No Fit State

I'm still learning new knitting-things-- trying new patterns and whatnot. I did finish the Tom Baker season 12 scarf, after seven months. I since then have started work on some other stuff: a simple lace-patterned shawl, Tom Baker's season 18 scarf, a scarf in new TARDIS blue with a pattern of TARDIS and Dalek, and some leg-warmers for a friend. Pictures will be posted, as I finish. You can check out more notes on the things I knit over on Ravelry-- my username there is "ardaispycrab."
I've since discovered spinning on suspended spindles. My knitting has slowed down a bit, because of it. O^; I recently purchased a supported spindle. That's the next thing to learn.

New year, new journal entry, right?
Nothing terribly exciting's been going on in my corner of the universe. The big news is that I've returned to my knitting needles. I've completed a couple of shawls and learned to knit in the round on double-pointed needles. I'll eventually get to posting the pictures.
Knitting and Netflix have allowed me to catch up on some of the stuff I've wanted to watch. Watching stuff seems to encourage the desire to knit, too. What brought me back to my needles was watching Tom Baker in Doctor Who. I lusted after his scarf. It has all I love in a scarf: it's really wide and super-long. So, I started to make my own. Then, I was gifted with my great-grandmother's needles and yarn-stash, which encouraged me to branch out beyond the garter and stockinette stitches. My scarf is coming along, though more slowly now with the distractions of new things to learn than in the beginning.
I think I'd like to try knitting something lacy, too. I found a beautiful, real wool, lace-weight yarn at the craft store, the other day. I've decided that I need some of it. :3
In other news, I've worked a little bit on one of the projects that I'm doing with kuroitenshi13, but it's slow going since I've been distracted. She's got a few of the designs knocked out, but she's also distracted with other things. O^;

Should put up a new journal entry...
It's been a tough couple of months. More family has died and a weird work-schedule wants to take it's toll. Thankfully, it's spring and I can start to play in the dirt. I'm learning more about container gardening and doing some plant-trading with a couple of co-workers. As the seasons wear on, I'll take some before-and-after photos of my plants-- I've a currant, grapes, lavender, star jasmine, and sweet bay laurel that I'd like to eventually show off. :3

Waiting for the Worms
1 min read
I'm just waiting for a more experienced vitki to look at my bindrunes and go, "You're doing it wrong!" Ahh ha ha ha. O^;; Oh, well. What's important is that I have fun and those for whom they're made like them.
*cough* Anyway, just popped by to say, "Happy Holidays" to folks here on dA.
Yee-haw. I made a rhyme. XD!
