A peek at my SewIKnit bag, and another mommy softie

I bought my sock yarn today for the Knitters' Tea Swap!
I'll be waiting until I get an email for the tea and treats.

Below, Willow checks out the bag I was working on this morning.

She thought I should have been making her a pillow... see other pic below.

Where's Willowpede?
She was here a second ago...
Sally-Mander starts to wake up
and realize she is missing all the fun.

I'm in a bad code-funk today. I need a coding teddybear, that I can put sunglasses on and tell him all the problems that I'm trying to work out. I'll name him Bob. He will have all the answers. His cool collected sunglassed stare will tell me the secrets of the universe.. or at least of Python. (J says this is paraphrased from his 'C Unleased' book) -- He says I need a 'Bob', quick, because he (J) doesn't know Python and it hurts his brain when I bounce these questions off of him ;o)

For another possible source of this reference to sunglassed teddybears -- look at the end of this post by Peter Bartal.

Rant

---

Thing that bugs me: 'Inside-Out' seaming on toys -- even if its neat, even if it looks 'kinda cool'... it bugs me. You might have seen it in lots of popular places -- like wearing sweatshirts inside-out was cool for a while in high school.

What bugs me is that object is just screaming 'I'm gonna fall apart, you just watch!' If you do exterior seaming on your project and the recipient likes it, well.. okay -- but all of my seams are going to be neat and right-side in.

And that was a little KnitOwl rant.. which I'm probably going to get an earful on ;o)
