Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I plan to take the day off in a sense. As most likely know, tomorrow is Samhain, and a holy day for many pagans. So, I'm planning on spending the day working on things geared towards remembering those who've passed and such. If there's something moving that happens during the day, I may post about it tomorrow, I may just write it down and then put it up later. We'll just see how that goes.

Unfortunately, I didn't do much knitting yesterday, so I don't have much to talk about on that front. (Though I think I should go through and organize my folder of blog pictures so I can quickly tell what I've posted and what I haven't.) I guess I should get on that, but I have new bright green nail polish and want to play with that. (But nail polish and me generally means a day of not knitting.)

Missing Sock

So, I mentioned that I couldn't find my usual traveling project yesterday. This is the project I can't find. I'll give my laundry basket, that seems to be my catch-all place for random things that don't seem to belong there. Don't ask me, it's just how that seems to work right now. But as you can see in the picture that I'm getting close to finishing the first sock. But that's about all I can say about it right now. I might have more to say if I can actually find the thing.

Took a Walk

So, I'm talking about this now is because I walked down to the DMV and couldn't find the normal sock that I would normally take when I'm expecting to be waiting (who doesn't expect to wait at the dmv?) and so took the sock to the left with me. I also have a knack of knitting while I walk. I did manage to get one comment of "If you can walk and crochet, she has it made." I did mutter to myself "It's knitting." Mainly because she had walked past and I likely won't be seeing her again, so what's the point of creating a scene? And then there was practically no line at the DMV, who would have thought that?

Holding myself responsible

And getting work done. So, if you can't tell, I'm working on a dragon plushie. I've been meaning to getting patterns typed up and ready for sale, and to do that I need to knit up all of my plushies again. I know how to knit them but to be able to put that into some sort of intelligible written form without actually working on it again is a little bit like staring at a blank page at the start of the story when you have no clue where to start. So, yeah, I guess I have a start on my council of dragons. A start, anything beyond this one probably would be personal knitting and is a step down in priority.

Honestly, I was just being lazy and slacking on getting things done, and something TB said in one of his q&a videos. Basically, it was "If you don't hold yourself responsible, nobody else is." So, I'm going to do my best to get this all done and up. Right now, I'm thinking that I'm going to be just selling my patterns on Raverly, that is unless there's enough out cry for me sell on Etsy as well.

More Shirt

Okay, so I have another strip down on the top. I'm probably going to be flipping through projects currently. I don't remember what all you've seen, but I'm just going to show you a bunch of things. But now it seems like it's going to get confusing because I'm about to start on the strip that goes up into the underarm. Yeah, I stopped and took a picture when I was done with the strip. That seemed like a good point to move from my little computer nest. (It's not completely common knowledge that I actually have two computers, and I have a habit of writing on one while the other is running something that is minorly attention grabbing.) I'm also finding that even though I do want this top done, I'm finding the playing with the balls of yarn every second row a bit tedious and so I get tired of working on it after a while. But that's about all I've got right now.

I want

So, I'm bad about going to back to check things like Knitty and Twist Collective regularly. But on the latest issue of Twist Collective there's a blanket I want. Also, do you see it? Do you see why I would be interested in this blanket? I think in it's own way it's subtle enough that most people wouldn't see what I see unless they're of a similar mind as I am. The pattern name is Penta, and that there probably tells you what I see in this. Probably at some point I'll actually get around to buying the pattern. But this is something that I could see taking out to an outdoor concert and if I left it along not many would probably see why I like the blanket. I does look very much like a flower if you take the whole thing in. Though I am curious how many other knitting pagans or wicca are going to see this and want to make it.

A bit more progress

This is probably going to get boring until I decide to pick up something else to work on for a little while. I got several squares done. Probably a less than I normally could get done in the amount of time I had. (I might have been stalling with the sock talk yesterday to cover the lack of progress I've been having.) I might have said that I wouldn't adjust colors so that colors wouldn't go matchy-matchy. Well, I lied. That's part of why I have a lack of progress. Or at least it feels like a lack of progress to me, but I see my progress and when I pull back because I'm not happy with whatever. It happens, and you should know by now that I'm a fickle, fickle knitter and will go back on my word because I'm not going to spend hours on something I'm not happy with. I'm horrible at that, anyhow.

Also, am I the only person noticing the vertical lines in the knitting? And is it weird that I think it's weird that there are vertical lines on it?
