knit-tastic; hail to old KU

We're both working on our knitting lately, and have both completed our scarves, which is a good thing, considering we had to walk about a mile and a half to get to the KU vs MU game today . . . final score? KU 79, Mizzou 46--yeah, that's right

We went a little early, to enjoy the new KU sports hall of fame. It was pretty cool--tons of memorabilia, trophies, Wilt Chamberlain's letter jacket . . . unfortunately, a couple thousand other people also went early to take a look before tipoff . . . kind of crowded, though we did get one pretty good picture:

in the house today: Kirk Hinrich and behind him (not looking across the Fieldhouse at my camera, alas) Wayne Simien

The game was a blowout, but pretty entertaining. I managed to get one decent bit of video (in my opinion, at least): C J Giles setting up a dunk for Christian Moody.

For highlights of a little more quality, along with other coverage, see the story at kusports.com.


good thing I made myself a scarf--high of 14ºF today
(that's about -8ºC, Merrica)

and in case you couldn't see how deliciously pink the scarf I knit is, here's another shot; and please enjoy the ribbing . . .
