i ripped out the green & white mittens i was working on last week, and i am trying to re-knit them with a corrugated ribbed cuff, but goddamn it is hard to a) find out how to cast corrugated ribbing on neatly or b) do it neatly. I'm not sure it's worth it, but i have cast on these mittens four times now & so fuck it. i am doing corrugated ribbing even if it's messy.

YOU WOULD THINK: that i would have some yarn with which to knit my dad a hat for christmas*. But you would be wrong. oh man, i have to go to the yarn shop! HOW WILL I COPE.

In other news: I have all the ingredients for gingerbread muffins but am too busy watching white collar season two to make them. white collar! it is lots of fun & full of snark. i watched the whole of season one last week and there are only a few episodes left before there is none left! i am now delaying the inevitable by posting to dreamwidth.


*yeah, knitted hats not really appropriate gifts for xmas. but he asked for one. plus it's very wet this year.

instead of making gingerbread biscuits, i have been making felt gingerbread daleks. it's a lot of fun!

i have been meaning to reply for two days now!

wait, what? are they food or toys? how do you make the felt spicy enough!?

they are toys! specifically for hanging on the tree. they are, you know, brown, in the way of gingerbreads.

i doubt they are spicy at all. unless you count shooting you as spicy.

gingerbread has to be spicy. it's in the rules.

but your tree has daleks on! that is very cool. hmm. our tree is not nerdy enough....
