Did you hear this?

I've just become a huge fan! Mostly of this song (though not as done by Tears for Fears--sorry guys), and also of Adam Lambert. For those of you who watched American Idol last night. He was the last performer, and definitely stole the show. Now I can't get Mad World out of my head.

For Danika

My current crochet project. Imagine this in 12 connected squares... w/o the hook in the middle. Retroness for sure. Sorry the picture's so dark.

And this little diddy is what I just completed a month or so ago. Cutest, most simple neck scarf you'll ever knit. Thanks Martha.
