		<title>I&#8217;ve moved on, I&#8217;m now playing with knives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Maggie introduced me to Hitty. Hitty is a sweet little doll and main character in the book Hitty, Her First Hundred Years. I haven&#8217;t gotten hold of the book yet, but from what I picked up Hitty starts out as a bit of mountain ash and is carved by a family friend in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still on socks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had another birthday a few days ago. It was thoroughly okay. And more socks. They look more or less like the other socks that I&#8217;ve already finished. I did the longer cuffed socks first, now I&#8217;m just trying to squeeze out a few pairs of the shorties out of the skein ends. There is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lots of socks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;and more to come. I think. I haven&#8217;t exactly been very definite lately. I seem to work best in bursts. After a stint of yarnlessness (it was really not pretty) I went through a bit of a knitting related dry spell. Actually, if I hadn&#8217;t been for the knitting this week I would have probably [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tea Cozy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I promise I&#8217;ll follow up on the spring rolls soon. Cross my heart and hope to knit with nasty scratchy acrylic. But tea cozies always get me excited (obviously, I don&#8217;t get out too much.) Matt is moving his studio back to the house, which means that the space I appropriated for sewing had to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salad rolls, part one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Please don&#8217;t ask me where salad rolls end and spring or summer rolls begin, because I have no clue. I really don&#8217;t. I just like them, because they taste good and don&#8217;t make me feel bad about myself, and I thought since it&#8217;s quickly warming up that it would be good to share something that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A stitch in time saves nine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to think that saying meant something about actually stitching the fabric of time, and I had no idea that it referred to actual mending. I guess I&#8217;ve always been an abstract thinker, or a very twisted literal thinker. We&#8217;re still waiting for the roof to dry out enough so that we can repair [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home ownership is a pain isn&#8217;t it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our house is from the 40&#8242;s&#8211; we sort of expect things to go wrong from time to time. What we don&#8217;t expect is for everything to go wrong, all at once, all the time. So there&#8217;s just a bit of water damage in the bathroom. Just a little. I mean, it&#8217;s not like we have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where is a gritty reboot when you need one?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know everyone says not to apologize for not blogging, nor blog about having not blogged. I could make excuses. I could cringe and wait for criticisms. I could simply ignore the fact that I&#8217;ve once again let my self imposed obligations fall to the wayside. I could apologize. All of the above are more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kung food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Candy. Sushi. Candy + Sushi = candy sushi. I&#8217;ve wanted to do this since spotting this Make: How to. I made the rice crispy treat base, but everything else was a group effort with the kids right down to the roe eggs and oddly placed jelly &#38; marshmallow frogs on the board. Lexi even added [...]]]></description>
