		<title>Gonna set your fish on fire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Google announced that they&#8217;ve added bicycling directions to Google Maps.  This is tremendous news for everyone in the biking community&#8230; and it couldn&#8217;t have come at a better time: spring!  The past few days have been incredibly mild here in New York City and everyone has been taking their bicycles out of storage.  (I [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve been here so long, I think that it&#8217;s time to move</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I tried to make a loaf of banana nut bread.  It didn&#8217;t turn out so well.  (I ended up throwing out the ceramic dish along with the half-baked batter&#8230; because I dropped it and it shattered. D&#8217;oh.)  So I decided to prove to myself that I am not a completely incompetent baker so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a blending quality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aaaand it&#8217;s finally finished!

(That hat she&#8217;s wearing?  I also made it!  Back in December, when I was still a n00b. A bigger n00b than I am now, I mean.)
I&#8217;m so glad that the vest actually turned out well.  I was worried that it would be too big or too long or too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Give me back my broken parts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am thisclose to finishing my sister&#8217;s vest:

All that&#8217;s left is some seaming under the armholes (approximately 1.5&#8243; under each arm) and ribbing around the neckline and the armholes.  Unfortunately for me, I can&#8217;t seem to get the hang of the mattress stitch (which makes an invisible side seam).  This is frustrating because I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s snowstorm in NYC was blown way out of proportion.  Yes, it snowed.  It snowed a lot.  But it was nothing when compared to the blizzard of 1996, where snow accumulation reached 30 inches in some areas.  The snowstorm we experienced yesterday was nowhere near a blizzard — the greatest amount of snow fell in [...]]]></description>

		<title>How many lifetimes does it take to live in the present day?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of course, after bragging about all of my knitting adventures, I went and messed up that vest I mentioned last time.  My first mistake was accidentally throwing off the stitches in half the vest&#8217;s circumference.  However, I compensated for that error by adding a stitch (or two) and hoping that my sister wouldn&#8217;t notice the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As can be seen by my previous posts (and my Ravelry projects page), I&#8217;ve grown somewhat obsessed with knitting.  In the span of two months, I&#8217;ve knit nine hats (one of which was unsuccessful) and six scarves (two of which were flops).  I&#8217;m also currently in the middle of two projects: a pair [...]]]></description>

		<title>We looked like giants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, after drying for over 24 hours, the slouchy beret I knitted on January 3rd was finally ready!

The cables are messed up because I am still very new to cables and knitting in the round.  (The stitches on my 4 double-pointed needles kept shifting.  I started off with 14 stitches on each needle but, [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s plenty of space out in space!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, when I can&#8217;t find anything good to eat for breakfast, I make muffins! The best muffins I&#8217;ve ever made were orange cranberry muffins that I adapted from Noelle Miles Griggs&#8217;s Lemon Cranberry Muffins recipe on Allrecipes. Here&#8217;s what I use:
Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
¾ cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kiss me at midnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the new year is upon us (2010? seriously?), I&#8217;ve compiled a small list of things that I want to accomplish by December 31 (in no particular order):

Knit more! I really need to learn how to knit in the round (maybe consider buying circular needles) and work on the various increases/decreases.  I also just [...]]]></description>
