Damn Finger

How in the hell does one knit with THIS???

Stupid bandage   :|

Stupid finger   :(

Stupid broken finger that requires a stupid bandage   :[

I tried working from a different finger but that just feels WEIRD.  I tried threading through the bandage and then tightening / loosening the strappy do bobbers (highly technical term there…) all to no avail.

<LE SIGH>… Oh well, damn thing can’t stop me from drinking a beer!

Pipes!

Ok, no, not the pipes like your plumbing but Yahoo! Pipes.   Otherwise known as a mashup. Google it or wikit (I made it up… :) short for go look it up on Wikipedia!). Tangents, tangents anywhoo, back to what I’m actually blogging about.

In its simplest form a mashup is a simple way to get information from multiple sources. In my case that would be KNITTING BLOGS woot! Love ‘em! So, cleaned up and refreshed for the new year I’ve updated the knitting mashup for your pleasure.

I get the 3 most recent posts all together in one RSS from the following knitting blogs Ravelry, Yarn Harlot, Knitty, Grumperina, Knit & Tonic, Knitted Bliss, Vicki Howell, Knitters Review, Lion Brand, Crazy Aunt Purl, and Mason Dixon Knitting.

You can subscribe to the mashup via any RSS reader there are quite a few options. I personally love Google Reader.

So with no further ado here you go:  http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=UjF_LiEB3RGb1Z3zBx2yXQ&_render=rss

Enjoy!!!

One more day

Just for one more day can you be little and I can be big…

Just for one more day can you lean on my shoulder instead of you being so tall I lean on yours…

Just for one more day can you believe that I know everything…

Just for one more day can you be so excited to see me you clap your hands when I walk in the door…

Just for one more day can I carry you and cradle you in my arms…

Just for one more day can I take all of your troubles away and make everything better with a kiss…

Just for one more day can my heart not break every time I think about what happens in two years when I have to let you go start your own life…

One more day
