I've got Mr. Miyagi saying "cast on; cast off" in my head now.
And this has turned into the "clap on" jingle in mine.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bought a washer and dryer, and a wonder bar. No TV yet. I will probably bring my mac Mini to the new house with a spare-ish monitor so teh cable guy can tell if we're hooked up right. Pretty silly, on the whole.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Crocheting is easy, at least, compared to getting one's cat's claws unstuck from one's sweater without getting a snag.

Knitting gets easier. Everyone's first few projects end up weird. (This is why I usually recommend that the first few projects be pot holders. In all likelyhood, you'll end up with something rather more blobby than square, but who cares? It's a pot holder.)

I've tried to cast on 3 times now. I think I'm grasping what to do for the knit part. Its the starting that is kicking my ass. Not helping that they are both kinda new with different tecniques. Me confused.

I tried. It kicked my ass. Sad to say, I gave up. Not as easy as it looks.

I just tried to type up some advice, then realized that knitting advice is absolutely useless in text. (Also, my grandmother taught me to knit when I was a kid. She was from Germany, so she taught me the Continental method, which looks totally weird to anyone using the other method. So it would probably leave you more confused, anyway.)

I crochet, because knitting involves too much counting, but when I have knit, I've always used the instructions on Martha Stewart Living. [link]
