Memes.
They are lovely and make for excellent blog filler but I am bad at them. RC tagged me 10 days ago and I am just now meme'ing. Better late than never, right? This meme instructs the participants to "open the book(s) you're currently reading to page 161 and read the fifth sentence on the page, then think of 5 bloggers to tag with."
Current reading with 161 or more pages...
"Hurry inside and lock the door?"
- from Less is More: How Great Companies Use Productivity by Jason Jennings:
"They explain how things work: 'When we get a new member on our team, they get ninety days to make it.'"
"The secret videotaping in that case was done as a part of an undercover investigative report on 'telepsychics' by a television reporter in a workplace with low, open cubicles where conversations could easily be overheard by anyone in the room."
- from Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen:
"By late morning, I'm just another menagerie man: cleaning dens, chopping food, and hauling manure with the rest of them."
So that's it for current reading. I'm not tagging 5 people - I'm tagging everyone. If you read this post and want to meme along, please do so. And leave me a comment so I can read yours, too.
On the Knitting Front: All Sweaters, All the Time
Tiny sweaters, tiny sweaters everywhere.
I've done the figuring. I need 14 for my family's Thanksgiving at my parents' house, which I will (sadly) not be attending. I need 11 for Thanksgiving at my mother-in-laws, where I will be spending the holiday. I need 2 to send to Tegan and her roommate and I need 3 more for something else. That makes 30. Technically the 3 spares don't have to be done by Thanksgiving (technically they don't have to be done at all) but if I'm going to do them, I'd like to get them all finished before November 21.
The photo above was taken when I had 12 sweaters complete (though only 11 made the picture.) The one below is number 9. Blue Misti Alpaca Pima Cotton Silk, leftover from Kim's ISE scarf, held together with some furry fluffy something that was hanging out in the yarn bin. Very soft.
When I'm all done knitting the sweaters, I'll post pictures of all of them individually (or at least in small groups.) It will be a veritable sweater parade.

Holy crap, that's a lot of adorable little sweaters! Are you giving them as Christmas tree ornaments or as egg cozies? (And also, are you using the egg cozy pattern from Weekend Knits?)
