Once you reach the end of the yoke for your size, it's a good idea to first work the row where you place your markers for the sleeves, then transfer all your stitches to either waste yarn or a reeeeeeaaaallllly long circular needle and try it on. If you're using waste yarn, just thread a couple yards of scrap yarn onto a blunt yarn needle and slip all of the stitches right onto the waste yarn. If you're using a long circular that's the same sizes as your pattern needles, you can knit that marker placement row right onto the long needle (here's where a set of interchangable needles and a spare extra long cable is very handy).

The yoke should come to your armpits.

Since the fabric can roll up a bit, especially if you have it on a long circular needle as I did (it tends to behave more naturally on waste yarn, when it's not fighting the curl of a cable), and because this particular sweater is fitted, you might want to hold down the edge of the yoke at your pits when you check the fit. I pulled mine down just barely, since I know the fabric will relax just a hair after its bath. Working the whole thing chicken-arms fashion as I'm doing here also lets me try the fit of the shoulders with some action.

This is a bottle inexpensive go to wine for nights like this one where I'm doing nothing much more complicated than baking the Pistachio and Chorizo Cake [1] from David Lebovitz. (It's cooling now and smells amazing.) But I'm not here to tell you about the cake, I'm here to tell you about this silly situation I find myself in at my local market that involves the buying of said wine. We're lucky enough to live really close to a happy natural foods grocery that I end up in most every day picking up ingredients for one thing or another. We tend to buy wine one bottle at a time when we know we'll want it with dinner and happily the market has a small but reliable selection. I don't buy wine every day, but it seems that when I am buying wine I get the same checkout girl. Every single time. If I'm in for some emergency butter she's nowhere to be seen, but if I have a cart full of groceries and a bottle of wine it's hilariously inevitable that I'll end up in her line. I've become hyper aware of this and it's made my Raised Catholic Shame kick into overdrive. She's lovely and friendly and I'm sure completely unaware of me, but still I cringe a bit when I find myself once again buying booze in her checkout aisle. I have not seen her in the store in weeks but tonight my haul of no-preservatives chorizo, unsalted pistachios, organic dried tomatoes and sesame seeds from the bulk aisle included some table wine and guess whose checkout line I found myself in?

Also seen in the frame are my iPhone and the trusty Jambox [2] speaker that I've come to adore because it lets me hear things over the noise of washing dishes. It's sturdy and has rubberized top and bottom surfaces, it's wireless and connects to your music source with Bluetooth, and has a recharegable battery. I carry it around the kitchen with me and couldn't like it more. We have Gray Hex [3] but I sort of wanted the Red Dot [4], except our kitchen is filled with orange accents and I fear I'm not the sort that can pull together orange and red.

(disclosure: Just above are some Amazon Affiliate links, which means a small percentage is sent my way if you just happen to buy the speaker after checking it out. The money helps cover hosting costs for this here website. No pressure, you know.)

This is the mural I stare at while I'm waiting for the Light Rail to arrive. For some reason the thing I focus on first is always Alice juxtaposed with the rice cooker. Something about the rushed worry next to a quiet kitchen appliance makes me giggle. My camera does that face detection thing and I'm happy to tell you it only recognized Dr. Frankenfurter Elizabeth Taylor there as a human.

I'm really loving these origami critters made and designed by Uruguayan artist Rom�n D�az.

Of the fox, he writes:

[She] is made from folds mostly at 22.5 angles and a CP [crease pattern] ... that comfortably conveys almost 100% of the folds in the model. That mean she has very few finishing touches and every thing *has* to be done through actual straight line folds. A contradiction with the 'interpretation' of origami?

This deliciously simply Quiche Lorraine features one of my favorite spring seasonal vegetables - leeks! I love their mild onion flavor and look forward to featuring them in recipes. If you'd like to learn more about spring produce, check out the Spring Produce Guide.

Quiche is perfect for Easter, Mother's Day, or other spring celebrations. I especially like how versatile quiche is, because it works well for any meal - breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Serve this with a side salad, such as a strawberry spinach salad, to feature more beautiful spring produce.

I want to give big congratulations to both Alice Bradley [2] and Eden M. Kennedy [3] because their book, Let's Panic About Babies! [4] How to Endure and Possibly Triumph Over the Adorable Tyrant Who Will Ruin Your Body, Destroy You Life, Liquefy Your Brain, and Finally Turn You into a Worthwhile Human Being comes out today! I had the pleasure of meeting them both at the Broad Summit a few years ago where they announced they'd just gotten a book deal so it's extra exciting to get to hold the book in my hands. They are both hilarious women who have written a hilarious book. The kind people at St. Martin's Press have given me five copies to give away as well as a "Panic Break" gift basket which includes an electric "back" massager, a stress ball, an anti-stress bath soak, a meditation CD, Anne Taintor shot glasses, a Subversive Cross Stitch set and of course, the book!

I'll be lazy and quote the back cover instead of attempting just tell you how funny the book is:

Babies. Maybe you're thinking of having one. There might even be one inside you right now, draining nutrients from your system via a tube growing from its midsection. Or maybe you've already got one around the house, somewhere, and you're responsible for its continued survival. You're saddled with a a helpless being whom you've agreed to house and feed and love with all your heart for the rest of your life, more or less.

