		<title>A Bunny Dilemma!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I went and got white pom-poms and some bunny eyes last night.
But Houston - we have a problem.
The original eyes of Hip and Hop are pink with black centers, 18 mm diameter, with little radial lines or &#34;veins&#34; in them.&#160; They have been sadly abused over the years, so Hip and Hop have [...]]]></description>

		<title>UFOlympics! the fourth event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I know I said I wasn&#8217;t going to work on the UFOs during my &#34;vacation&#34;.
Well, that was before I got strep throat on the very first day of my &#34;vacation&#34;.&#160; I mean, it&#8217;s not like I had this penciled in on my calendar:

Friday morning:&#160; Drop off DH at airport.&#160; Teach Friday group class.

		<title>UFOlympics! the third event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, this UFOlympics thing is getting to be quite an eye-opener for me.
For one thing, I have started to realize just how little time I devote to knitting in the course of a standard week.&#160; I mean to the actual act of pulling one loop of yarn through another.&#160; Sure, I spend plenty of time [...]]]></description>

		<title>UFOlympics!  the second event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UFO&#160;#2,&#160;the fifth bear mitten:&#160; FINISHED 07/09/08.
Final time:&#160; 2 days!
Yarn:&#160; donated acrylic stuff.
Pattern:&#160; from Twisted.
announcer&#8217;s voiceover:&#160; She&#8217;s certainly maintaining a very competitive pace&#160;thus&#160;far, but can she possibly keep it&#160;up throughout the whole event?&#160; We&#8217;ll have to wait and see.
I threw&#160;a 6-inch ruler into this picture for scale, so you can see that a single bear mitten [...]]]></description>

		<title>UFOlympics!  the first event</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ummm&#8230; I have good news, and bad news.
First, the good news:&#160; UFO&#160;#1,&#160;Brioche st hat:&#160; FINISHED 07/07/08.
Final time (offical Swiss, of course):&#160; 2 days.
The crowd goes wild!
Yarn:&#160; Manos del Uruguay silk &#38; wool.
Pattern:&#160; my own Polar Bear Pattern.
Shameless plug:&#160; this is a sample for a class I&#8217;ll&#160;teach at the Knitting Bee in Sept.&#160;
&#160;

OK, the bad news:

		<title>UFOlympics!  the Decathlon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well:&#160; I&#8217;ve been seriously winnowing out the UFO pile in preparation for the Games of Summer.&#160; I&#8217;ve had to revise my rule a bit, and&#160;I think I&#8217;ve got a goal now.

Original&#160;rule:&#160; Finish all current UFO&#8217;s&#160;by the end of the Summer Games.

OK &#8212; perhaps you&#8217;ve already figured this out, but this is sheer lunacy.
After taking a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, that Patricia is one smart cookie.&#160; And she actually has some real-life experience and knowledge about styling, and how things ought to look.
So I took her advice on the whole &#34;new look for the blog&#34; thing.&#160;I have gone back to the &#34;old&#34; template, because it worked fine and did what I wanted it to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wrap Cardigan, Part 5 - let&#8217;s hear it for the sleeves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, you can&#8217;t say I haven&#8217;t been keeping you in suspense!&#160; It&#8217;s been a month since the last post on the wrap cardigan:&#160; and against all expectations,&#160;I&#8217;ve made a fair amount of progress.
We have sleeves!&#160; (They actually go down to about 3/4 length so far, but none of the pictures&#160;that showed the full sleeves were [...]]]></description>

		<title>UFOlympics!  the Summer Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, I got game.&#160; (Whatever that means.)
I also still got plenty of UFO&#8217;s.
So, here goes:&#160; I&#8217;m officially entering the 2008 Summer UFOlympic Games.
Welllll, kind of officially.&#160; There&#8217;s some wiggle room there, I think.
Background:&#160; As far as I can tell after a whole&#160;5 minutes of online research, the UFOlympics concept started in 2006 with this blogger&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoa!&#160; What happened?!
Obviously, I&#8217;m trying out a different look for tessknits.com.&#160; There are a few things that still need tweaking:&#160; admittedly some of the colors on the class pages&#160;need a bit of lot of work.&#160;&#160;But I thought I&#8217;d see what you think before I put too much more work into it.
Take a look around &#8212; [...]]]></description>
