Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    Garter Yoke Cardigan

    This is what I have been working on the past month, the Garter Yoke Cardigan from the Winter Knit1 magazine. I made it with some Cotton Ease that I had in the stash. I really like how it turned out. It’s very roomy. I’m used to wearing sweaters with a bit of negative ease but It’s refreshing to wear something with a bit of ease for a change. It will be great for Summer. Cotton that doesn’t hug too much=no overheating. I’m not sure, looking at the picture, that I like how I look in it. Maybe it’s just because I hate how I look in pictures. But it feels good, so whatev.

    Not much else to say about that. Didn’t do any mods or anything. So there you go. Here’s the Rav page for the details.

  • President Obama on YouTube

    February 15, 2009

    I have yet to jump on the Youtube bandwagon. However, I just bought an iPod Touch and thought I check out the built in YouTube application. I noticed that one of the most watched videos was President Obama’s weekly video address. How freaking awesome is this? Obama is doing a weekly address on YouTube. I love it! I imagine Roosevelt had the same idea with his “Fireside Chats.” Just another reason why I really like Obama. I like that he is trying to connect with people where they’re at.

    sunset at Seabright with Cold Tone effect

    February 13, 2009

    There was the most AMAZING sunset at our old beach, Seabright when we were down visiting. I think I took a hundred pictures of it.

    I downloaded a trial version of Lightroom and used one of it’s pre-packaged effects on this one. I liked the way it turned out. My trial is over and i am really missing it. I guess I need to pony up the cash for it!

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Big Sur Fishermen

    February 6, 2009

    I took a bunch of pictures on our trip that I would like to post on the blog. So I think I will post one a day or one every few days.

    This was taken on the Saturday before we left to come back to Spokane. We went down to Big Sur to one of our favorite (and not favorite) hiking places, Garrapata State Park (here is another weird story from that place). The trails along the ocean are stunning. There are views of the rocky coastline and it’s just breathtaking.

    Here are some Fisherman on a cliff. I thought they were very brave out there. These cliffs are dangerous.
