So Jayne strapped on his hat…

December 19th 2006 in Journal, Knitting

A few weeks ago I made mention of my desire to learn to knit and the existence of a pattern for Jayne’s Toboggan. I think I actually called my pal, Cameron, out when I made mention of it because she was the one who told me about it.

A week or so ago Cameron hinted at something she had for me; she said it was a Hanukkah present and that she would bring it to epee class on Friday (this would have been Friday last). Unfortunately I missed last Friday’s epee class, ironically enough, for Hanukkah, heh. As a result, Woody brought my Hanukkah present from Cameron in last night, to foil class.

Placed into my hot little hands was a yellow, Bubble-lite 5 package with several curious postmarks on it. This one immediately caught my eye:

As I looked over the rest of the stamps a sneaking suspicion began to form in my mind:

The suspicion was confirmed when I opened the package and found a kit for Jayne’s Toboggan.

In addition to the kit itself, which came with all the yarn needed and little stitch counters and stuff, there was a stack of instructions detailing the whole process and a letter from Jayne’s mom about the hat. The instructions and letter were printed on paper with a Blue Sun watermark. It really is the coolest thing ever and I really do have the most awesome friends ever. Thank you so much, Cameron! You rock!

Now all I have to do is get way better at this knitting thing and I’m all set!

Happy Hanukkah! I am glad you like it. I was afraid you might have already gotten one, and your a cool friend too! I figured you needed an equally cool hat :-)

Long lay the world in sin and error pining…

Via The Sneeze:

Over a week ago I came across this over at The Sneeze. I didn’t post about it then, but I passed it on to a few folks via IM, and it ended up over on mnenyver’s journal, where I was promptly blamed for the pain it caused. This made me grin. Today, though, [...]

I got cat class and I got cat style…

A couple of new Web 2.0 applications have come across my desk in the last few days:

First, thanks to the ever wise Reverend Jim, I am now on Facebook. If you’re there, you can find me here (or with the new Facebook badge in the sidebar). If you’re not on there yet, you should be; [...]
