In this installment of Social Knitworking Nuggets:
While some people are preparing for the coming zombiepocalypse, I’m preparing for living in a world under the mechanical thumbs of our robot overlords. It’s also Back to School season, and although I’m not attending classes this year, I have a great fondness for stationery and desk accessories. Enter the greatest pencil sharpener in the world!
I picked this up at The Paper Source in Alexandria, Virginia. However, I’ve also seen it available online at Think Geek.

In this installment of Social Knitworking Nuggets:
The weekend before last, we had our monthly Church of the Blankie meet-up. Our host happened to be fostering a two-week-old kitten just for that weekend, while the kitten’s official foster family was away on vacation. Yeah, we’re as crazy about kittens as we are dogs. Needless to say, we were terribly distracted every time we went into the bathroom. Kitten in the bathtub!
Here we have Connie playing with her.
