Well...Have been looking around at everyone elses blogs...It's horrible. Everyones got all these cool blogs with cool things and stuff. And you don't have to struggle to read them, you know. The colours go well. I'm much happier with straight out HTML, or CSS than all this "Select a Colour for ...." crap. I can't cope!
It's all very unfortunate, but, I've been trying on my Cable Knit Cap as I go, and even though it's really cool and I love it and it fits... I look crap in it. Which sucks. I might have to give it to someone else. Which seems a pity, because it's my first ever attempt at cables. Didn't turn out too bad, either.
It's not quite finished, because I don't have the right sized DPNs yet (kept stepping on the damn things and snapping them...how crap?).
but, I decided to go cheap. I bought dowel...Have I already told you this? Ah well, you can hear it again. Bought 4mm, 8mm and 9.5mm dowel from Banner and have cut it up into five 20cm pieces. Now all that needs to be done it sharpen the ends. I had planned on pencil sharpening them. But, it must be like, ultra hard-strong-good stuff, because my sharpeners are creaking under the pressure. They just can't do it.
Any suggestions?
Hmm...And what I thought was really cool is this tBucks stuff. Like, it encourages people to comment and blog and all, so everythings more interesting. Makes it all much easier to approach new people! How joyous?
Mm....I started on these "Hooray for Me Gloves" today. [url=www.mlminspirations.com]Marnie Maclean[/url] ones. I'm using a normal crappy yarn though. I was reading on the [url=www.knitty.com]Knitty[/url] EzBoard that if you soak stuff in ammonia for a while, it makes it all nice and soft. So, that's what I plan to do. Miss Maclean suggests conditioner and tepid water. Hmm..Tough decisions though. Risk the tried and true methods stench, or a new way which doesnt smell. Not sure.
For those of you with knitting blogs, who put up those little percentage things...How do you do it? You know, the percentage bar of how much something has been done? Please do tell!
So long, fellow blogger. 'Til we meet again.

Hey! I know of you! LaBean, eh? I'm Ashik0! I think you've actually helped me out with silly questions once before!
Mm...I don't know that much, I learnt some stuff while I was doing a blogger blog. If you like, I can email you some links to places which have helped me immensly?
And cables, far out. I was slightly scared, but they're not so hard. I quite enjoy them!
