Poor Wandering One: A list
Feb. 14th, 2008 08:16 pm1. Happy Valentine's Day, flist o' mine! Things here are not-exciting. It's snowing again, it's cold, and half the household has a cold.
2. The sore hands issue has been resolved, through the simple expedient of laying off the knitting and crochet today. I'm pretty sure it was a result of all the cotton at fine gauges I've been working with. I think I'll give it until the weekend before I pick up anything else, though I am naturally itching to get back to my Plimoth Plantation gloves. I only have half of one left to knit! And then I can mail them off.
3. In testimony to my contrary personality, last night I queued about fifteen cotton washcloth patterns on Ravelry. Because I really need to be knitting cotton if that's what's making my hands and wrists hurt.
4. In further testimony to my contrariness, I've been looking at yarn online to spend my Christmas money on. Namely, Patons Classic Merino Worsted, because someone has used it successfully on Ravelry for the Threepenny Pullover, which I've wanted to knit since 2004. I keep looking at the burgundy and going, "Oh! It's so pretty!" I look terrible in burgundy. The purple tone to it makes me look like I have a rash on my face. Why do I keep wanting to buy burgundy things!? Leaf green, Sarah. Leaf green is a good color on you. Or the bottle green. Or navy. But not burgundy.
5. Speaking of the Threepenny Pullover, stay tuned for some musings on my favorite knitwear designers. I KNOW you are all breathless with anticipation at that promise.
6. I have the sudden urge to watch "Firefly," but only bits of pieces of certain episodes. Like the scene at the beginning of "Our Mrs. Reynolds," where Mal and Jayne are on the barge, and Mal is in drag. HI-larious. Or the part in "Shindig" where Mal gets in the duel and stabs the guy in the shoulder*. Or the entirety of "Out of Gas."
7. Must clean my room and do dishes. And then I will write. I'm very near to finishing some fanfiction for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide's New Year's Resolutions thingy. Those poor people with obscure fandoms. I take pity on them.
Oh my god. I just upped my nerd quotient by like 75 points with those last two points.
* [Mal refuses to kill the prone, humiliated Atherton.]
Mal: Mercy is the mark of a great man.
[He lightly stabs Atherton.]
Mal: Guess I'm just a good man.
[He repeats the poking.]
Mal: Well, I'm all right.
