Today's Ypulse Interview is with Jake Sasseville, 24 year-old host of "Late Night Republic." Jake first flashed on to the Ypulse radar back in 2008 when his earlier Gen Y riff on late night programming "The Edge with Jake Sasseville" debuted on more... Read the rest of this post

Today I put down the knitting needles for a while and just drew yarn instead. It was fun! I haven't done one of these for a while.

This is 5 x 7 done with Polychromos on illustration board. My old standby.

I took inspiration from some of the new yarns I've been knitting with. Things that are varied in width as well as color. I look forward to stretching my "yarn coloring skills" with some wilder ones in the future!

I'll put this in my new etsy shop, soon soon soon, a few days maybe, when I officially launch it. It will be full of all my yarn stuff, both art and knitting. (I also have an "old" etsy shop which is currently empty, which I plan to fill with other kinds of art, but not yarn. Keeping the two "themes" separate seemed like a good idea at the time. We'll see...)

You know you need to get out more when you get a thrill from ripping off a whole NEW big piece of aluminum foil from the roll, rather than using an old sad wrinkled rinsed-and-recycled-and-carefully-folded piece from the drawer. Yes, I did this today. Sad.

My other new thrill (or indulgence is maybe a better description) is eating Pringles in bed while reading at night. I find that inhaling a good stack of them (the plain variety) helps me sleep better and I have nicer dreams. But it has to be Pringles, no other kind of chips. Pringles are kind of creepy, I agree, with their perfectly stacked little selves in that round can, but I love them.

Too much info.

Back to knitting and my other newest addictions, Project Runway and Top Design. India Hicks and that drippy voice, and all the other judges...too much fun.
