This Week's Goal

This week's goal is to finally finish this ...

An Irish Hiking Scarf. It's been on the needles since the Spring. I'm not quite sure why it's lingering in my knitting bag. The yarn is delightful (Louisa Harding's Kashmir Aran), the pattern is very simple and I'm extremely fond of the person I'm knitting it for. I have one ball and a bit left to knit and then it will be finished. No fringe. I'm of the mind that men's scarves shouldn't be fringed.


Proving that there's a publishing market for just about any subject, we have my current reading material. A book on the recommended diet for male goats who no longer have their little dingleballs. That's it. That's the entire book. I am now an expert on the calcium - phosphorus ratio of a multitude of types of hay. I am familiar with symptoms of mineral definciences in young goats. Are your hooves deformed? Well you need more Zinc. And don't forget that wheat germ oil is a good Spring tonic! All this and more for only $16.95.

Finally, if anyone could explain to me why NBC is airing repeats of LAST SEASON'S Law & Order CI and SVU when we're not even a month into the new season, I'd really appreciate it.
