as a knitter and spinner (funny, huh?) i've learned to value the stash.. tho you don't want it to take over the house, you want to be able to start a new project at will, or.. you know, just fondle the yarn.

i'm finding that after a summer of commuting that the first thing that became clear was that my bike needed to be replaced. done. and then i thought.. what i really need is a rat trap, and a bag for my clothes, and a speedometer, and a light.. and..

geez... don't they make some lovely jerseys these days? and wouldn't it be great if i had those warm pants since the mornings are getting so cool? who knew that my summer gloves would need fingers afterall?

gosh.. these runners of mine are making me look like a newb on the bike path.

well, on saturday i found myself in a bike shop with my visa burning a hole in my wallet, and the cutest buttercream specialized bike calling my name. i honestly, seriously considered it. i started wondering where i'd keep it and how fast it would go? did it have better gearing?

phew.. i left the store.

with a new swag bike rack.

sound familiar?
