Obama is considering running for president.
Please, let democracy work. Let him run and win. I'd love to have a president who can spell without the aid of Hooked on Phonics...
Things I need right now:
To write something that I'm actually happy with. ARGH.
A rice cooker
Someone to clean my bathrooms
Dessert
New knees
The new Haruki Murakami book to magically teleport itself from the holds shelf in the Central Library downtown to my present location.
I want to make this sweater for myself (I love it, but a sweater?). (Although I'd probably do it in Knitpicks Main Line, in either Blueberry or Red Velvet Cake. Mmm, cake.)
While I'm talking about sweaters, I'm thinking about doing Kyoto (yes, still) in Knitpicks Crayon, but I don't know how to size it up (I have a 46" chest, and it only goes up to 42" in the pattern.) Help? If I can figure this out (having passed the 'I can't afford that much yarn' hurdle) I might actually do it. Of course, it would still take forever. I have enough problems finishing small patterns.
That said, I am making decent progress on this knitted hat-thing I'm making for one of my sibs. If I can keep the boy and the cats away from it, I might be done by the end of the week. Considering that keeping the boy and the cats away from it is no easy task and if I knit too awfully long at a sitting my hands start to hurt, that's not too bad. I'm making it in Suri Dream, (Ocean) which has been sitting in my stash for ages because it's too damn fluffy to do just about anything with but pet.
And after I'm done the few knitted gifts I'm doing this season, I'm making myself a pair of very tall socks. Because secretly, I like wearing skirts.
