Facebook & Ravelry, reprise

Well, Paul and I both deleted our accounts on Facebook. Our experiment lasted only 6 days. As I tried to leave, Facebook told me all 12 of my friends would miss me. But I doubt it. I felt like my brain was cluttered all the time with the useless information being shown me.

Ravelry, on the other hand still has my interest. I even went so far as to buy a Ravelry T-shirt, which I plan to wear to Stitches West in a couple of weeks.

I did a bit of beading the last couple of days. This afternoon I set my room up for machine quilting again. Now my room is cluttered, but my brain is back to normal.

Some of you are enjoying the Superbowl while I quilt. I heard on the BBC today that the NY Times did a study of Superbowl timing, and concluded that there are only 12 minutes of actual play (movement of men and ball) during the 1-hour game that takes 4 to 4-5 hours to play!

I finished the Triinu Scarf from the book Knitted Lace of Estonia a night or two ago. I tried nupps for the first time – it was less scary than I thought. More on that when I get it blocked. Since my fingers immediately needed something to do, I began a kit I bought up in Alaska, of hand-painted quiviut yarn. It’s soft, like alpaca.
