Bah, that's not how you make real afghans! :P But yay, I just started on my first socks today. The 50% off sale at the craft store was a big incentive to go out and buy the double pointed needles, and the yarn. The mile walk to the craft store a bit of a downside though. :lol: Haven't started making...

Stephan's right, so called 'high literature' is daunting just because it is that: so called. While I'll admit that, even as an English major, I won't sit down and read Don Quioxte -I abhore the book- ,but books that I grew familiar too without such stigmata I'll enjoy readily -Moby Dick is a great e...

Visiting relatives suck, a rant by Izze
Very rarely do relatives visit my father's abode for long during the holidays; a wise decision as no one in the house can cook, and no one in the house can stand being disturbed while working. But, coming from a large farming family (My generation is the first to not own or work on any farms since a...

I cracked up laughing when I read the title. I've never even heard of the piece, but after spending many, many, many torutous years studying German, and now putting up with my German studying roommate (she's required to know German fluently for her degree), I can truly say that I hate the German lan...

I usually knit while studying Japanese (I put on non subtitled Japanese programs on my laptop, anything in .avi that my friends will send me) and just knit. Of course, it's also to piss off my grandma for chuckles. :lol: I'm the first person in my entire family to learn how to knit. Everyone else va...

some teachers recognised that it can be easier to listen if one has something else to do, though some were clever enough to insist on 'one colour, un-patterned' pieces which could be done without having to concentrate... The teachers were right. I can never pay attention unless my fingers and occup...

I prefer the web site http://www.knittinghelp.com/, it provides video of the techniques, and a large pattern database.
I so need to get of my bum and make a pair of fuzzy socks!
