Friday woo hoo!

Yay: New layout! [livejournal.com profile] casa_mcshep! SPN 4.13 (boyyyys)! Getting orangey Rodneylike yarn! Surviving yesterday! Aside from a 6-hour power outage yesterday afternoon, life has treated my kindly the past two days.

I think the best part, though, is just finally, finally being able to get things done beyond the bare minimum required to satisfy people. After a year--really longer, but the past year has been notable for its awfulness--of torpor and feeling lousy and chronically exhausted, having some get-up-and-go is such a relief.

To celebrate, a meme! Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] telesilla: Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.

[tags are here! And hey, if you have a question about the art, for that matter, ask it! I like talking about teh arts.]

SHOW ME THE KNITTING!

Ha, there is not that much to show! I knit very slowly, and am still pretty much a rank beginner :D :D I have this cowl, which I absolutely adore (http://aesc.livejournal.com/352161.html#cutid1) and this scarf (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l307/aesc36/scarfy.png), which I wear a lot. I think my next project will be a pair of fingerless gloves, because my hands get cold when I'm sitting at my desk at home, but I have no idea if I'm ready to tackle cables yet.

oh I love them!

dont let anything in knitting intimidate you. the worst thing that can happen is that you mess up and have to rip back. but even then you will have learnt something, so its all good.

get a cable needle with a big bend in the middle of it, rather than a straight one, so that it wont slide off when you let go of it for a few seconds. but apart from that, you are good to go. :)

*pom poms*

ps. join ravelry! :D
