I give up on having a flat blanket — let there be ripples. As long as it’s not curling up from being too tight, it’ll work alright for the purpose intended. Now I just need to keep my nose to the grindstone and try to get at least one mini-skein a day added to it. That’ll keep it growing at… Read more »

One of the signs, to me, that my health is improving, is that I can find the spoons to do my nails a bit more frequently. It also helps that I am utterly in love with this black. It’s super-shiny, and I even managed to buff scratches out of a thumbnail that I accidentally texturised while it was drying. That’s… Read more »

And by ‘fake snow’, I mean ‘unexpected mini-hail’. Z happened to be looking out the window when it started, so he was able to tip off the rest of us to take a peek-see. What can I say — we’re British. We obsess about weather. Add in the fact that some of us are at least part-Texan as well, and… Read more »

I thought doing a round blanket would be a laugh. I thought it would be straightforward — after all, I know the magic ratio you’re supposed to use to keep a circle flat as you go. So of course, I’ve had to pull out several rows several times trying to get the damned thing to behave as the tension changed… Read more »

I’m a nerd, ha ha. I was taking some stuff to punch my headache in the taco, so seeing that the co-codamol had a BL carved into it (for the manufacturer), so adding the ‘ah’ for blah? Genius, honest. ((I amuse easily, and I am more than okay with this)) I’ve got nothing on the books for this weekend, which really,… Read more »

If there is one thing I like about crochet (when I’m actually in the mood to do it) is how quickly it grows. Add in the fact that I am doing this with oddments, and it’s so far so good on keeping me vaguely interested. I won’t be taking it with me to the pub tonight ’cause it requires a… Read more »

I had another knitting magazine come in, which means another kit, which means… yeah, I’ve not been using wool fast enough. *chuckles* So I decided I was going to do a round crochet blanket. I don’t know how long I’ll go before I get bored, but I figure it’s likely longer than it would be doing yet another granny square…. Read more »

My head is cold, and apparently my brain doesn’t accept hair as the appropriate covering for it today… thanks brain, you’re a pal. :p At least the blanket is toasty warm, though I guess I could go find a hat or turn the heat on. But yanno, that makes too much sense. >__> <__< Besides, I like my blanket, and… Read more »

We have had some mega wind over the past 24+ hours. Like, there was snow not too far from here out of freaking nowhere, it was that wild. It was also really bad most of the morning, though it’s calmer right now. Unfortunately, it was morning that had me walking across the village to and from the surgery, ha ha…. Read more »

I was passing a card around the fam earlier to get all the signatures on it, so I decided to see if Poison wanted to add her mark. She didn’t. She just gave me a look, because yanno, cat, no apposable thumbs, etc. She’s pretty tolerant of my weirdness though, so. *chuckles* I’ve been vaguely productive today, which is always… Read more »
