Some days...

Some days I wish I had an extra set of arms so that I could knit while working in lab or brushing my teeth, things like that.  Despite my multitasking limitations I've still been making progress on some projects.

I'm really enjoying Winifred, on a whim I've decided to start the sleeves before finishing the rest of the body.  I don't complain when I'm actually in a mood to knit sleeves.  I don't say this often, but I can definitely imagine myself knitting another (perhaps in green?).


Now I have a question for you all: how do you clean a sweater that has some advanced pilling?


As you can hopefully see, this merino/silk blend is beginning to pill like crazy!  I really want to clean this sweater but I'm afraid of completely ruining it!  As one of my favorites, this would be a huge loss to me.  Any suggestions?

Now I must delve back in the the world of G-coupled receptors, not all of us can afford to laze around like a certain someone I know:


I really enjoyed reading comments from last post on kitchen appliances!  I definitely need a blender and Marie suggested an attachment for my Kitchen-Aid mixer that can work as a food processor to a certain extent.

Also, Lisa has heard me go on and on about this, but if you are looking for a good movie, you must go see Silver Linings Playbook.  I'm usually very picky when it comes to movies and dislike most fluffy romantic movies, but I would go so far as to say that this was the best film of 2012.  It was surprisingly deep and meaningful for what I lovingly labeled a "pseudo-indie" film and the emotion (excellent casting!) and subject really connected for me.
