Conversion

Ok, I'm not saying I won't ever go back to top-down, particularly as I've only knit one toe so far, but thanks to Helen and Sara I have discovered the Figure Eight cast on and with one darnable, forgiveable exception, it's going pretty well. I didn't get the hang of the crochet cast on, and made things rather difficult for myself.  But this is so much easier.  Just watch me become a sock geek  even more of a sock geek.

XH is moving out today - or moving a percentage of his possessions somewhere else, at any rate.  He isn't calling it moving out. Well, whatever works for him, I guess.

Off to do a workshop tomorrow, at this wonderful place with this very talented lady, you may have seen her cushion contribution to the Guardian Craft supplement last week.  As we'll be refashioning shirts into cushions tomorrow, she suggested I might like to take one of XH's favourites and use that. Damn, he's packed them all already.

Ugh. Watching somebody move out sounds dull and pretty painful. Hope it all goes ok as it can.

Love the socks!

What a great workshop - I hope you have a great time and that it helps to keep your mind occupied. XH moving out does sound painful and I'm thinking of you and sending you lots of warm, huggish thoughts. I hope that this time next year you'll be looking back on today as the start of a wonderful new chapter in life xxx

I say well-intentionally (well-intentioned?), having only just found you today: persevere. Think that this leaves you open to the next, best discovery ahead.

Meanwhile (meanwhillay? sorry -- does that not come across in the funny way I intended?) I would love to jump in to the March swap, but I'm finding the link only speaks to January's; is there new information for March?

Theres nothing like a good workshop for the soul ... meeting talented people, focusing on creativity, leaving any troubles outside ... I've met some mighty women that way. Have a wonderful day. You sock geek you.

I hope you have/had/are having (confused by time difference) a lovely time.

You seem a bit of an alchemist to me, turning ordinary things into beautiful things, I am sure that you can apply this delicate skill to all arenas of your life.

Out with the old...and soon in with the new, maybe? At least there'll be more room to expand now.

Seriously, I hope you're doing okay. Also, have you tried the dirty laundry? Maybe he's left some shirts there. He he he!
