In the Snow and Back

So I've been on the road again. Back to Minneapolis to close on a condo and see family. And as might be expected of Minneapolis it greeted me with a snow storm. It wasn't a whiteout type of snow storm, just one that started out with rain, morphed to big heavy wet flakes and then to the smaller colder flakes. That was Thursday, by Friday morning everything was covered with a thin coat of ice. Sunday it was over 60 degrees F or about 15-16 C. Welcome to Minnesota in the spring.

Here's a few photos of my downtown condo. It is right on Nicollett Mall so I'll be in easy walking distance to parks, museums, Orchestra Hall, shopping and dining, when I'm in town. I'm one happy camper!

One side of the galley kitchen; that there's a granite countertop, my first.

Count them one, two, three closets in the bedroom

There's more photos but I don't want to bore anyone. I left on Tuesday, morning with a rather vicious stomach virus and had to fly three hours and then drive three hours north from Seattle, Washington. If a way could have been figured out how to teleport Paul from Vancouver to Seattle that day I would have called him to come get me. But I was too sick to figure that one out. Instead, I drove an hour and stopped to sleep an hour until I got home. (Oh by the way as a final parting gift Minneapolis gave me some light snow again on my way out of town.)

Finally to close this condo discussion, a big shout out to DACK, MIKE and NANCY for their help. I purchased this virtually sight (or in my case site) unseen except for Facetime. These folks were my eyes and inspectors as I asked them to look at properties for me. It would not have happened without any one of you. Thanks so very much to each of you.

I'm back all safe and sound and just about over the virus. More later about visits with family, the chicken waffle (trust me this discussion is about to end) and my next couple of knitting assignments for M.

Anatomy of a Sock

I've been knitting socks for a relatively short time. One of the disconcerting things for me as I started following patterns for socks is the pattern designer assumes the knitter (in this case that would be me) knows all the parts of a sock. So I thought I'd devote a post to improve my own knowledge about the anatomy of a sock and maybe some of you will learn something about the humble yet necessary sock as well. Here's the names of the parts of the foot as I know them. #49 ankle, #50 heel, #51, instep, #52 ball, #53 big toe, #54 toe, #55 little toe, #56 toenail. There are some parts more important for this discussion; first the heel of a foot is generally used to refer to the entire C-shape from the ankle to the instep. Speaking of the instep, it refers to that curve near the bottom of the foot. And what seems to be missing in the design above is the sole which generally refers to the bottom of the foot in total or plantar aspect in more technical terms...

Ode to the Cat

It has been six months since Mike, the cat's, passing. I think of him every day and miss him especially when Paul is away. Mike was a being in the house with me and we were close. Grieving his death has been muddled with my Dad's passing and sometimes I feel guilty about that happening. As time passes the ache becomes less hurtful for both and I am starting to get mostly good memories in its place. Recently I helped celebrate Pablo Neruda's birthday with Jami, my poet and overall very creative friend. Guests were asked to select one poem written by Neruda to read to the small group who gathered for the celebration. I picked this one: Ode To The Cat -- Pablo Neruda There was something wrong with the animals: their tails were too long, and they had unfortunate heads. Then they started coming together, little by little fitting together to make a landscape, developing birthmarks, grace, flight. But the cat, only the cat turned ou...

Knitting-Related Guinness World Records

I had to share some of the Guinness World Records connected with knitting. It is amazing to me the type of skill, stamina and unique characteristics these record holders have in common. How about trying to knit with these SPNs?? Ingrid Wagner and her large needles and knitted swatch The largest knitting needles measured 3.5 m (11 ft 5.8 in) long and had a diameter of 8 cm (3.15 in). Ingrid Wagner, a rug and art creation artist, from the UK used the needles to knit a tension square of ten stitches by ten rows at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, on March, 10 2008. (And I complained about getting certain SPNs stuck in my clothes.) See how this swatch was done with merely 5 people managing the needles. And what about the yarn? It is truly ex-bulky. It looks like they're knitting in a warehouse, but with a wingspan of almost 24 feet or 7 m, you'd need all that space. Or h...
