I really have very little to talk about today, so here are some random links to keep you entertained:

Like, this great analysis by Anthony Bourdain of the current chefs on the Food Network.

And Julia wrote out her rationale for the Create-along’s yarn limitations, which we were discussing the other day. I admit I’m still not sold on its being necessary, but appreciate that she had good, clear reasons for the decision–that always makes me happy, especially when it’s on an issue that I disagree with. So much better than, "Because!" I DO definitely agree that designing in the face of certain limitations is normal if not helpful–just like tossing together a dinner out of leftovers can be so much more creative than simply going to the grocery store and buying exactly what you need to follow a specific recipe–where’s the creativity in that?

And anyway, it’s not like it makes me feel specifically excluded, just ever so faintly nose-to-the-candy-store-window-ish. But I suppose that’s as much my fault for not wanting to go buy the qualifying yarns, right? (Not to mention that more than half of them are cotton–ick!) (Well, to be clear, I love cotton, but I don’t, as a rule, like knitting with it, and don’t even like wearing purchased cotton sweaters, so . . . no temptation to go running out to buy cotton yarn, you know?)

Meantime, Marnie posted a great tutorial on using Excel for planning color-work, which I thought was very helpful and well worth hanging onto for future reference.

For that matter, Mim wrote about her lace-designing inspiration….

I’m looking forward to part three of Grey’s Anatomy tonight. Did you hear that they’re going to spin off Addison into her own show? I do love option "A" of these "suggested" titles . . . Montgomery’s Ward just cracks me up. Still, I’m going to miss her character–somebody said she’s the only one who occasionally acts like an adult around that hospital, and I appreciate that! If I ever finish spinning all that pretty greyish-purple merino/silk roving of mine, maybe I can even join the Greys’ KAL one of these days.

And, that’s about it for me for now! Not even any pictures of my cute little boy . . .

. . . What’s that?

. . . Well, okay, if you really WANT one . . .

But let’s make it an old one . . . because who can resist that little 3-month old face??
