This is Dani Smith

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne.  I am a writer in Texas.  I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies.  I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate.  I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough.  Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.  

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas.  If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing.  Don’t be a stealer.  Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Progress at the Flame

    Posted on DateFriday, August 8, 2008 at 6:57PM

    At 7:00 a.m. GMT -5 (my local time), when the Olympic Opening Ceremonies began in Beijing, I was sleeping.  Partner Sweater had one completed sleeve and one 4-inch sleeve nubbin.  

    At 6:30 pm. GMT -5, when the Olympic Opening Ceremonies began on our local NBC affiliate, that second sleeve was this long:
    If you embiggen the photo, you’ll see that I’ve just a bit over 13 inches there.  I had to slow down today.  No more than 15 minutes of knitting at a stretch, with at least a half an hour rest in between.  I’m working to stave off long-term knitting injury here.  Liberal icing has also occurred.  
    There will be more knitting tonight.  And there is the slimmest chance of finishing before I go to bed.  Maybe.  
    Peeking out of the pocket is the next project.  Stealth Project I, a felted lovely made with one of my favorite stand-by yarns, Patons Classic Wool.  They call that color Leaf Green, but it looks a bit like overcooked pea soup to me.
