Ribbing, BE GONE!
I’ve reached the half-way point of another sock, coming veeerry close to completing the pair. Though I love the result, I will be most happy to be done with the pattern work - 1×1 ribbing is not exactly speedy, and it does tend toward the “extremely maddening” side of the scale. (For those who are interested, (which may be no one) the pattern is Marlene, by Cookie A from the latest knit.1 magazine, and I’m using Dream in Color Smooshy in Black Parade)
I was listening to NPR this morning (Diane Rehm), and caught an interview with David Denby, whose new book claims that snark is killing America (or at least putting an evil twist on dialogue). Is it really so bad that it needs to be treated like an epidemic of verbal disease? Personally, I’m not sure what I would do without my snark time. I’d like to say that I’d exercise more, using all that time I used to spend thinking up snarky bits of goodness as extra time on the treadmill, but that’s a lie. I hate running.
