Today, for the win!
Today I was declared our ASM's Knitting Mentor. I got her started on knitting in the round with double pointed needles with fun and soft purple mohair-type yarn.
Also, (and I can't believe I've never done this before) I sat in a rocking chair and rocked myself while I knitted. Ohmygod! It was so relaxing! I want to do it all the time now! (Maybe on a porch with a glass of iced tea next to me...)
Aaaand, (unrelated to knitting), I've been making a habit of running stairs with a fellow crewbie after our first shift in Act 2. We started a week ago and I've been consistently running 4 or 5 "laps," at 20 steps up (and 20 steps down, naturally). He's former ROTC, so he's rather kicking my ass at this, but today! Today, I ran 6 laps and didn't fall down!
Neat.
