in lieu of actual knitting content

I give you photos.

My Wollmeise stash as it stands after scoring two skeins in last week's Loopy Ewe update:



So prettttty.

And this is from yesterday.



PAX East, a video game convention, is going on here in Boston. Which means the city is currently overrun by geeks, a very good thing in my opinion. And while I'm not a gamer, I am most definitely a geek. So when a friend of mine going to the convention planned a knitting get-together for convention-goers I decided to tag along. So I spent a few hours knitting and chatting with my fellow geek girls, eating cookies, looking at costumes, and generally having fun. And the girl next to me was crocheting a D20, hence the picture above.

And here's the finished D20, too.



Dear geeks, you are always welcome back.

There are more things done, but those will have to wait until it's closer to the arrival of those little ones!
