The Pumpkin Pie Scarf is done, fringed, and blocking on the deck. I also started a knitting pedagogy idea, since Corinne is learning to knit. It also may work for my Jingle Balls Swap Secret Pal, depending upon his or her preferences. Quick and easy! Thrills! Plus, I'm using some of that lovely yarn that Emily gave me before leaving for New Zealand.
Donovan is making omlets in the kitchen, and Antonomous is home from work and doesn't need to ref until 5. Cubic buttload of errands to do today: Market run for supper fixins, I need batteries for my camera, a few blouses for SPEP, and to clean out my trunk.
I smell onions frying in the cast iron. Mmmmmmmm.
In other news, Antonomous helped me fix the sewing monster last night! It works! It doesn't do anything too impressive, but it is a functional machine, which is a vast improvement on two days ago. Post-battery purchase, I'll try my hand at getting some pictures up on le blog.
That's all for now!

Exhaling the wail of black widowhood's toll /Waxing eternal night entered Her soul
Cradle of Filth's "Cruelty and the Beast" is ridiculous and amazing.
An Elizabeth Bathory concept album with a true aria? So Eff'n Sweet.
In other news, Sooz and I are going to see Danzig on Tuesday night.
Gonna fix teh sewing machine monster when I get home from work tonight. I dumpster dove that thing with Adamantium probably 5 years ago now, and it worked for a bit. It is a circa 1950 Kenmore 158-120 that folds into a table. Perhaps pictures will be posted upon my victorious belt changing apres la travaille. -- Oh, and I shall pay at least some of my bills. Ok. Two.
The Pumpkin Pie Scarf is almost done -- it should be complete and fully blocked before I have to leave for Pittsburgh on Friday morning --- holycrapSPEP, Batman! I have a fun plan for the fringey bits. MMMMmmm Fringey bits.
Tried my hand at a little lacework idea generating. I think I need to know more about the mechanics of my stitches. It is a strange thing to have done something for sixteen years and not learnt much about how it actually works. In my defense, I was ten years old and Nana didn't see fit to explain to me the structural differences between K2tog and S1, K1, PSSO. I just knew that S1K1PSSO is way more fun to do than K2tog. I was TEN! But NOW! I'm 26, rapidly approaching 27-with-a-mistress'-degree-in-philosophy and have grandiose plans for a charter school and/or fiber arts empire of epic proportions.
How do I learn the things I need to know. I have a bunch of ideas, but my efforts at trial and error never seem to pan out in any meaningful way. I need advice. *whisper* perhapsIshallgetupthenervetoemailalex?*
I will have a good think while I scan in this coursepack for Professor L. and try to obtain the copyrights to reprint it. I mean, I don't even know what to ask. Le Sigh.
Also, HOLYCRAP All Hallows Eve is coming, and I NEED a pink wig. I'm going as Jem from Jem and the Holograms. Eighties-tastic.
