four thoughts
so, I am about 75% of the way through with the first knitting project featuring proper cables -made with a cable needle and everything. Its just a stupid little mug cozy/sweater because I prefer to make my initial errors on small items rather than large. And? I hate it. I hate it hate it hate it. its fiddly and untidy and wonky and its taking me ten freakin' forevers. ~ deep exhale~ BUT? i wanted to try it. and I did. and I will finish it (if I have to kill somebody first? fine.) but yeah. I will bring my stupid, untidy cabled mug sweater into work and will USE the damn thing by next Monday, and be grimly smug about it. I pity the poor fool who points and scoffs at the ridiculousness of putting a hand-knit sweater on a mug of coffee. Truly.
the beautiful handbag concepts in my brain? I am so frustrated that I cannot simply ~will~ them into existance. They are SO beautiful and SO cute and will be SO awesome, and yet? its going to take a lot of hard work to actually birth them into being. Gah, that's frustrating. The first one has been started, but lord: its going to be a long, hard slog as this bag will be about twice as large as my other versions, and that means at least twice as long to knit up. probably longer. I just wish I had three other sets of hands with which to knit all my bags, all at once - just like Kali. and then I could also paint myself blue. you know: for effect. ~blink~
okay, lunch today is a repeat of the one I packed yesterday. Vinegar'd sushi rice, steamed spinach, steamed cinnamon carrots and pan fried tofu marinated in goyza dumpling sauce. OMG, THE NOM!! really, truly: it was awesome and tasty and about negative three hundred calories. awesomesauce. My smallest work pants are fitting loosely these days. heh.
The trouble with starting a new business is finding a focus, rather than scattering all your energy hither and yon. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want to do and how best to do it. Its tempting to try everything, all at once - but I need to have a much firmer grasp on what is the best timing and use of my limited resources of time, money and energy. Trying to be a creative visionary AND a business manager? is going to be an interesting ride. yessiree. But? why the heck not.
