knitblog ... in disguise!

Next large project (the shawl is not working, I think it's a combination of the needles and the ribbon yarn, but it's just not happening - will have to frog the hell out of it,and I don't have the patience for that at the moment):

Unbiased. I've already ordered the yarn, from here, and I'm totally stoked about it. Knitting the ends of saris! (And I'm not going to say that the sample of banana-fiber yarn wasn't also tempting.)

This does not count socks for people, of course. :-)

And I need to find something awesome to knit with bamboo yarn. I think I'm in this just to see how many bizarre fiber combinations I can whip up.

But the bag should be awesome when it's done, and it looks easy, for that between-quarters-break when I'm not playing the Sims 2 (because I'm buying myself a copy of Sims 2 for Mac when I get through this quarter, yes precious, it's the only thing that's dragging me through these next few weeks.)

Also I am definitely going to the local Church of Craft meeting on the 19th, because the mailing list claims we're learning how to make beaded spiders and fabric origami, and I need to do things outside the house, I think.

poor kid looks like his mother cuts his hair

I got sick and tired of getting knots out of the boy's hair and cut it this morning with a pair of kitchen scissors. I do this every now and again. Hopefully it doesn't look too doofy.

Maybe I should do what my mom did and pick up an actual pair of haircutting scissors. My father had one non-home-haircut in the last ten years of his life, and that was when my mom was in the hospital for three weeks.

(Wow, the 'night' setting does that weird colour saturated thing that used to happen with 1970's kodachrome. Fascinating.)

(Yes, that is a dead credit card. He loves those. God knows why.)
