Stitched! :)

Went to meeting. The vibe was wonderful and everyone was cool. And we got a new (potential) member, hilhilknits She recognized me from my photo. So I'm currently lazying around the house, waiting for the UPS man (I want my freaking hooks.
Today. I'm getting cranky about this) and listening to some philosophy online. There's a story I'm working on (I'm writing it with my boy) and a room I'm supposed to clean and a joy that comes from doing my hair early in the morning and waiting for it to dry for styling purposes. In short, a very nice day. One of the funny things I've been learning is that: we labor under the illusion that positive thinking can change the basic laws of reality. It's easy to think we are the arbiters of the way things should be. In this life, in this world we share in unequal joys; in another, we may share in an equal misery. What that means philosophically I prefer to ponder for awhile. But it's an interesting thought nonetheless.

Stitches: I'm spinning a million different blues for a Blue Star jacket (my own design that I'm writing. Slowly, very slowly). I finished the star part, and now I'm working on the sleeves. the stitch that's getting me through this: Tunisian knit stitch. It's wonderfully pretty and makes so much sense since I'd learned to knit about a year ago.

Breaking news: Just got my interchangeable hooks! I'm really excited, especially about the large ones. Afghans and sweaters are in my future, I assure you
