Somehow, today just seems like a very sllooooowwww day. It's creeping by.

Why does Tuesday have to be the day when the boy doesn't check his e-mail? Oy vey. Wanna talk.

I have Wicca Discussion tonight, which means that I will probably spend 45 minutes to an hour knitting by myself in the cafe. leenahbean, are you at least free to come by and knit with me?

It's too bad we don't live closer, because it'd be cool if we could get together tonight and hang out.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Yeah :)

Definitely too bad we can't hang out more.

i'll be there! i need knitting help.

i'm doing the white lies design shapely tank (free pattern! YAY!) and there's short row shaping at the bottom edge.

i need to know if what i did looks good enough - it looks odd to me, but maybe i don't know what it's supposed to look like.

and, i need to know if i picked too large a size to make. it looks like it's gonna be a tent, but maybe i'm again not understanding how it'll finish up.

Arrghhh. I don't know how to do short rows. How hard are they? I need to learn them eventually or I'll never get a fitted sweater.

they SEEM wicked easy, but i think i maybe didn't tug the yarn tight enough, the wrapped stitches look too large to me. but, maybe they're fine. i want another set of eyes to help me figure it out.

Hmmm...I'll try!

Maybe blocking will help all this when you're done knitting and before you sew?

[leenah.livejournal.com]

i thought i sewed it up, then blocked it? but since i'm NOWHERE NEAR FINISHING, i don't know what happens at that point.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Ack. I think I've heard it both ways.

Let me ask dee_cee. Maybe she'll know.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

She says block before sewing 'cause it makes sewing easier. And she recently made a nifty sweater!

hey, do you happen to pass anyplace that has sanrio stuff on your way over to the cafe? i have a need/strong desire/want for a teeny badtz maru thingy. any ole teeny badtz maru thingy. i was thinking eraser, but i'm not picky, as long as it's badtz maru. or the frog. either one. badtz maru rocks, but kerropi is cute too.

you'd get to see me jump up and down w/ happiness. if possible, would be appreciated. :)

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Um, I don't know of anyplace that carries that stuff...never look for it.
