[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

I will splurge on knitting needles and only use addi Turbos. They're fast and slick and make a satisfying click-click noise. I used a gift card to buy a set of addi Clicks (their version of the interchangable thing) and I like the flexibility but need to buy more tips. I tend to use a lot of 16" needles, so I've bought a bunch of those in sizes 6-15. I knit tight, so I usually have to go up a few sizes to get gauge.

I love sock yarn but get impatient knitting socks, so I use it for lacy scarves or shawls.

Art Crawl!!!

Hey what sizes do the addi lace needles run in?

I'm knitting a shawl on sixes - currently only at the very beginning so I'm using straights but will be switching to circs once I'm further along.

I am not sure because I've never used the lace needles. I have only used the regular Turbos.

I would like to thank everyone who purchased episode 6 of Drive. Today, I received my very first residual check.

Because of you, I can now buy another latte and will still have four cents left over. Which I may frame.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You're welcome!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Man, that strike sure worked!

Trust my rage

Aww, I know a latte is pretty puny, but I'm still excited, proud, and happy for Kristen.

The yum and caffeine combo of a good latte is not a little thing. Congrats, Kristen!

Also, Drive isn't available on DVD, is it? It's just streaming, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. I am proud of our Kristen too. I wish it had gone longer (for us, too) but I am proud nonetheless.
 
Well I did make it to the yarn store. I was greeted by a very nice lady and her elderly student. (They teach!) It is a lovely store.
 
I bought size 8 bamboo circular needles, cream, black, and yellow worsted weight (is that what I mean?) wool/acrylic for the Penguins scarf and black and red cotton for the dishcloths. 32 bucks for the lot.
 
The nice lady tells me I should bring all my projects on the train so I can switch when I get bored. Hee. Dunno, that would mean another bag. Anyway, a good store.

cream, black, and yellow worsted weight (is that what I mean?)

Probably, judging by the size needles you bought and how it's usually worsted (or bulky) for non-lacy scarves.
