Shameless Marketing

Maybe I'll find new incentive to post more often!

I'm selling a Brother knitting machine on eBay right now:


I bought it a while back - and I was as excited as a kid could get - only I like hand knitting too much.

My future repetitive stress injury and carpel tunnel is your gain!

Time For My Annual Update

Seriously - I hang my head in shame.

But hey - enough of that.

I'm still obsessed with bikes and yarn -  I've changed up the blog just a little bit.

I'm still in Michigan - it's pretty obvious - and I'm probably more okay with the idea - I'm going to be here for a while.

Last year I started volunteering at the Lansing Bicycle Co-op (someone remind me to post a link). You'll find me there every Saturday - but the first Saturday of every month is reserved for our Ladies Day: FTW.

Another bike related thing is I took a vacation to the PNW to visit a friend in Seattle. While I was out there, I went down to Portland for two weeks to attend the Proffessional Bicycle Mechanics class at the United Bicycle Institute. It was my first time in that part of the country and I'm in love. I might be settling in Michigan, but I'm trying to make trips out there a regular thing.

I'm headed back to Seattle again, and visiting Portland to take the wheelbuilding course for the DT Swiss certification.

While I'm visiting my friend in Seattle, we're heading up to Orcas Island for hanging out with farm animals and a solo ride around the island.

Words, words, words... well, this post feels a bit disjointed (even by my standards). Hope I'll get back in the habit of updating this blog. I'm working on new stuff - there's definitely going to be things to share.
