		<title>More recent FO&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s some eye candy for ya:&#160; a few FO&#8217;s!
Sari Silk bag:&#160; this was knit from some recycled-sari silk yarn, although at this point I&#8217;m not sure exactly which manufacturer.&#160; This major FO accomplishment started life as &#34;Unbiased&#34;, a bag pattern from Knitty, Fall 2004.
Unfortunately, mine was biased.&#160; When I sewed the pieces together, they did [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not Exactly Juvenile, but Delinquent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good heavens.&#160; It&#8217;s been a week and a half.&#160; I&#8217;m a delinquent blogger.
According to the thesaurus, you could also say, &#34;behindhand, derelict, disregardful, heedless, inattentive, indifferent, lax, lazy, negligent, regardless, remiss, slack, thoughtless, uncaring, unmindful&#34;.
Welll&#8230;&#160; thoughtless?&#160; uncaring?&#160; No, no.&#160; Let&#8217;s call it &#34;unmotivated&#34; and blame it on the computer class I&#8217;ve signed up for, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Tricks?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, apparently it isn&#8217;t true that you can&#8217;t teach an old dog new tricks.&#160; I learned a new one a couple of days ago.
OK, technically, I&#8217;d heard about it a long time ago from Marlene, who once told me that she often knits while working out.&#160; Yeah, I admit I was skeptical &#8212; how the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hazards of the Brave New Online World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A portion of an email I recently received from a person I went to engineering school with, who found me online &#8211;

&#8230; remember that you liked to knit.&#160;  It was one of your many odd/charming features!

Hmmm.
Well.
He could&#8217;ve at least put &#34;charming&#34; first!

		<title>Stuffy and Nonsense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hoo boy, it&#8217;s been a rough week here at my house.&#160; Either I&#8217;ve just had the weirdest cold ever, or I suddenly became acutely allergic to something that&#8217;s currently in the air in vast quantities.
The main reason I suspect it&#8217;s some kind of allergic reaction is that for most of it, my eyes have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sock Design 101:  Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Oh, hi.  You got that basketweave sock done all the way to the heel then?&#160; Not quite?&#160; OK, good, we&#8217;ll &#34;pick up&#34; where we left off.&#160; (ha, ha, little knitting humor there.&#160; Very little.)
Last time we went through the exercise of setting up the basketweave pattern st so that it was centered on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Well, life has been happening with a vengeance around our house the past few days.&#160; So you&#8217;ll have to forgive me for just throwing out a couple of updates here.
First of all, there are a few spots left in the Knitting 911 class this Thursday night at Knitting Bee.&#160; This class is always a lot [...]]]></description>

Dear Friends:
It is official!!!&#160;  The Farmhouse Knit Shop will be closing its doors.&#160;  All stock in the shop will be 50% off beginning Friday, May 15, 2009, and I will continue to clear all the inventory until it is gone.
The decision to close has mostly to do with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sock Design 101:  Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(This is the second in a series of posts discussing the process of designing DH&#8217;s basketweave socks.)
We left off Part 1 with a completed toe, and have discovered that in order to have a sock foot that is about 7&#34; circumference, we have ended up with 64 sts total for the foot of the sock.

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, happy day!&#160; DH&#160;has another pair of handknit socks, and I have one less UFO.&#160; (Believe it or not, I&#8217;m down to just SIX UFO&#8217;s.&#160; My advice is to keep an eye out for plagues of locusts.)

I started these socks on the trip to New Zealand, with yarn I bought there:&#160; Naturally Haven, a 100% [...]]]></description>
