I woke up too early this morning because of a bizarre bad dream involving a baby, meconium, and bondage. Ugh! So to wipe that creepy imagery from my mind, I finally made a tassel and attached it to my harf. And so I defeated the dread procrastination, and now I have a crazy new garment to wear in the cold.

And in another battle won against procrastination, I finally completed some insurance claim paperwork that's been sitting on my desk for a month. Go me!

Laundry is on the go, I have dishes to do, a meeting to attend, two fitness classes to plan then teach, and somewhere in there, I want to work some more on my sonnet and naalbinding. Will I have the time? I guess I'll find out!

Oh, and wouldn't this be fun? I'm considering it..... Who'd come with me?

[livejournal.com profile] knightky will be here briefly this weekend. I must remember to check how that Viking coat fits him. I bought fur to trim it with, too!

When did you start knitting? I want to learn so bad but I don't know where to start, did you have someone teach you or take classes or just learn by yourself? That is gorgeous!

Thanks! I started knitting last summer. I'm very slow and not very adept with regular knitting, but I am very quick and getting pretty good with knitting looms. I took a regular knitting lesson with an instructor, and had a friend show me more, but my sister showed me how to do loom knitting in about 5 minutes. The basics are super super easy, and I'd knit my first hat that same night.

Look up Knifty Knitter. You should be able to find these looms at any major crafting shop, and if not, you can find them on eBay for pretty cheap. I bought a book that shows other stitches than the basic one, but YouTube is excellent for tutorials.

Some people at my crossfit gym are doing the Warrior Dash in Columbus, OH on June 4 I believe... I didn't sign up yet... but if you really wanted to go, since you should have a passport by then, I bet we could work something out... or did you have a closer Dash in mind?

There's one in Ontario that's not terribly far from me (although anything in a different city is too far for people who don't have cars). I'm hoping I can find someone with a car who'd like to enter with me.

Oh my god that Warrior Dash thing looks like so much fun.
