Bits and bobs

I've only been knitting small things lately, although there are larger projects brewing in my head. The most recent work is a pair of ribbed bed socks in Keesmere. See, despite the new furnace, I still don't heat the house very much, and shoving bare feet between a comforter and a futon can suck the warmth right out of them. At any rate, It certainly makes me understand the colonial bed warming pan and the British hot water bottle! The other knitting is just a mind-numbing swatch to weigh and estimate yarn usage for a pattern that needs to be sized up.

Oh, for fun and good works: I've gotten hooked on FreeRice. It's a website set up to donate 20 grains of rice for every correct [English] vocabulary word you pick. So far, my word geekiness has managed 2500 to 3000 grains a day. This is much more fun than the charity sites which accumulate funds by the single click!
