I’ve had a good day of organizing – I bought a set of plastic drawers from Zellers for the stash, and put it all away in there. It looks very neat and tidy.
I’ve done another row of bubbles on the sleeve, and will do more once I’m done this post.

Jumping on the bandwagon with the latest meme. It’s hard to remember what I’ve shared or not.
10 Knitterly Things You Don’t Know About Me
1. I started my knitblog with this thought in my mind that somehow I’d attract a following (like the Yarn Harlot’s, or Wendy Knits) immediately. I don’t know why I thought this, my projects aren’t amazing, nor do I churn out projects like some other bloggers. My pictures are average, I can go for weeks without posting, this blog overall gets an average grade in my mind. So I know why I don’t have the following.
2. Now that I’ve been knitblogging for a while, I realise that I didn’t want the ‘following’, I just wanted comments on my projects, answers to questions I ask. It’s just nice to get feedback from people who know knitting. Friends and family or fine, but it’s always nice to hear from someone who knows exactly what has gone into it.
3. Enough about blogging. I started knitting one summer (with a 100% wool scarf!) because I couldn’t find a job, and ended up sitting around the house watching TV. Knitting while watching made me feel less guilty.
3. I have a bad habit of picking a pattern and then trying to substitute yarn that really won’t work with that pattern. Luckily now I know enough not to continue with those projects.
4. I don’t know what style I knit with. The yarn hangs on whichever side it needs to, I stick right needle in stitch with my right hand, let go of said needle (sometimes propping it with my left), wrap yarn around needle with right hand, drop yarn, pick up needle again. I don’t know. It works for me.
5. When I’m watching TV without my knitting, I feel twitchy.
6. I want all my socks to be handknit. I’m not waiting for that day though, at the rate I knit. I own two pairs so far.
7. I’ve been tempted to try spinning, but I’m scared that if I do I will end up with another hobby to spend money on, and something else to take time away from my knitting. I don’t want time taken away from my knitting.
8. I’ve never read any of Elizabeth Zimmerman’s books.
9. I have knitted in public, but I’m hesitant about it. On the one hand, I want to meet other knitters, on the other, I don’t want to have to answer all the non-knitter questions.
10. I knit almost exclusively for myself, mainly because it takes me so long. Deadlines are so hard to meet! The few things I have knit for other people, they didn’t know about it. I couldn’t make whoever it is wait that long for something.

And now a few things I’ve found recently that I want to share:
Dragon Shawl! – I want to make this. Apparently you can email the designer, and buy the pattern for $12, if you don’t have the cash for the $600 already made shawl.
Email you future self!
Second Life – It seems really interesting, when I first heard about it I thought I could become one of the people who makes real-life money in the world, but after reading more articles I think you need programming knowledge. damn.
Avatar – the Last Airbender – My boyfriend bought this at HMV recently, after hearing from a friend it was a good series. It is an AMAZING series. It’s produced by Nickelodeon, it’s in English, it’s written for the Nick audience (young) but there is so much more in there. It’s great. The entire first season is available in a nice boxed set, and series two is currently running, I think they’re up to episode 15. I can’t tell you how much fun this series is. WATCH IT NOW.
Destash and Restash Flickr group – good for getting rid of yarn you just won’t use.
