Bwah! Sorry. Had to go there.

I finally got around to the starting to play with the new loom thing last night (and yes, Angela, this means you’re officially On Notice…), and managed to do all my warp calcs, and measure it all out (omfg my arms hurt after that), and got started sleying the reed. I got the reed about 80% done, and just have to finish warping all the rest of it, at least some of which I hope to get done tonight.

And… other than that, there hasn’t been much to report. Critterboy got me the Giant Box O’ Buffy for my birthday, and I’ve been rather engrossed in that (having never previously seen much more than bits and pieces of a few episodes).

OOh! And in the You’ve GOT To Be Kidding arena, may I present the online license tab renewal service of the Washington State Department of Licensing. Other than being REALLY peeved that I had to get new plates for my car (the DOL said so), I was really surprised at the whole thing. It couldn’t have been easier to do - the whole process took, oh, five minutes? And having renewed the tags and plates online on Thursday, I ’bout fell the hell out when the new plates, all tabbed up for me arrived in the mail on Saturday. As Squagel said “damn that prison labor works quick!”… So! Rock on with your bad selves at the state DOL and at the Port Orchard licensing place that actually did the mailing of the plates. Who knew I’d ever have anything nice to say about a licensing office?

And, oh, on the knitting front. There has really been no progress on anything. At all. Well, there was progress on the first sleeve of Durrow (for which I got 15 glorious skeins of Jo Sharp Silk Road Aran Tweed for my birthday), but then I realized that I’m a dumbass and a)hadn’t washed my swatch before I cast on, so I don’t have a damn clue if it’s going to grow or not, and b)I, at least last time I checked, am not an orangutan. So all that lovely cabling and ribbing is going to get ripped out and reknit. Lame. Lame lame lame. There has been a teensy bit of progress on The Blue Scarf, and on The Second Sock, and none at all on the Sock! sock, and again with the none at all on the baby cabled sock, and even more none at all on the green shawl or the red shawl or the silk shawl or the kitty hat or… omg! Angel! naked! oh, wait, was I talking about knitting? Right. That.
