Perls of wisdom

I’m so excited. I’m finally taking a knitting lesson. I’ve been waiting for this for months and the time has arrived… just in time for summer! Wheee! *shakes head* It started out as a strong desire to make my own scarves because it’s nearly impossible to find a quality Dr. Who length scarf out there in the world. I also have loose plans to make Hogwarts house scarves for my Tribe at the next Orycon. We’ll see. But that was supposed to be it. All I need is yet another artistic medium! Yet, I bought the book and I’m a scarf making fool now! I also have this really great sweater with a loose knit of cotton that I absolutely love. I want to be able to make more of them. In lots of colours. How did I wander from a scarf or two into the strong desire to make sweaters? Gah! Why do I even do these things to myself? *wanders off bewildered to collect her knitting needles*

I love riding my bike. This bike is so smooth it’s like floating on air. I was so used to fighting the gears and hearing the crunch sound with each pedal stroke that I didn’t realize how much harder it was to make the bike move. And the brakes are so good I over-apply pressure and just about launch myself over the handlebars. I’m just not used to the luxury of a properly running bike! Wheee! Commuting today was a breeze!
