This rug is amazing. It's by Flocks, a project by Dutch fasion designer Christien Meindertma. Click on the little field of sheep (on the right of that page) to see more pictures, including someone weilding some very large knitting needles, and take note of the little knitted swatch they are using as a guide. Also take a look at the sweaters made using wool from just one sheep, keeping the color of that animal's wool. via Cool Hunting.

I bought a box of Jules Destrooper Almond Thins on a whim, and oh they are so yummy.

The cover of The Stranger (Seattle's cooler-than-yours free weekly) this week is a photo of little tree sweater made by Erika. It's so exciting.

Also Seattle related -- I have recently become interested in tracking down a VHS tape (not on DVD yet) of Solarbabies to watch. This is likely a result of my lingering fear of post-apocalyptic societies, love of bad movies I can barely remember and Scott has never seen, and the Rat City Roller Girls. We found a copy at the mecca, Scarecrow Video, but it takes a three-figure deposit to borrow. This means it is rare, and makes me want it all that much more. (We didn't rent it though, our VCR is unreliable and we didn't feel like risk takers at that moment.)
