aiiighhhhh
The creative process sucks. I'm going to go organize my books by subject, author name and color of spine and hope somewhere in the middle of it I will have a blinding flash about
1. What I should call the Great Thief So and So, Frederick Rochester
2. What he should steal (I'm thinking jewels but I'm also thinking actually calling the story Diamonds Are Forever would be um.)
3. What madly awesome gadget Walter should come up with. They would have to be powered by some sort of compressed air/steam cartridge and be totally awesome and that's all I got.
Oh hey guys, those of you who lurk in yarn stores, can you think of anybody who has a purple and green colorway (why do they call them colorways, anyway) for not a million dollars per skien? A despairing poke at Webs pulled up Kureyon 188 but it's singleply and I'm told it will wear like, well, Jun getting a puppy look from Aiba. I.e., not so much. There's a mix at Knitpicks that might work but I have to wait to see how much I like Essentials first. And since it's a multi I know in my heart the colors will pool and I will go crazy and sit around glowering at it angrily. Ask Erin, she has a perfectly good hat she scored just because the colors were pooling and it made me crazy. -- And, then they WON'T pool on the heel and I'll sit in a corner with an Eeyore cloud hanging above my head and someone will try to cheer me up and then I'll go under the bed and all you'll see is two hatefully gleaming eyes. Sometimes, I will hiss ominously.
(I might get the Kureyon eventually and make wrist-cuffs instead. Dammit, my tinhatting kokoro will not be crushed by the reality of wool!)
Feh, I might actually just handdye and deal with the pooling. I can't find anything that properly expresses the .... how to say .... crazy that the AibaJun socks should have. I have worsted weight yarn, so they'd be pretty thick. ON THE OTHER HAND the person who would end up with them lives in North Dakota so it might actually not be a bad idea to do it in heavier yarn.
Amy's been making water bottle diapers (basically a cotton tube to soak up the sweat from the cold water) and I've been taking ice water to work, so I started one too. It's going really fast and somewhat more to the point, is using up my odd ends of Sugar'n'Cream. I'll have to see how Amy is doing hers but mine is basically a tube with a row of eyelets on top that I'll string ribbon through to pull tight.
