Enough emotime, though.

I have a new knitting project. Mom is teaching me her pattern for washcloths. She seemed pleased that I could read it, but it's really, really basic. It's different from the plain garter squares I've done before because it's knit on the bias (i.e. from corner to corner, rather than edge to edge), and it has an edge with lace-like holes in in, so I now know how to do yarn-overs. (Not like they're hard; I just didn't know that before!) I'm using a yarn that's yellow and white...Mom called it "corn."

So I'll be knitting a bunch of washcloths for my Aunt Krista for Christmas, because she specifically said she would LOVE knit washcloths as a Christmas gift. HINT.


Also, my cat blanket is coming along...I have about 16 inches or so of length on it so far.

I had it spread out on the floor to measure the width yesterday (looks like it will be quite close to the desired 24 inches!), and Callisto quite deliberately walked over...stepped on it experimentally with one paw...and then walked onto it and made as if to plunk his fuzzy butt down. But then got distracted and left before I had to shoo him off. (Geez cat, it's not finished yet.)

I think that's a good sign.

probably not kosher commenting about other posts, but yeah

Aw, thank you. I've never gotten AIM to work on my computer unfortunately, but I appreciate that. I'm okay; just had a very emo afternoon, and am disappointed by people... Eh, whatever.

(And unless I specifically say, "Don't comment on this," I don't get pissed if people comment elsewhere or email. I very rarely disable comments, anyway; I only get that upset about once a year.)
