No knitting going on here...



I purposefully left my yarn at home to give my wrists a rest and stave off my impending carpal tunnel syndrome. Plus, who can think of wool when you're on the Riviera Maya?



I got to see a rainbow over the Mayan ruins at Tulum today. That was pretty cool.



And that's what I'm reading on the beach, Roberto Bolano's "2666." It's supposed to be an amazing work of literature. I'm on page 60 of 893, so I've got a ways to go before I can give my own opinion.

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve! Here's to 2009!

On a kick

I'm on a fingerless gloves kick. Some knitters call them wristwarmers. I just like them because they're so fast to knit.

Here are some silk garden ones:



And some kureyon twisted-rib ones:



I even managed to sell both these pairs without trying -- the blue ones went to a coworker and K is snagging the twisted-rib ones.

Man, do I need a new camera. I destroyed my ancient digital camera at a friend's wedding in August, and I've been relying on my iPhone and computer's iSight camera for picture-taking. I do love those two pieces of technology, but they don't offer a lot of photographic power. Hopefully Santa will hear my plea...

Oh, and Steven Colbert highlighted the dangers of needle-wielding terrorists on his show last night. Gotta love him:
