		<title>In Praise of Cookie A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently completed these Marlene socks for Z. I&#8217;m not sure how many pairs I&#8217;ve knit for Z at this point, but the number is probably near ten (I would count, but my 15-month old daughter likes to empty Z&#8217;s sock drawer every morning, and we haven&#8217;t put all the socks away yet today). A [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Shameless Self-Promotion</title>

		<title>There Goes My Savings!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I was out for dinner with some friends, and the subject of that old TV show Babylon 5 came up. I hadn&#8217;t seen it, so I asked one of my friends for a quick recap. He provided the general premise, but he was vague about some of the specifics. There was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh, Darn!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, now that I&#8217;ve abused the word darn for the title of this post by making the most overused joke in the fiber arts, I&#8217;ve decided to look it up. I&#8217;m too lazy to haul out my Oxford English Dictionary (1929 edition), so I&#8217;m going to use the dictionary that comes with my computer: darn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joining the Ranks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A year ago this November, I joined two new clubs: 1. Parents 2. Parents of twins True, group #2 is really a subset of group #1, but having multiple babies at the same time is so much its own crazy universe that one can really feel like one has left the regular one. But this [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Color Purple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no doubt that the biggest reason for the three months of silence is little Ms. M and little Mr. S, who are now a year old (!!!) and will soon fit into the Angle sweaters that Z and I knit for them . . . oh, a year and a half ago. I thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Second Life of Halfdome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the patterns I&#8217;ve had published on knitty, the most popular, by far, is Danica. There are 1097 Danicas completed or in progress on Ravelry, and who knows how many out in the real world. (This sort of blows my mind, since Danica is really just a simple entrelac pattern, and I certainly did not [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Letter To Interweave Knits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Copyright © Interweave Knits Dear Interweave Knits, I&#8217;m a really big fan of yours.  You&#8217;ve published some of my favorite patterns ever. The list is too long to get into here, so for now I&#8217;ll say that I&#8217;m particularly enamored of your summer 2006 issue. It contains the Mommy Snug, with which I knit for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Help From My Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a teenager, my route into the house after school was around the back, across the deck, and through the sliding door. One day, I came home to find  a rope strung across the entrance to the deck. I didn&#8217;t feel like walking all the way back around to the front of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>From The Department of Official Retractions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not too big on advertising. In any form. I don&#8217;t even like that my pants come with tags on the outside, which amounts to free advertising for whichever clothing company was lucky enough to get my dollar. (It&#8217;s actually worse than free advertising. After all, I paid them.) I only own three t-shirts with [...]]]></description>
