F-to-P!

One of my goals for this evening — barring any Build-A-Bear video endeavors that Kas is trying to set up — is to catalog my sock yarn and calculate the yardage to miles for the aforementioned Lime & Violet Sock Marathon 2007. The gist: calculate sock stash to miles, set a goal (say, knit up 2 of the 5 miles), and try to accomplish it by the end of March. Sounds good to me!

I think my next goal in pirate garb will be to knit my own boots. For this I plan to use brown wool yarn, which is feltable, a sturdy pair of shoes, and this method, found on the DIY Network. Hopefully I can find a pair of shoes sturdy enough to survive a trip through the wash. Otherwise, I may not felt them and just go for the piratey-foldey-down-look. You know, like these. So continues my F-to-P transition ...

Also, I've finally gotten to the second book in Pullman's His Dark Materials series. Somehow I remember The Subtle Knife a lot more than the first.

Anyway, I'm out.
