breathe life into this heart



I stole that song lyric from my friend Leah, who played her songs for us last night in lieu our church membership meeting. Actually since we're all members now, our meetings are supposed to be over, but we keep meeting up anyways, and last night Leah invited us to a performance at the Free Times Cafe. It was pretty awesome, and if she hadn't been so funny, I totally would have started to cry during some of those songs. So, if you're in Toronto, keep those eyes peeled for Leah Hunter, who rocks.

Unfortunately though I had to miss the Lettuce Knit party, which sounded very fun. Oh well, at least it kept me from buying more yarn. : )


I love Christmastime but the social calendar and all this finishing-of-school-stuff is driving everyone, including me, to fatigue. Ironic, since all these songs I'm listening to right now are about hope and new life...the idea behind this holiday is so opposite what this holiday ends up being in practice. Sigh... well, the extra time spent with friends is feeling very good right now, so I'm purposely trying to avoid the schmoozing and heavy drinking events in exchange for more time quality time with people I care about.

I wanted to start a great big cast-on of Christmas knitting this week, but what with school and social holiday stuff and whatnot, all I managed to start was socks for my pop:


I lost my 5th sock toothpick needle! That sucks. Of course since the sock needles have a new project on them, that means i finally finished my very first pair of socks:



They go nicely with my sexy flannel pajama pants, eh. I really like those stripes. In fact, I've half a mind to make these someday.

In happy news, I found my 3.5 mm DPNs, which have been MIA for a few weeks now. Actually I didn't really find them at all -- after I searched absolutely everywhere, Binky the Cat last night started messing with one of my shelves, and when he fell and knocked a bunch of stuff off, somehow my needles fell out of the mess on the floor. Crazy!

There's my helpful little guy, wearing his "wtf?" look that I so love.
