Baby knitting is done for now (I might get some more yarn and make stuff for my other friend's baby, Simon, but Aurora's stuff is done for now). I still have some purple yarn, so I will either make her more things later, or more likely, use it for myself for something ... it's such a pretty color, and I love purple.The knitting project I'm currently working on is a pair of "wristlets", which are like really short armwarmers, but the pattern's adorable, and they're really cute and ruffley. And there's cables, which are fun. I'll post pictures when they're done.
I've gotten as much done with the prologue of my NaNovel as I could, and I submitted it for my writing group's next meeting, so next Thursday, everyone will rip it to shreds. Woot. Hopefully I'll survive. And meanwhile, I can maybe do some more work on the first couple chapters, and get them ready for getting ripped to shreds.
I'm officially dating a boy named Andy; he's pretty spiffy. It's been good so far; except I sometimes worry (because that's what I do) that all the good things I got by not-dating are going away again because I'm in a relationship now, but ... on serious reflection, I don't think that's true, or at least not to the extent that I worry about. So whatever.
I do not have guinea pigs yet. I'm gonna call my mom soon to see when the transfer can happen ... I'll post pictures when I have the cavies (proper name for g.p.s, pronounced kay-vees), so you all can see them.
I think I will name them Panda and Bear. (Panda has to be called Panda, because she has black spots around her eyes, like a panda.) Objections? Is that too ... something?

I look forward to ripping your writing apart :) though I didn't have to do much bleeding on the last piece of yours I read.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the idea of naming your two guinea pigs Panda and Bear. I think it's awesome.
I think they are cedar chips. Oh well, nevermind then.
ReplyDeleteI feel horrid right now. Then again, I just had a baby 3 days ago, geez, you'd think I'd wait awhile before expecting to feel better but NOOOO... haha. Yeah, I'll make sure to let you know when I feel up to company and I'll get my knitting needles and we'll plan a craft day. I have TONS of yarn, so it will be fine even if you don't have any. :)
I think the best writing groups are critical, almost definitionally. In Tolkien's writing group there was this guy who periodically, when Tolkien would read from his works aloud, would sigh, look up at the ceiling and say "Not the bloody elves again."
ReplyDeleteHari: hahahaha ... bet that guy felt stupid when Tolkien became rich and famous. Or whatever ...
ReplyDeleteBut it wasn't too bad. Mostly I was just told to scrap the prologue. (People have a problem with prologues, I think.)
