Hi folks.
It has been a crazy few weeks here in Jenn’s world, with upheaval galore. Most of it is work related, and I am still trying to figure out the new landscape, since the changes that happened ended up very different than the changes I was expecting at the end of December. Mostly, it’s just meant I’ve been spending even more time inside my head, thinking, pondering, turning things over (and over and over and over).
Breaking blog silence to note that today is the anniversary of one of the interesting, quirky stories of Boston history – the Molasses Flood. I remember the first time I heard about it, and it just made me giggle – how scary could a flood of molasses (in January, no less!) really be? It turns out, very scary indeed, and when you see the pictures of it, you start to realize that this was no joke. That’s an elevated train line, knocked over by the flood.

I’ve been knitting like a fiend, with three different projects going (at least? no, actually, I think it’s four…*counts in head* yes, four.) My favorite right now is the half of a BFF cowl that I am making for a swap with some of my Ravelry friends. I splurged on Swan Island merino for it, and it is lovely to work with. The pattern is easy enough to remember without having the chart handy, but interesting enough to keep me entranced with it. There is little better for happiness making than a knitting project that’s really enjoyable.
Isn’t she just lovely?
