Ridiculous quizzes...why do we go there?

And in the latest of quizzes you didn't need to take...

I just don't think people have enough to do with their time but I was sucked in anyway. These ones are just so far left of centre. At least those quizzes in Glamour and Cleo and Cosmo told you how likely you were to get a date / keep the boy / shop yourself into a stupour / etc. All good and useful information.

On the real life front, I'm not sure I'd be putting myself in a situation where anyone would have to taste me or that I'd have to exist in my freezer for any length of time. I have far too much knitting and cycling and other s**t to get sorted to be bothered. Check out the WIPs over there on the left > I swear they're breeding. I no sooner start one than another crops up that absolutely, positively cannot wait to get on the needles. I think that's why I have so many straight needles. If I had discovered circulars - especially interchangeable circulars - earlier, I'd just have an excess of tips lying around. Instead I have fixed circulars, DPNs, all manner of lengths of straight needles.

Anyhow - I have actually finished a couple recently and have nearly clocked up 5km worth of knitting so far this year. That can't be bad. I'm also about to clock 5000km on my hybrid bike since its purchase in November 2007. If I could combine the two, I'd be in clover! See you next rant :)

March update

Looking at the Blog and thinking I should feed it but what with? Having a bit of a ho hum kinda month so far. Hay fever has struck with a vengence and feeling like crap most mornings doesn't help the joie de vive at all. Motoring on with knitting projects as I have another swap to get going on and am making socks as fast as I can. Post date is supposed to be March 10 but as it's the 8th already, I'm going to miss that. I do have 2 socks you understand but they are missing feet - being only just turned heels-style socks. Major bummer!


On the positive side knitting is happening and both swap projects are out of stash and out of my Ravelry queue. The second project is supposed to be gone next week and needs legs, sewing and stuffing in parts before I can finish - oh! not to mention the back half of his body. Good grief! How did I get into this pickle? One answer - late nights after tennis going, "Oh! That sounds like fun! Think I can do that!" without adding up how much stuff and when they all had to be done. At least the Birthday Swap group I am in has no one with a birthday in March or April. I have breathing space!

This is good because I have several projects I wanted to do that are now hibernating for no good reason. My Tilli Tomas silk top with lace inserts for one. I did finish some lace though - a sanity knit this was the yarn from Secret Santa last year. Will talk again soon but leave you all with Laminaria Shawlette in Naturally Dawn a 50/50 merino-silk mix 2ply. Very nice!
