Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry I’ve been gone so long -- what can I say about stomach flu except, YUCK.
Oh wait, I didn’t spend all my time away lying around feeling sorry for myself. Before that, I went to Springfield, home of our state government, although, curiously, not our Governor. (Don’t worry -- now that I know promoting anarchy is a crime I won’t be making any political statements in my blog.) I had hoped to make it to the Rowan store in Springfield, but when I called she said they closed at 5 -- the same time my class (Intro to Equalization -- can you stand it?) was being dismissed. Phooey! I still don’t have a copy of Vintage Style. What can be done? (Ask Santa, of course.)
Springfield was not an entirely no-knitting-content trip, however. I did pick up Stitch’n Bitch Nation at the mall bookstore. My favorite bit from the text, so far: ”Math is as powerful and magical as any kind of witchcraft.” Of the patterns, this one particularly caught my eye:
I just wish I could figure out a good way to estimate yardage on this stuff
I got it at an estate auction and I have no clue what it is, except that it is old and it is probably partially wool. (I haven’t really mastered the Burn Test. That is, I can burn things up, but I have problems with interpreting my results. The CSI team is not going to be calling me to testify to anything anytime soon.) Also, it is probably pretty much fingering weight. I haven’t swatched it -- just eyeballed it. (Note previous CSI remarks.)
Meanwhile, my winter Knitter’s arrived while I was gone, along with 50 million notes and papers saying, “This is your last issue, omigod, this is the Last One, OMIGOD.” To which I can only say, “Finally.”
I took this quiz when I saw it on Teresa’s blog (I think I have also seen it on others'):
20 Questions to a Better Personality Quiz
My results?
Wackiness: 66/100
Rationality: 76/100
Constructiveness: 62/100
Leadership: 54/100
You are a WRCL--Wacky Rational Constructive Leader. This makes you a Golden God.
You think fast and have a smart mouth, and you are a hoot to your friends and razorwire to your enemies. You hold a grudge like a brass ring. You crackle.
Although you have a leader's personality, you often choose not to lead, as leaders stray too far from their audience. You probably weren't very popular in high school--the joke's on them!
You may be a rock star.

This information is very interesting but, frankly, it is not helping me get my Gift Knitting done.
