This is cool:

My friend Stacey, who is a talented musician, put a recording of one of her songs here. Click to listen. She sounds even more lovely playing live.

What I am knitting.

Actually, I am knitting a lot. I am completely in the swing of Christmas knitting, already. But because the knitting is all presents for other people, I don't feel free to post pictures of any of it. Which explains the dearth of pics and posting on this blog (at least partially, anyway.)

The photo that exemplifies my Rhinebeck experience.

I never blogged about Rhinebeck. Well, it was great. Like everybody says. Completely overwhelming.

Going through my photos the other day, I decided that even a couple weeks later, this photo was still worth blogging. This is what I remember about Rhinebeck: following my little nephew as he wildly pushed the stroller into unsuspecting passers-by. (He considers the stroller to be just a very big car in his collection of many, many wheeled toys.)

However, as we were standing outside of this booth, the Spirit-Trail Yarns booth (and only booth where I actually bought any yarn), my nephew walked away from the stroller and grabbed a skein of the yarn, and stated, "want to knit, now!"

Its only a matter of time...
