Steal This Sweater

On my daily Stitch 'n' Bitch calendar yesterday they had an item about Steal This Sweater, a site by an LA artist who knits (primarily using a knitting machine) funky radical sweaters with all kinds of writing and pictures on them. The images are worth checking out. Pretty wild.

The kids and I went to Berkeley yesterday to see Julia on her brief U.S. tour. It was fun. We enjoyed a bit of basketball at Albany High School. They are tearing up the baseball fields there, for what purpose I am uncertain. Douglas got to see some cheerleaders practicing, always a popular activity for him.

Poor Dan got home at 1:30 last night. Too much work. August looks to be pretty crazy. There is still no state budget, despite rumors flying for months now that it would pass any day. The Assembly passed an unacceptable bill with some egregious errors in it and then up and went on recess before they had worked out a deal with the Senate, so that caused some major holdups.
