Juletide was pretty fun. The drive to Decorah? Not so fun — it was windy and snowy and dark. The concert, though, was good. My parents and I sat in the front row of the balcony, a little left of center (right next to a camera for IPTV). The format was really different than it had been in the past few years, so I wasn't as wistful to be a part of it. This was a good thing, I think. I enjoy change, but really, the narration was a little cheesy.
I want these [via Fifteen prudent gifts for the budget-minded]. They're an inexpensive investment of about $9. The bigger ones are about $10 more. They are delightful and charming [as, by the way, am I].
I'm attempting to head off the knitting doldrums. They have a tendency to sneak up on me from time to time, especially when I'm working on things that are either too monotonous or that I've made a lot of recently. [Read: hats and scarves.] Fortunately for me, the newest knitty has been posted and has provided me with ample projects mull and attempt.
- Danica is just the sort of thing I need. A new technique to fascinate and occupy me for hours — entrelac.
- Thuja, a man-sized sock for my ginormous feet, will get me back into sock mood. [Maybe I'll even pick up Broadripple again.]
- Marley's Ghost is a chain. Just a chain.
- Bamboozelle is made of bamboo yarn, of which I have some.
- Pocket Creatures, quite simply, are cute.
- Kate is another cat. Yes, Dustro, I know how much you love the two knitted pussies that are roaming around the apartment ...
Also, this little guy is kind of cute, in his own way. I hope someone posts a pattern.
And I'm sorry, teacherhumangirlperson, that you're mad at us. I apologize, and all I have to say is that dumb shit happens.
