I'm not sleeping well, I have no idea what's going on but it's annoying how bad it is and the klonopin is not helping and I don't think a higher dose would help.
But after therapy today I went to the yarn shop so I can start a new project I'm making fingerless gloves for Dad for Xmas. He said they'd be helpful for when he's hunting and needs to load a shotgun. The pattern K picked for me is based off a pair a female character in Twilight wears. Here's the pattern [link] But I think in the brown heather yarn I got they'll look fine.
They are knitted on double points so I'm also learning something new.
Don't let all the ends on the dpns scare you. It's all just knitting. I've done more fingerless mitts than I care to think about. Those look straight-forward enough (and certainly manly enough for a hunter)
Those look great! I'm scared of dpns.
Yeah, I do magic loop. Does that mean I don't have to learn double pointed?
I find magic loop more intimidating than dpns, but maybe that's because I learned how to use dpns a long time ago and am very comfortable with them.
I feared magic loop until I did it (it was new! And talked anout by those hip knitters! And i didnt realize it was actually the same as that thing i called "faking it because i can't be arsed to get the right size of dpns when there's a circular right the hell here!") and then immediately quit using dpns for anything. I never feared dpns, but I was never comfortable with them either -- too many pieces pointing in too many directions, and I tend to lose 2 or so of each set.
Not drunk posting, fwiw. Just phone posting.
I loathe these "there's hope if you stand up to cancer" fundraisers. "If we can send a man to the moon, we can beat cancer" is nonsense. Beating cancer exponentially harder, because it's not one disease, it's hundreds of ways cells can go mad. Engineering is way easier than medicine.
Also, I hate hearing about dead people who were cheerful and always had hope.