Either way, you're confused, you're frightened, and 911 won't take your calls anymore. But don't despair! Let's Panic About Babies! is here to hold your hand and answer some important, age-old baby-related questions, including:

How can I be sure I'm pregnant? (Torso swells gradually until baby falls into underpants.)
Did I just pee myself? (Yes.)
What happens if I have sex curing my pregnancy? (Your baby will be born with a full, lush beard.)
How can I tell if I've chosen the wrong pediatrician? (He/she can't pronounce "stethoscope.")
How do I make sure my baby loves me back? (Voodoo.)

From the moment they're created until the day they steal our cars, our babies demand center stage in our lives. So join Alice and Eden as they tell you (and your lucky partner!) exactly what to think and feel and do, from morning sickness to baby's first steps. They know everything!

Ok, if you'd like to enter to win a copy or the fabulous gift basket please leave a comment with this post. The fine print [5] applies, and with my deep apologies I have to tell you that prizes can only be sent to the US or Canadian addresses. I'll let the Random Number Generator choose the winners at noon, PST on Friday, March 4th. Good luck!

Done! Congratulations to Angela, Jenn, Sarah, Eugenia, Wylie and Patti!

Whenever I bake I end up making last minute trips to the grocery store for one ingredient or the other. This time my dough for the Jar of Stars [1] needed to rest over night and in order to get it made I needed to make a late night trip. While there this packaging for something else entirely caught my (tired) eye.

daily photo thing update: Today I'm finally posting a backlog of photos all at once and renaming them "almost daily photo" because I'm no good at keeping up with stuff and, as it turns out, I'm really not good at keeping up with stuff when I've put a set of artificial rules on myself. So I'll try to post a photo a day but if I'm busy or got nothing I won't. I mean, I don't want to start resenting my own self, right?

I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies [1] from the NY Times recipe that everybody was going crazy over a few years ago, myself included [2]. Despite weighing all the ingredients I appear to have halved the flour or doubled the butter or something because this batch spreads like crazy. Is there a way to add more flour to cookie dough once the chocolate chips are are mixed in? I'm assuming not since the new flour wouldn't be coated in butter the way it's supposed to, and there would be a lot of overmixing of the flour. Oh well, these are yummy but not very pretty. Here I've scooped them onto a cookie sheet to freeze individually so I can bake one or two at a time.

I'm deciding which vacuum to buy (ours is, well, sad) and I ended up making myself a chart to help me sort out which one I wanted. Shown here are three of my favorite tools for chart making: an Apex mechanical pencil which is nice and sturdy, has clicky action that lets the lead out bit by bit and a nice eraser that you can twist up and down; a pencil shaped eraser from Muji, I adore these; and MAC Lipglass, a new favorite discovery. The vacuum choice is coming down to which color I like best, even I am rolling my eyes at myself over this one.

Today we posted up Katie Goodman's beautiful recipe for Quiche Lorraine. Now take a look at her worst kitchen disaster posted on her food blog, Good Life Eats. So many of us are used to her amazing recipes and mouth-watering photos that we probably she's impervious to something like this. I like these humbling stories because you know we all have experienced something like this. You too can share with her your worst kitchen disaster and enter a chance to win a great Mother's Day gift set.

This deliciously simply Quiche Lorraine features one of my favorite spring seasonal vegetables - leeks! I love their mild onion flavor and look forward to featuring them in recipes. If you'd like to learn more about spring produce, check out the Spring Produce Guide.

Quiche is perfect for Easter, Mother's Day, or other spring celebrations. I especially like how versatile quiche is, because it works well for any meal - breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Serve this with a side salad, such as a strawberry spinach salad, to feature more beautiful spring produce.

I have a thing for traditional pysanky, the wax-resist Easter egg style from the Ukraine, but when I was browsing through Etsy for some inspiration, I stumbled across I really like these minimalist pysanky from Etsy seller Pysanky Panky. (She also has many more classic eggs as well.)

Create these sweet, upcycled barrettes to go with your Easter dress.
By Tiffany Threadgould

Looking for a sweet way to show off your upcycling style this Easter season? This year's best accessory is something that you were about to throw away. In this project, I'll show you how to dress up your Sunday best with this fun candy wrapper project. Start collecting those Cadbury candy and gum wrappers and you'll turn your Sour Patch into a sweet fashion accessory!

If you find yourself with more candy wrappers than you can upcycle on your own, sign up for TerraCycle's candy wrapper brigade. We'll not only upcycle them into new products, we'll also donate money to your favorite charity.

Today we went to the Emerald City Comicon [1] and R2D2 came over to say hi. This robot was very impressive, it chirped and whistled at us and even appeared to have Tatooine dust on it. The guy controlling it was sitting very nonchalantly off to one side and hid the controller behind a newspaper. It was really fun to watch the kids who came through go a little crazy with joy.

It's been very gloomy the last few days. So gloomy even the willow branches somebody lovingly put in a planter outside the post office manage to look nothing but wet and cold. Willow branches should not look foreboding.

Design21 has an exciting textile and product design competition happening now called, "Weaving Love, Creating Hope." The challenge has two categories in which to submit: textile design and product design that can be seen as a symbol of hope. The winning entries will be produced and sold by Grameen Felissimo, benefitting the local markets and communities of Bangladesh through employment and economic independence. Winners will also each receive US $3,000. The deadline to enter is April 21st.

From the site:

This challenge is built on the Grameen check, fabric born of Bangladesh with local resources and skills. Woven in cotton, it is mostly produced in the poorest region of the country with a hope of economic independence. To commemorate the birth of the first Grameen Felissimo project, we invite you to help us create a beautiful symbol of Hope in the design of a brand new check pattern. This challenge is intended to bring the power of design into action, by injecting an element of excitement to the product line and thereby expanding their market outside their own village and country.
