fly wheel

while i was at the photo pro supply store i came across a book of melding photography and word artistry, fear not. i remember reading one of the titles which read: in the absence of love, love. i only know one way and that is to love. it is my choice and my choice alone. i walked (2) blocks over to Lint and met up with michele. she bought a pair of interchangeable knitting needles. she also bought me a little button that says 'love monkey' with two little monkies on it. we then took off, zoomed across town over the willamette and zigzagged back and forth until we found a place to eat. after lunch, we were without car [kar kaputt]. jehan told me later on in the day that the engines to all VW jettas and passets were refurbished after 2003. =( if anything, the drive back from the VW dealership is one of my favorites. traveling on I-26 (away from the ocean beaches) and right past exit 73 (pge park), is my favorite way to enter Portland. there is this beautiful bridge you pass under and since you are higher in elevation and descending into the city, i can't think of a better entrance into Portland. i puddered around last night in the privacy of my own home. oh yea, jehan's package arrived. half broken half intact. package properly, my little grasshopper. geez. ;) the last thing i pulled out of the box was a book (one that i wanted very much) entitled simple knits with a twist by erika knight.
i plan to knit in the wire very soon (24 gauge, 0.5 mm) and knit the woven woolen rug. today, i plan to also finish my bag and work on knitting coasters [raspberry stitch] with some of my leftover yarn.

here is your trivia question for the day: what is a smoot? hint: it has something to do with your hand. speaking of that, my finger looks like it was attacked by a bad case of jaundice (something i had when i was first born). and coming soon...

i am the brandnew owner of a Nikon coolpix 4600.
