looking as cool as a Fisher & Paykel

My office has recently had a makeover. Wanna see?



What, it doesn't look so different from the last time, except significantly messier? Well, you're not paying attention, then.



Every good office should have a ukulele. [and a Pee-Wee bobblehead and a set of 3 Serenity action figures including Captain Tightpants in said pants and Jayne with a bigass gun].

But wait -- here's the best thing. Did I buy this $14.95 custom-designed hanger to get my uke out of oops-i-just-sat-on-my-uke range?



No. I went to Rona and bought this, except smaller and in grey:


For 80 cents. What the hell costs 80 cents anymore? Not even a pack of gum. I feel quite clever.

Also! The Knitty Calendar Contest ends tomorrow night at midnight! Have you sent in your entry yet? You know you want to.

i don't know why i've lurked on your blog for so long and chose NOW to comment, but basically i just loved seeing a picture of your office. something about seeing that knitty comes from a "lived in" room with yarn all over the walls, a uke, bobble heads and a cluttered desk... it made me smile.

I do love a practical knitter! Way to go on the uke hanger.

It looks like a very inspirational studio. A person just has to be creative there.

Many coolness points for the uke hanger.

And I will work very hard to suppress my Mal & Jayne action figure and Peewee bobblehead envy. (Been working on not cluttering my life with the seven deadlys.)

For 80 cents, I would have purchased several...just in case. I am from NJ originally and need help learning to knit...can you offer any suggestions as to where to begin? Thanks and I love your blog. Too bad you are going to Norway instead of Sweden!

I just giggled out loud at the mention of Captain Tightpants. Now I'm going to find my Firefly DVDs and watch the Captain in action. :D

Completely random, I know.
