About me

Hello, internet!  I'm Mirith, though I go by a different name in person.  You may also know me as Rare Crane. 

I like writing about what's going on in my life, and I've kept paper journals for years.  I also am near-obsessive about documenting everything in other contexts.  My co-workers will tell you I'm a broken record about preserving knowledge.  (Future you will thank you if you write down how you fixed that weird issue with that one thing!).  

I blog about yarn-y things and photography -- my two main hobbies.  I would list what specific things "yarn-y" means, but that list would be too long, and I'm constantly adding to it.  I will also, from time to time, throw out random thoughts that have been rattling around in my head for too long. 

Whatever brought you to my corner of the internet, I welcome you and hope you enjoy your time here.

Yesterday my family visited the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  We're down in Irvine, staying with my grandparents, and we had never been before, so we went.  My dad being a great enthusiast of museums also facilitated this trip. I brought along my camera and new lens (Nikon D40 and Rokinon 14mm 2.8).  I also brought a 35mm prime lens for the pictures, since the Getty's website said non-flash photography was permissible and I wanted pictures of the artwork inside. I had never seen the museum itself, and honestly I would have been happy walking around the outside and on the grounds for the entire day.  The museum is situated at the top of a hill overlooking Los Angeles, and is a very modern-looking, artsy building.

Knot bag, present for Mom!

Image
Continuing the theme of hand-sewing: I made a knot bag for my mom's birthday present.  They're bags with two handles -- one is longer than the other, and can be threaded through the shorter one to close the bag and form a "knot".  The completed knot bag. (Pattern from Indigobirddesign on Etsy).
