Hump Day

[badseed1980]

Ah, Wednesday. You're not quite close enough to Friday for me to be getting ready for the weekend, but you're close enough to the beginning of the week that I still feel like I have time to do the things I need to do before the weekend. That's a good thing.

That means tomorrow I can do a MASSIVE shopping trip at the grocery store. I figure I'll do that, get my stuff, and head over to pierceheart's for the night. Cook something there, probably. I haven't done much cooking lately. Maybe something souplike. Pho? Something else? We'll see. I totally dropped the ball because I forgot we'd planned to spend the night at his place on Monday, so I suggested Thursday instead. I will have to figure out where to catch the bus. Seems the easiest way to get to work from there is to take a bus to Davis and get on the Red Line, which won't take me too much longer than the way I usually go.

I have no plans for Friday night. Does anyone feel like doing something low-key?

Low key... perfect

I would love to see you soon. What about some hot tea, movie and a blankie? Something relaxing? I got lots of needle projects, I could work next to you while pouring tea.

Yeah, we could do tea, movies, and you could do needlework while I knit! Girls' night in! :)

I say "low key" because the next day I am carving pumpkins, then getting ready for a party, then partying, probably until late. So I don't want to be out on the town late on Friday night.

Are you guys coming to that party?

I'll give you a call on Friday... We could meet at your place, that way there would be no boys around... I'll bring any movie, just give me an idea of what you are looking for...

Your last comment was anonymous so I'm replying to this one instead (so it gets to your e-mail). My place is fine. Unfortunately, it may be a bit of a mess since I haven't had much time to clean. Have you seen The Nightmare Before Christmas? That would be a perfect Halloween flick!

I think, actually, you could take a bus (80?) to Lechmere and either take another bus or walk to Kendall. You're near Kendall, right?
Go to mbta.com and use their plan a route feature.

I could do that. Bus and T is just as easy, though, and I'd rather wait inside for a train than outside for a bus. I think M got the route I'm thinking of by using MBTA's trip planner.

Buy a copy of the book Stitch n Bitch (NOT Stitch n Bitch Nation) by Debbie Stoller.

Get yourself a pair of size 8 straight needles and some cheap worsted weight yarn like Lion Brand Wool-Ease or Red Heart worsted.

Start at the beginning of the book and practice knitting in garter, stockinette, rib, and seed stitches, and casting on and binding off. Make a few swatches. Then pick an easy first project (one of the simpler scarves in there is fine), and have at it! If you have any questions, let me know. :)

Cool! That's how I learned to knit. The book's really well organized: it teaches you the very basics, gives you some things to do with them, and then gives you a bunch of more advanced techniques and harder stuff to make with them. Some cute patterns, too.
