Quest Log: Day 1
So, I've been making lots of To Do lists this semester, and it's been helping me remember to do things. But, there's this whole treadmill aspect of it. I saw this blogger (that I now can't find) who switched over to a Quest Log, putting each task in the larger context, awarding XP, things like that. I thought, "I like that plan." So, today, I ( Read more... ) -
Various thoughts from the past 24 hours
1)My right knee hurts sufficiently that I am limping around the house. My limp is not psychosomatic, even though it is idiopathic. (I did not realize that my missing my knees when they're gone would happen at about a decade after high school, even though it's only temporary--I trust ( Read more... ) -

Of T-shirts
I've been thinking for a couple of years that, if we're going to be more visible in the community, we need a t-shirt, or, at least, some kind of apparel.

Knitting Olympics, Day...whatever
So, I ran out of yarn for the second sleeve. This left me with 2 workable options: 1) frog and re-knit the whole thing in a smaller size, this time probably with a hood or 2) rip back 10-ish rows on the first sleeve and do the last few rows of both sleeves in the body yarn ( Read more... ) -
Knitting Olympics, Days 3 and 4
Yesterday, I did not have enough yarn for the hood, so now it is a sweater with a collar. I also decided that, should I make this pattern again, I will do stockinette, rather than garter stitch, as this is a bit crunchy granola-looking for me. However, I think that any number of children would happily wear the basic design and construction of the ( Read more... ) -
Knitting Olympics, Day 2
Yesterday, I got the rest of the body finished, and started on the hood. There's still the sleeves and edging to do ( Read more... ) -
Knitting Olympics, Day 1
We went to see Wolfman last night, so I didn't cast on for the Knitting Olympics until this morning, sitting in the classroom before my weekly Bio test. I knit while waiting for everyone to finish, and I knit a bit during lecture. I knit on the way to the dog park and I knit while editing documents for church. I was going to knit while watching ( Read more... ) -
