thrihyrne: Portland, OR (love knits)
I do feel better about myself when I'm accomplishing activities, especially creative ones. Today I've done some domestic things (laundry, washing dishes, eating breakfast) and some fandom things (reading and commenting, beta'ing, working on plots). I've been mentioning this knitting project for my younger brother and his wife, who are expecting their first child in May. It's a Dale of Norway pattern, and colorwork. I really despise colorwork. You may well wonder why on earth I picked this as a project. Well, 8 years ago when I was between projects, I thought I'd make a Dale of Norway sweater for my then-spouse, but thought it would be smart to make an infant size one first, and I was bound to have somebody I could give it to. Yeah. Well, the project languished, the marriage came to an end without him getting said sweater (then again, in Nashville, it would have been too hot for one!). I've resurrected this project and have two in-process pics, as well as one of the page of the baby versions in their completed forms from the knitting book. Just so you all have an idea of what I'm talking about. The sweater itself is knit in the round on size 2 needles.

So! For the rest of today: Writing on my new Wraeththu story, knitting, then work. After work? Probably more writing or knitting. That'll be the theme for the weekend, though I'm planning to go for a walk with [livejournal.com profile] evannichols at some point, as well as get up and go to the Episcopal Cathedral again Sunday morning. After the service I hope that I can chat with the choir director in person and maybe even get an impromptu audition if he wants one so I can hopefully join their choir.

Much love to you all! I'll be around and keeping up, I do hope.

Hmmm. What I find more troublesome was this note at the top of the page:

Edit: seems as though everybody is getting 0%. We're all so unique!!
