soapbox

Those without kids won't find this funny until you have kids.

The roundhouse kick and the stalker are particularly enjoyable.

I finished Owen’s mini Aran sweater a little over a month ago, but never got around to doing an FO post on it until now. Here it is:

The pattern is Baby Poonam, a free Berroco pattern. In the original pattern, the cables just sort of end after reaching their point of maximum horizontal travel. Maybe it’s not clear what I mean by this, but if you compare the photos above to those on the pattern page, I think you’ll see.  Looking at that pattern, it seemed to me that the eye sort of fills in the rest of the cable after it ends in the pattern. I like cables and saw no reason to have them end in empty space, so I just filled them in. I knit this in the 6 month size with Cascade 220 Superwash on circular US4′s and 6′s. Owen will be 8 months old in 5 days!  Hopefully it will fit him for the rest of sweater weather season this year.

According to blogging rule #62, any post with a picture is worthwhile.

You pay taxes, that money goes into a pot, and then gets redistributed in a way so as to take advantage of economies of scale. Rush Limbaugh is apparently upset about this (making up the total lie that his tax dollars are being spent to pay for Sandra Fluke's wanton orgies)...

... and so is Jon Stewart. "Reimburse me for the Iraq war and oil subsidies, and diaphragms are on me."

Win.

There are some photos that are epic and should never be lost. There are others that should be deleted as soon as they are taken, and never spoken of again.

I think this one falls into both categories.

This via my oceanography connections... maybe the laughter is interpreted as a mating call?

And I don't think it's a bad thing.
