Sock Monkeys! Just for the record, I no longer express myself politically by not sewing. I’m pleased to report that last night GC and I finished sewing our sock monkeys. (They’re not actually joined at the hip, they just look that way.)
GC fixing my sock Mending’s another matter though. I don’t mend and […] After posting about the feminist blog awards the other day, I found myself wondering if there was a defining moment when I became a feminist. I think it was more of a process than a moment, which was kick-started when my mother re-married and moved us from the city to the country. But the […] My blog got nominated for an F-word award!

Officer Post: The Bank Street Bully I called the Ottawa Police the other day to request a status update on the investigation into the Bank Street Bully incident in December. The investigating officer told me, in essence, that the investigation by the Professional Standards Section has gone nowhere and will be closed soon. The unconscious […] I had intended to write a post last week introducing the new banner/masthead at the top of Knitnut.net, and asking for your feedback.
