The Weekend Close
"Oh, you don't want those." said the lovely Scottish lady at the yarn store in Vancouver, B.C. Apparently I did because we have moved house three times with them: 14" double pointed English Aero Needles, four packs of them. And now a lovely person from Ravelry wants to take them off my hands and I am so happy. She wants to knit a human cocoon with them. Which begs two questions: with what fiber and what will she be when she emerges? Steven completed reading me Old Man's War , which led to some very moist eyes over a large batch of chocolate chip cookie dough . Not being a huge science fiction fan, I am making an exception for John Scalzi, who writes up quite a blog . The cookie recipe tweaks with proportions and gluten content with a sprinkle of salt before baking. At any rate, I had to wrestle the batter away from Steven. Nothing new there. Last night I took Steven out to the Parkway : complete with couches and beer and free popcorn. They do mostly second runs
