Tall Sprouts Order

Tall Order, originally uploaded by betwixt.

Before this visit to the Fort Greene Farmer's Market, I had no idea where brussels sprouts came from. Imagine my surprise finding these babies going for $5 a stalk. Before brussels sprouts had always arrived from the store in neat little plastic covered containers.

Making Myself Aware

Awareness is the first step towards meaningful change. Looks like now is a good time to both change and eat.

The Fool

The fool, the wide-eyed innocent of the Major Arcana, begins his journey on a new path with the willingness to step off a cliff into the unknown. He brings little provisions with him, ready to create or find what he needs along the way. The sun at his back, his dog to accompany him, the fool's carefree pose stands testament to his search for the new adventure, to the faith he has in himself to forge a new path.

Wondering

Who do you put down as your emergency contact once you breakup?

Fingerless Mitt 1 of 2

Fingerless Mitt #1, originally uploaded by betwixt.

The pattern I am using is Fingerless Mitts in Weekend Knitting with Zitron Loft Color merino yarn. My plan was to use this project to increase my skill lever beyond garter stich scarfs. Wrangled with it some but got some help from the Queer Knitting Circle.

Tomorrow: cast on mitt 2!
