give away and I am having another stab at making a pair of socks. I ripped out the first sock that I tried using the Magic Loop method so I am giving DPNs a try. I will post progress shots later.

You express interest...you will get wool.

On Wednesday night, a woman that I have worked with for a little over 6 years worked her very first overnight shift. She kept wandering around trying to find something to do as the pace is pretty laid back most nights and there is a little bit of down time to be had. We were talking about how other officers pass the time and I mentioned that maybe she should bring in a craft project 'cause she is a crafty kind of gal. She innocently replied "maybe I will finally teach myself to knit." I was cool and calm and didn't let on how exciting I thought that was. I just mentioned that I knit and she thought it was nice. We changed the subject and I am sure she didn't think anything else about it. On Thursday, I brought in a bag with two balls of wool, needles, and a book (Stitch-n-Bitch Nation) and handed it to her and said that she no longer had an excuse not to learn. She seemed excited by it so maybe she will give it a try. I hope so. Evidently, I am a knitting enabler.
