I had to frog the toe of the second Opal internet sock twice because I kept getting so involved reading web pages I forgot to increase. Ack! So, last night I took it downstairs and worked through the toe to the plain stockinette part. Mindless knitting and knitblogs, go!
Am going to participate in Mama Kate's International Fuzzy Feet Felt-Along. I'd like to use the yarn called for in Theresa's Fuzzy Feet pattern (Lamb's Pride): after the last yarn substitution felting incident I swore to always use to yarn called for in the pattern when I'm felting. If I can't get any by Feb 4, though, I guess I'll have no choice. I checked my stash database and I have 2 balls of Burgundy Galway Heather, 1 each of cream, taupe and chocolate Lopi, and remnant Baabaajoe's in cream, red, and "bracken" tweed. I think I read somewhere that cream Baabaajoe's felts okay, but I don't know about the Lopi. I'm leaning toward the Galway. I don’t think I have size 10.5 dpns, either, just 10s and 13s. As tight as I knit, though, I’ll probably get 3sts/inch on 13s with worsted. I’ll have to swatch and see (naturally.)
More Alternate Reality fun. Tonight's Trek du jour on TNN was "Tapestry," where Q gives Picard the opportunity to change a pivotal point in his youth and re-live the rest of his life. It's an interesting episode. A lot of people say that they would only re-live their youth if they were allowed to take the wisdom they'd acquired with age. This story takes that idea and shows how it backfired on Picard.
Also, while exercising this morning, I watched the first episode of Stargate that co-starred the Quantum Mirror. In the Mirror episodes, Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter are romantically involved in both Alternate Realities -- engaged in one and married in the other. It seems like, for a while, the show's producers were trying to build up relationship potential between them. I haven't seen any of Seasons 4 or 5, and by Season 6, it appears this idea was abandoned. Season 7 might be a good opportunity to bring this back, if they want. Once Daniel comes back, they can promote and reassign Colonel O'Neill (since Richard Dean Anderson doesn't really want to be there anyway) and he won't be Sam's commanding officer anymore. She, Jonas, Daniel and Teal'c can be SG:1. Of course, I haven’t really heard in what capacity Daniel is going to be returning. Since he's returning from the DEAD, one really can't assume anything, can one?
