What trauma had so badly afflicted that poor person, and why could it only be expressed in wool? Sadly, that blog is no more. Some of those terrible patterns appear in this slideshow , though, so we can all still savour them. Dear me, that balaclava.
I bought a new lawnmower over the weekend. That is the sum total of excitement happening here right now. Well, no. The excitement was probably when the blade sheared itself off the bottom of the old lawnmower, thus rendering it completely cactus, as they say. But I never liked the old lawnmower, so I wasn't terribly saddened by its loss. It was an electric lawnmower I inherited from my mother, and I did not enjoy being constrained by an extension cord. It was like mowing on a leash. Sometimes you just want to run free with your lawnmower, you know? My new mower is battery-operated and it looks like it's made of Lego, but it can do my lawn and the strip out the front and still have some charge left in the battery, and that's all I ask.
