Today’s our 4th anniversary!

Kind of made my day. I’m not going to write back, but at least it assures me I don’t look as crazy as I think I do, juggling my iPod, knitting, and iced tea on the train every day. Some guy actually said to me once as I got off the train, “I’m just admiring your multi-tasking …”

If you eat your ice cream with mindfulness, you understand you are eating a cloud.

I’ve been listening to this Buddhist Dharma podcast for about a month now, usually on my way to work in the morning. I highly recommend Zencast, which is a series of lectures by Gil Fronsdal and several others. The podcast offers many tidbits of wisdom …

I’ve been knitting quite a bit, and also sewing as well. I was going to wear this dress to a friend’s wedding a few weeks ago, but it just felt a bit too tenty, and not quite wedding-y, so I have yet to break it in. I hope it’s not too much of a waste of fabric, but I may take it in a bit. I’ve been running, and I’m feeling in shape, and the dress doesn’t really show that :)

During my morning commute, I’m usually knitting if I can get a seat. As I got off and switched to the red line yesterday, a woman asked me if I teach knitting. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s something I should try at some point. I shyly told her no, but sent her off to find Windsor Button.

I’ve been working on a gift for someone, so can’t really post on that, but my Rib Yoke Cardigan is done, and I’m very flattered that one of my all-time favorite knitters gave me a nice compliment.
