I Hab A Code, So I Must Knit

[leahbobet]

I think I have stillnotbored's internet sinus infection. Or, more precisely, this meatpuppet is trying to have it, and I am as usual being the Mean Mom about things. Which is why I am here in my pajamas instead of at my phonology of foreign accent seminar, trying to root out this insurrectionary movement before it becomes a full-scale revolution and ruins my week. It's already down in my chest. If I can keep on the offensive here, this might be the Fastest Cold Ever.

(Good things we learned due to this, though? My favourite pho place delivers now. Heh heh heh nom nom.)

So I'm sitting home and knitting, as the concentration isn't at a sufficient place to read for classes. Since working beyond the threshold of your competence all the time as a learning strategy isn't just for writing! I'm working on these fingerless gloves. Have I ever done cables before? Knitted in the round before? Hell, am I even confident on my purl stitch? All this is For the Weak. *g*

I'm swearing a lot, but it's turning out.

When I was just doing the straight rows for scarves, I could turn my brain off and knit. Now that I'm operating at the edge of the competence with five $*&%#$ needles and finicky tiny stitches and counting stitches and rows? I'm using my brain.

I'm using my engineering brain.

Anyone who thinks knitting is a Dumb Girl's hobby is a fule.
