knit knit, purl purl
Jun. 1st, 2005 11:29 pmProgress continues on the baby sweater. I have finally, after 3 attempts of adjusting patterns and gauge, gotten past the point I kept hitting previously when I frogged it. I'm now doing what I believe is called a box stitch, and so far I am pleased that I can follow along with where I am in the pattern just by looking, rather than needing to keep a row counter handy to remind me if I should be knitting or purling at that moment in time.
I also took a walk down to the library. I think I need to admit that my name is TBQ and I'm a libraryaholic. I have a stack of books, all of which I'm in the middle of. But the plus side is that this is proving a very good reward system for encouraging me to walk after work. I suppose that's a method of exercise I'm going to have to give up when the summer heat gets here, but while the air is still cool I may as well take advantage of it.
Tomorrow is work, then belly dance (class was cancelled last week so I didn't miss anything for Serenity), then Friday I have off so I'll attempt to buy plants for my porch.
Watched some of my Firefly DVDs while knitting. I can't say that eps that struck me as weak at the time don't still strike me as weak now. Though I think with Serenity to compare it to and to know what Joss wanted to do with it I can have a greater appreciation for how much Fox was pulling their choke chain, so to speak. Plus you have to have sympathy for how much tossing out the original pilot screwed them over - not just for the pilot, but for all the eps immediately following it.
And now I go to bed like a good girl.
