Commuting PSA -- Red Line
Jul. 15th, 2008 08:14 amThe MBTA is busing between Kendall Square and Park St. stations on the Red Line this morning due to a disabled train on the Longfellow Bridge.
Please allow extra time, as they're turning trains around at Kendall and holding trains at Harvard and Central to allow for the turnaround time.
I arrived at Harvard station this morning at 7:15 and got to work at 7:45. This is usually a 10-minute trip at most.

A Knitting Grrrrrr
Jul. 15th, 2008 01:40 pmDear Boston-Area Yarn Shops,
There is no reason that you should not carry size 2 circular needles in bamboo. People *do* actually use them, and some of us have a marked preference for bamboo needles. I *know* I can get (relatively) inexpensive metal ones. If I *wanted* metal, I'd be *asking* for metal. But I want bamboo or some other wood. Only one of the three stores I called even carries size 2s, and they're out.
Yes, I can do my project on double-pointeds. I know that. It doesn't change the fact that what I *want* is the circular.
No love,
The cranky knitter
